Demolition and Site Clearance 45E Scott St

The City of Fond du Lac is seeking proposals for a comprehensive demolition and site clearance project located at 45 E Scott Street. The primary procurement involves demolishing a largely vacant former cheese factory with a building footprint of approximately 112,500 square feet. The project also includes an alternate bid item for clearing approximately 138,000 square feet of paved areas. A mandatory pre-bid walkthrough is scheduled for 8:00 AM on August 25, 2021, and sealed bids must be submitted by 2:00 PM on Wednesday, September 8th, 2021, at the City/County Government Center. Bidders are required to submit a certified check, bank draft, or bid bond equal to 5 percent of their gross bid as a performance guarantee. Each proposal must include a "Bidder's Proof of Responsibility" filed and approved at least five days before the scheduled bid opening. The City reserves the right to reject any or all bids and will make final determinations regarding bidder qualifications through the Director of Public Works.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly noted in the procurement documents. The complete bidding documents can be obtained from Demand Star or by contacting the Deputy Procurement Officer, Josh Musack, via email at jmusack@fdl.wi.gov or by phone at 920-322-3453. Bids must remain valid for 30 days following the opening, and bidders must be prepared to execute a performance bond within ten days of award notification. While a specific budget range was not disclosed, interested contractors should be prepared to provide comprehensive demolition services for a significant industrial site. The procurement appears to be open to qualified contractors with demonstrated capabilities in large-scale demolition and site clearance projects, with the City maintaining significant discretion in vendor selection based on their assessment of bidder responsibility and proposal quality.
