Demolition

The Franklin County Land Bank has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the demolition of a single-family residential structure located at 92 Wawbeek Avenue in Tupper Lake, New York. The procurement opportunity requires a comprehensive demolition service that includes fully removing the existing residential building, managing debris control, protecting an adjacent detached garage, and performing site grading and partial backfill. Contractors must submit a detailed proposal encompassing a company profile, work plan, cost breakdown, and documentation of appropriate licensing and insurance. The RFP evaluation will focus on multiple criteria, including the contractor's experience, qualifications, regulatory compliance, project timeline, cost effectiveness, and professional references. Key dates for this procurement include a proposal submission deadline of September 5, 2025, with all project work to be completed by October 1, 2025, and interested vendors can direct questions to Shiela Conners, Executive Director, at executivedirector@franklincountylandbankny.org or via phone at 518-481-0556.

The procurement opportunity is open to all business entities across New York State, with no specific set-aside designations for service-disabled veteran-owned businesses. The RFP requires contractors to provide proof of general liability and workers' compensation insurance, with the Franklin County Land Bank to be named as an additional insured party. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, contractors must provide an itemized cost proposal with a not-to-exceed total cost. The Land Bank reserves significant discretion in the procurement process, including the right to reject any proposals, waive procedural irregularities, cancel the RFP at any time, and award the contract in whole or partial segments. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure requirements, and the total project budget is not specified in the available documentation. Potential bidders should carefully review all documentation and ensure full compliance with the specified requirements and evaluation criteria.
