Demolition of Structure

The City of Owensboro is seeking a qualified contractor to perform a comprehensive demolition project for a commercial structure located at 1829 Triplett Street in Kentucky. The project requires complete removal of the building structure, including concrete foundations, basements, and associated utilities, with specific requirements for site restoration and environmental compliance. Bidders must provide all necessary labor, materials, equipment, and supervision to demolish and dispose of the structure in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations. The scope includes protecting driveway aprons and public sidewalks, backfilling and compacting the structure's footprint, and restoring the site through seeding disturbed areas. Contractors must coordinate with an abatement contractor for asbestos removal per EPA and OSHA standards, and complete all work within 60 days of receiving a purchase order. Bids are due on December 16, 2025, at 2:00 PM CST through the City's online Bonfire portal, with bid opening conducted via Microsoft Teams. The City will award the contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with a bid security requirement of 5% of the total bid.

The contract does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors must obtain a City business license within 10 business days of award and provide a certificate of insurance prior to contract execution. Insurance requirements include worker's compensation, commercial general liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence/$2,000,000 aggregate), and commercial automobile liability ($1,000,000 CSL), with the City named as an additional insured. A one-year workmanship warranty is mandatory, and the City will retain a $500 retainage until bare soil is no longer visible and all sediment barriers are removed. Contractors are responsible for site protection, traffic control, environmental controls, dust mitigation, erosion control, utility disconnection, and final site restoration. Additional compliance requirements include completing sworn statements pursuant to Kentucky Revised Statutes, certifying no violations of state statutes, and submitting a subcontractors registry if applicable. While no specific budget range is provided, the comprehensive nature of the demolition project suggests a substantial contract value commensurate with the detailed scope of work.
