Demo Bid Packet with attachements.pdf

The City of Johnstown, NY is soliciting bids for a demolition project involving two properties located at 2-10 S. Perry Street and 7 N. Melcher Street. The bid advertisement was released on March 17, 2025, with sealed bids due by 11:00 a.m. on April 16, 2025. The project involves complete demolition and removal of existing structures, with work to be completed no later than August 31, 2025. The contract will be awarded at the April 21, 2025 Common Council Meeting, with work beginning as soon as practical. Bidders must provide proof of an Asbestos Handling License and a licensed asbestos supervisor and project designer.

The project is structured as a lump sum bid for both sites, with the City reserving the right to award the contract to the lowest responsible bidder or reject all bids. The properties, assessed at $95,000 (2-10 S. Perry Street) and $60,000 (7 N. Melcher Street), were recently acquired by the City of Johnstown. Structural evaluations by C.T. Male Associates indicate both buildings are in poor condition, with significant structural damage, water leaks, microbial growth, and potential risk of collapse. The demolition will require compliance with New York State Department of Labor Code Rule 56 for asbestos projects, and contractors must ensure no damage to adjacent structures during the demolition process.
