RFP Note to Include_EMG Demo_1.8.2026 (7).docx

This file contains notes for inclusion in a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by the City of Detroit for emergency residential demolition services at 14178 Rockdale in Michigan. The property is a one-story frame dwelling that is vacant and open to trespass, with severe fire and structural damage including a partially collapsed roof with burnt-through rafters and joists, a structurally unsound masonry chimney presenting collapse risk, and significant voids in first-floor joists from fire and water damage. The site is heavily overgrown and littered with fire-damaged debris, with an occupied dwelling to the south and a vacant lot to the north. An Emergency-DEMO placard has been posted on the property, and an emergency demolition order has been recommended by the Department of Fire and Fire Prevention. The RFP emphasizes that emergency timelines must be met regardless of whether Frost Laws are in effect.

The awarded vendor must source backfill material from a Category 2 approved source on the City of Detroit Backfill platform, with contractors required to reference the platform for current approved supplier lists. No specific response dates, due dates, or award dates are provided in this note document. Pricing terms, bid amounts, and other financial details are not specified in this file, which appears to serve as preliminary guidance for RFP preparation rather than the complete solicitation document.
