(KNZA)--The city of Hiawatha is moving forward on the demolition of five derelict properties.
The City Commission last week agreed to solicit bids for demolition of the properties.
Eleven properties had originally been slated for demolition last summer and the city is now down to four houses and one shed. They include houses at 714 Kickapoo, 900 Shawnee, 214 Potawatomie, and 1104 Delaware Street along with a shed at 712 Kickapoo.
City Administrator Mike Nichols says bidders will be asked to submit a price for each property along with a lump sum bid for the demolition of all the properties.
Bids will be opened February 10th and bids awarded at the Commission’s February 16th meeting.
On the recommendation of Code Enforcement Officer Evans Woehlecke, the Commission agreed to proceed with the demolition of the house at 900 Shawnee and to grant the owners of another house on the derelict property list located at 114 North 12th an extension until April 1st to complete needed repairs.
