Bid Ref. #25-032 Demolition and Site Cleanup

The City of Albany, Georgia is seeking bids for a demolition and site cleanup project located at 501 Holly Drive, Albany, GA 31705 (old station #3), with bids due on January 9, 2025, at 2:30 p.m. The procurement involves complete demolition of an existing building, including footers, asphalt, concrete driveway, debris near the building, and a fire hose rack. Contractors must obtain demolition permits within 5 days of the Notice to Proceed and complete all work within 30 days of permit receipt. The contract has a 90-calendar-day term, and the project will be awarded on a lump sum basis to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. A pre-bid meeting is scheduled for December 20, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. at 222 Pine Avenue, Suite 260. Contractors must dispose of all debris at either the Dougherty County Landfill or Maple Hill Landfill and provide weight tickets prior to payment. Key qualifications include maintaining a $1 million general liability insurance, $500,000 auto liability insurance, and statutory workers' compensation coverage.

The City strongly encourages small business firms to participate in this bid and provides a 5% local preference for vendors within Dougherty County. Contractors must comply with the Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act and maintain a drug-free workplace. A $300 deposit is required before services commence. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly detailed, the solicitation emphasizes small business participation. The bid documents do not mention an incumbent vendor or specify precise budget ranges, though bidders will submit lump sum proposals. Potential bidders must acknowledge addenda, with two addendums already issued clarifying site viewing requirements and providing guidance on property boundaries and debris removal. Contractors have flexibility in using their own dumpsters for debris removal, provided they adhere to the specified disposal guidelines at the Dougherty County Landfill.
