1520 e. Ganson ST - demolition

The City of Jackson, Michigan, is seeking a qualified contractor to execute a comprehensive demolition project for a residential property located at 1520 E. Ganson St. through a Request for Quotation (RFQ) released on November 6, 2025, with bid responses due by November 14, 2025, at 10:00 am. The project encompasses full demolition services, including mandatory asbestos abatement of floor tiles and basement wall texture containing chrysotile asbestos, complete removal of the 2,300 square foot residential structure built in 1920, and extensive site restoration. Specific deliverables include hazardous material removal in compliance with MIOSHA and DEQ regulations, utility service termination, curb and sidewalk removal and replacement, precise grading, and site restoration with topsoil and seeding. Contractor qualifications include mandatory registration on SAM.gov, possession of Residential Builders or Maintenance Alteration with R-Home Wrecking classification, and comprehensive insurance coverage. Contractors must provide detailed pricing across multiple categories: greening costs, demolition costs, and asbestos abatement costs. The project timeline is stringent, with liquidated damages of $1,000 per calendar day for missed deadlines, and completion is divided into two phases - initial demolition by January 9, 2026, and full site restoration by April 15, 2026.

The procurement is funded through the City of Jackson's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, which introduces specific federal compliance requirements for contractors. These requirements include mandatory participation guidelines for minority and women's business enterprises, Section 3 employment provisions prioritizing low-income persons, and adherence to various federal acts such as the Copeland "Anti-Kickback" Act and Davis-Bacon Act. While no specific set-aside designations are explicitly mentioned, the project emphasizes inclusive contracting practices and requires strict compliance with non-discrimination standards. The project involves a 0.13-acre residential parcel with specific landscaping requirements, including the strategic removal of existing vegetation and the installation of two 2" caliper Japanese Lilac trees. Though a precise budget range is not specified, the project's comprehensive scope suggests a significant investment in urban redevelopment. Contractors must be prepared to navigate complex regulatory environments, demonstrate environmental stewardship, and provide detailed documentation to ensure compliance with HUD funding regulations.
