800 Wildwood Ave - Demolition

The City of Jackson, Michigan, in conjunction with Kalamazoo County and Huntington Woods City, issued a Request for Quotation on May 6, 2026, for the complete demolition of a 1,024 square-foot commercial building located at 800 Wildwood Avenue, with proposals due by May 19, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. and project completion required by July 7, 2026. The procurement encompasses comprehensive demolition services including mandatory asbestos abatement, hazardous materials removal, complete building and accessory structure demolition, foundation and basement removal, utility disconnection, site restoration, and environmental compliance activities. The scope of work includes removal of approximately 40 to 68 linear feet of curb cuts and entry approaches, installation of approximately 7,840 linear feet of curb and gutter, removal and replacement of approximately 7,078 linear feet of public sidewalks, removal of trees and vegetation with selective preservation of specified trees, and final site grading with three inches of topsoil, seeding, and straw coverage, along with planting of Japanese Lilac and Bradford Pear trees. Qualified contractors must be prequalified, maintain current SAM.gov registration, hold appropriate Michigan demolition and residential builder licenses, secure all necessary permits including Michigan Department of Transportation approval for right-of-way work, and provide proof of environmental and liability insurance with minimum limits of $1,000,000. The project is subject to liquidated damages of $1,000 per calendar day for completion delays, and pricing must be submitted on a lump-sum basis with detailed cost breakdowns across six line items distinguishing asbestos abatement expenses and greening costs for state treasury reimbursement purposes. Contractors must obtain required clearance inspections and comply with all hazardous material abatement protocols established by the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality and Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration before commencing demolition activities.

This procurement includes mandatory federal compliance requirements as the project is funded through Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) programs administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, necessitating contractor adherence to minority and women's business enterprise (MWBE) participation requirements, Section 3 employment provisions, equal employment opportunity standards, and federal labor laws including the Davis-Bacon Act, Copeland Anti-Kickback Act, and Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act. Contractors must take affirmative steps to ensure participation of small and minority-owned businesses and women's business enterprises through solicitation practices and task division where economically feasible. The asbestos inspection report, prepared by a Michigan/EPA-accredited inspector on February 3, 2026, identified friable asbestos-containing materials in window glazing on six windows, approximately 832 square feet of Category I non-friable vinyl floor tile with mastic, and approximately 728 square feet of Category II drywall compound, all of which must be abated by a certified asbestos abatement contractor prior to demolition in compliance with OSHA and EPA NESHAP standards. A Notification of Intent to Renovate/Demolish form must be filed with the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality at least ten working days prior to demolition commencement. No incumbent vendor information or specific budget values are listed in the procurement documentation; however, the project is funded through the City of Jackson's general fund, with payment processed bi-weekly upon completion and city approval, and all financial records must be retained for five years following contract termination. Submissions are required through the City of Jackson's e-Procurement Portal, and the City reserves remedies for contract violation including suspension, termination, contractor debarment, and cost recovery through retained funds or legal proceedings.
