About this file

This document contains notes and specifications for an RFP issued by the City of Detroit, Michigan, for emergency residential demolition services at two fire-damaged properties located at 14053 Liberal Avenue. The project encompasses two buildings: Building 101, a 1-1.5 story brick single-family dwelling with extensive fire damage to interior and exterior walls, an opened roof, structurally compromised second-floor walls at risk of collapse, and surrounding unmaintained yards with evidence of illegal dumping; and Building 102, a 1-story frame dwelling completely consumed by fire with only foundation outline and charred debris remaining. Both properties are DLBA-owned and have been recommended for emergency demolition, with the fire occurrence dated July 9, 2026. Emergency timelines must be met regardless of frost law restrictions. The scope of work includes complete demolition, debris removal, yard cleanup, and backfill material sourced from a City of Detroit-approved Category 2 backfill platform source.

The successful vendor must comply with the CDD Abatement and Demolition Contractor Discipline Policy effective May 12, 2025. Additionally, upon receipt of BSEED Open Hole Approval, the Construction & Demolition Department will notify the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department (DWSD) to verify water service line material and remove any lead service lines if present, which DWSD will complete within five business days. The demolition project timeline will be paused during this lead service line inspection and removal process, with documentation of hold dates and release dates to ensure accurate contractor performance tracking and contractual timeline compliance.

*Emergency timelines must be met regardless of if Frost Laws are in effect.

Backfill:

· The awarded vendor must use backfill material from a Category 2 source approved on the City of Detroit Backfill platform. Please refer to the backfill platform for a current list of approved sources.

DWSD Lead Service Line Removal

· Effective August 1, 2026, as part of all planned and emergency residential and commercial demolition projects, the Construction & Demolition Department (CDD) will notify the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department (DWSD) upon receipt of BSEED Open Hole Approval. This notification will allow DWSD to:

1. Verify the existing water service line material; and

2. Remove any lead service lines, if present.

· DWSD has advised that, once notified that a property is ready for inspection, it will complete the inspection and any required lead service line removal within five (5) business days.

· No changes to the demolition scope of services or contractor responsibilities are required as a result of this process.

· Upon receiving the Open Hole Approval notification from BSEED, CDD will create a demolition issue in Salesforce. This will automatically notify the demolition contractor that the property has been placed on hold while DWSD verifies the water service line material and removes any lead service line, if necessary.

· The demolition issue will pause the project's term of performance and document both the date the property was placed on hold and the date it was released. This process will ensure accurate tracking of contractor performance and compliance with contractual timelines.

Discipline:

· The successful vendor will be subject to the “CDD_Abatement and Demolition_Contractor Discipline Policy_5.12.2025”.

· This policy can be located in your Contractor Resources Folder or at the following link here. CDD_Abatement and Demolition_Contractor Discipline Policy_5.12.2025.pdf of
