Demolition and Removal of State Owned Property 1763 Old Reserve Drive Kalispell Area

The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for the demolition and removal of state-owned property located at 1763 Old Reserve Drive in the Kalispell Area, spanning Flathead County and Judith Gap City jurisdictions. This procurement solicits lump-sum bids for the complete demolition of a house, garage, and other improvements at the property, with all labor, materials, equipment, and incidentals included in a single service line item. The bid opening occurred on February 5, 2026, at 3:00 PM MST, with bids due by February 26, 2026, at 2:00 PM MST, and the requested service delivery and project completion date is May 31, 2026. Prospective bidders must be registered with the Montana Department of Labor and Industry prior to contract execution, and all technical inquiries must be submitted through the eMACS Q&A Board. The solicitation does not specify site visits, bidders' conferences, or pre-bid meetings. Payment terms are Net 30 days, and any bids totaling $150,000 or greater must be accompanied by bid security equal to 10 percent of the total bid amount.

This procurement is subject to multiple federal and state requirements that applicants must satisfy, including prevailing wage requirements, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) 1273 provisions, Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) requirements, and Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) contract goals. Bidders must demonstrate compliance with Montana's Worker's Compensation Act, acknowledge asbestos project permit requirements, and satisfy Montana contractor gross receipts tax obligations. The solicitation does not identify an incumbent vendor or current contractor, nor does it specify existing infrastructure or technology requiring integration. No specific award value or budget range is published in the solicitation documents; however, the 10 percent bid security requirement for proposals of $150,000 or greater suggests the anticipated project cost may exceed this threshold. Detailed specifications and prevailing wage rates are available as downloadable attachments through the eMACS procurement system.
