Date: 6/4/02 12:26PM
Subject: Re: The Jones Structure
If it doesn't sell, my understanding is that the department stands ready to demolish the structure and
remove. And that any demolition could be accomplished rather quickly. We would put the removal time
lines in the bid. Jim

Thanks, Jim. No, I do not want the bidding delayed at all. Thank you for the information. It is safe to say,
then, to the neighbors that it will be moved by August 15th (assuming it sells), right? Is that a requirement
of the bids?
Thanks
John
