This document is a site evaluation letter from Barry Isett and Associates, Inc. to the City of Scranton's Office of Economic and Community Development, specifically addressing the property located at 734 Theodore Street in Scranton, Pennsylvania. The letter, dated May 6, 2024, details the findings of a site visit conducted on May 2, 2024, which assessed the property's condition for potential demolition. The evaluation revealed significant structural deficiencies, including a collapsed 20-foot span of the main foundation wall and extensive deterioration of the building envelope, leading to the professional recommendation that the structure is beyond repair and should be demolished.

The site evaluation is contextually related to the City of Scranton's 2025 Demolition Projects Round 3, a broader municipal initiative seeking sealed bids for demolition services. The project will be conducted through an e-Procurement Portal, with bid submissions due by 10:00 am on Wednesday, November 26, 2025. Prospective bidders are required to register on the city's procurement portal to access bid specifications, receive addenda notifications, and submit proposal documents. The bid opening will be livestreamed on YouTube, and all technical questions and clarification requests must be submitted through the portal's Q&A section.
