About this file
This Scope of Work document outlines the demolition and hazardous materials removal requirements for Gainesville Regional Utilities (GRU) in Gainesville, Florida, involving eight downtown structures within Alachua County. The project encompasses a comprehensive demolition process including site assessment and preparation, hazardous material removal, demolition planning and sequencing, actual demolition work, site cleanup and disposal, and safety measures. Specific deliverables include structural surveys and inspections to assess building integrity and identify hazardous materials such as asbestos, lead paint, and mold; acquisition of all necessary local permits; utility disconnections; establishment of safety barricades and zones; development of detailed demolition plans with step-by-step sequencing; controlled demolition using mechanical or manual methods; dust and debris control implementation; debris removal and transportation to appropriate disposal facilities; site grading and restoration to the original concrete foundation with backfilling of holes using crushed limestone; and final site inspection to ensure hazard-free conditions. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for January 9, 2026, at 9:30 a.m., with bid responses due by 5:00 p.m. on February 5, 2026, via the GRU e-Procurement Portal, with award expected within 60 calendar days of the solicitation due date.
The successful contractor must provide all labor, materials, equipment, permitting, and disposal documentation while maintaining full regulatory compliance with EPA, OSHA, DEP, and Florida Department of Health requirements. Required contractor qualifications include a Florida Asbestos Contractor License, EPA Lead Abatement Firm Certification, and HAZWOPER 40-hour training certification. The contractor must be licensed in the State of Florida and qualified to obtain required demolition permits. GRU will separately contract and pay for asbestos abatement services but requests that the awarded contractor assist with hiring a licensed asbestos abatement contractor; all asbestos removal costs shall be excluded from the contractor's bid price. Insurance requirements include Commercial General Liability ($2,000,000), Contractor Pollution Liability ($2,000,000), Asbestos Abatement Liability, and Umbrella Liability ($5,000,000). A bid bond of 5% and performance and payment bonds of 100% are required upon award. The pricing response form allows for individual building demolition costs and a comprehensive single-project alternative, suggesting flexibility in project scope and budget structure, though exact contract values and funding sources were not disclosed in the available documentation.

1. Site Assessment & Preparation
· Survey and Inspection: Conduct a thorough inspection of the building and surrounding area to assess structural integrity, environmental conditions, and any hazardous materials like asbestos, lead, or mold. GRU will hire an abatement company following the Contractor’s recommendation. Any asbestos removal shall not be included in the Contractor’s bid price.
· Permitting: Obtain all necessary permits and regulatory approvals from local authorities before starting the demolition work. Contractor shall be licensed in the State of Florida and qualified to obtain required permits for this demolition project.
· Utility Disconnections: Ensure that all utilities (electricity, gas, water, sewage, etc.) are disconnected or capped properly to prevent any accidents. GRU will help with the utility disconnects.
· Site Setup: Establish proper barricades, signage, and safety zones around the site to protect workers and the public.
2. Hazardous Material Removal
· Asbestos Abatement: If present, will be removed by a separate Contractor and paid separately by GRU. GRU requests that the awarded Contractor assist with hiring a licensed asbestos abatement Contractor.
· Lead Paint Removal: All samples have been taken and tested. Results will be provided.
· Other Hazardous Waste: Notify GRU of any other hazardous materials (e.g., chemicals, contaminated soil, etc.).
3. Demolition Planning & Sequencing
· Structural Demolition Plan: Develop a detailed plan for how the building will be demolished, including demolition techniques.
· Sequencing: Establish a step-by-step demolition sequence, taking into account the building’s structural layout, materials, and safety concerns.
· Waste Management: Plan for proper segregation and disposal of materials, recycling where possible (metal, concrete, wood, etc.).
4. Actual Demolition Work
· Demolition Techniques: Use mechanical or manual methods to demolish the building safely and efficiently. This may involve:
· Heavy machinery (excavators, bulldozers, cranes, etc.)
· Hand demolition in certain areas (e.g., delicate parts or hazardous zones)
· Structural Integrity Management: Ensure the controlled collapse or dismantling of the structure to avoid damage to surrounding structures or public areas.
· Dust and Debris Control: Implement methods to control dust and flying debris, such as water spraying or dust barriers.
5. Site Cleanup and Disposal
· Debris Removal: Remove and transport debris to an appropriate disposal or recycling facility, following environmental regulations.
· Site Grading and Restoration: If necessary, grade the site to prepare for new construction, leaving it level and free from large debris or hazards. Sites shall be demolished down to the original building concrete foundation remains only. All protruding objects shall be removed leaving a smooth surface. Back fill all holes or ruts with crushed limestone.
· Final Inspection: Ensure that the site is free from hazardous materials, sharp objects, or anything else that could pose a danger after demolition.
6. Safety Measures
· PPE (Personal Protective Equipment): Ensure all workers are equipped with proper PPE (hard hats, gloves, safety glasses, hearing protection, etc.).
· Emergency Procedures: Have emergency procedures in place for incidents like fires, injuries, or hazardous material leaks.
· Environmental Protection: Ensure that surrounding ecosystems are protected from dust, noise, or potential contaminants.
