Demolition of Condemned Dwellings (Group 7)

Horry County Government is seeking qualified and licensed contractors to execute the Demolition of Condemned Dwellings (Group 7) project, which involves comprehensive asbestos abatement and demolition services for ten condemned properties across Horry County, South Carolina. The procurement encompasses the complete removal of various structures, including mobile homes, stick-built dwellings, and associated outbuildings, with a mandatory requirement for contractors to complete at least 50% of the work directly. A mandatory pre-bid conference and site walkthrough is scheduled for June 20, 2024, at 10:00 AM, beginning at 537 Woodland Drive in Murrells Inlet, with subsequent property site visits. Bids are due electronically by 2:00 PM on July 10, 2024, and must include a comprehensive Required Forms Packet demonstrating the contractor's qualifications. Bidders must possess a South Carolina general contractor's license and potentially a hazardous material removal license, with evaluation criteria likely focusing on completeness of documentation, demonstrated capability, and compliance with local regulations. The contract requires completion within 60 calendar days after receiving the Notice to Proceed, with a 5% bid bond required and 100% performance and payment bonds to be provided by the successful bidder.

The procurement allows for a local vendor preference mechanism, enabling Horry County-based businesses to potentially match bids from non-local vendors within specific percentage thresholds (5% for contracts under $100,000 and 2% for contracts over $100,000). The project will be funded through Horry County General funds, with a 10% retainage held on payments, and requires extensive documentation including non-collusion affidavits, drug-free workplace certifications, and various compliance documents. While no specific incumbent vendors are identified in the provided documentation, the project appears open to qualified contractors meeting the specified licensing and documentation requirements. Bidders must submit a comprehensive set of forms verifying legal and financial standing, including business licenses, tax information, and proof of good standing. The procurement does not explicitly outline a specific budget range, but the comprehensive documentation requirements and specific local vendor preferences suggest a structured approach to vendor selection and project execution.
