Demolition - 606 Joannes St.

The City of Bossier City is requesting bids for the complete demolition and debris removal of a residential structure at 606 Joannes Street, with sealed bids due November 3, 2026 at 2:30 p.m. and mandatory attendance at a pre-bid site meeting on October 27, 2026 at 10:30 a.m. — failure to attend disqualifies bidders.

The scope encompasses demolition of all building structures, removal of foundations, slabs, driveways, and sidewalks, and grading of the lot, all in accordance with City of Bossier City Ordinance No. 13 of 1999. Relocated structures cannot remain within city limits. An asbestos inspection report dated September 28, 2026 by APEX Environmental Solutions found no asbestos-containing materials in six samples collected from various locations. The City's engineer's estimate is $9,000. Work must be completed within 30 days of receiving notice to proceed; liquidated damages of $100 per day apply for each day of delay beyond that deadline.

Bidders must hold a valid residential construction license and provide proof of general liability and workers' compensation insurance with minimum coverage of $1 million per occurrence, naming the City as an added insured. All bidders must obtain a demolition permit from the City's Permits and Inspections Department and pay associated permit fees prior to commencing work. Bid security equal to 5% of the total bid amount — in the form of a bid bond, certified check, or cashier's check — is required from all bidders.

Sealed bids are due at the Purchasing Department, 620 Benton Road, Bossier City, LA 71111. Public opening and reading occur at 3:00 p.m. during the regular City Council Meeting. All written questions must be submitted to beauchemind@bossiercity.org; written answers will be provided via addendum at least 48 hours prior to bid opening. The City reserves the right to reject any and all bids.
