Contract term: 6 Months PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project is the demolition of unsafe buildings in the City's East End neighborhood and Market Hill neighborhood. The City has identified 23 homes in these neighborhoods that have been vacant for over 20 years, and are in seriously deteriorated condition, and have been declared unsafe buildings. All of these buildings are in a state of collapse, and are both a hazard to the surrounding neighborhood, and a blighting influence. The program will include demolition of the buildings, disposal the demolition debris in an approved landfill, backfilling and grading and seeding the site. Asbestos abatement prior to demolition is not possible, due to the unstable condition of the buildings, and controlled demolition methods are to be utilized. The Project will include preparation of plans and specifications, bidding of demolition work, awarding of a demolition contract, oversight of the demolition process, hiring an independent environmental firm to undertake air monitoring, as well as compliance with all applicable State and Federal regulations. Women- owned and minority-owned businesses and Section 3 businesses are strongly encouraged to submit responses to the RFP.
