DEMOLITION OF DANGEROUS BUILDING

INVITATION TO BID – DEMOLITION OF DANGEROUS BUILDING –

260 KING STREET

May 1, 2024

The Town of Oxford, Maine (the “Town”) is seeking competitive bids for the demolition and removal of the single family home (the “Structure”), located at 260 King Street in Oxford (the Property”), and the restoration of the Property to its pre-development state (collectively the “Project”).

The Oxford Select Board determined the Structure to be a dangerous building, within the meaning of 17 M.R.S. § 2851, on January 18, 2024, as evidenced by an Order of Demolition of even date, recorded in the Oxford County Registry of Deeds in Book 5797, Page 808, a copy of which is attached hereto.

Consistent with 17 M.R.S. § 2851 and 2853, the Town has provided the property owner with sufficient time to remove the Structure, but the property owner has failed to do so.  As such, the Town is authorized by law to receive bids and choose a responsive bidder to carry out the Project on behalf of the Town. 

Any bidder having questions about the Town’s legal authority to authorize this Project may submit questions regarding the same as detailed in this Invitation to Bid.
