Demolition of Structures (2)

The City of Owensboro, located in Daviess County, Kentucky, is seeking qualified contractors to perform demolition services for two residential structures through Request for Bid (RFB) 4439. The project requires comprehensive demolition of a 900 square foot single-family residence at 716 Cedar Street (built in 1886) and a 1,200 square foot single-family residence at 530 Triplett Street (built in 1911). Contractors must provide all necessary labor, materials, equipment, and supervision to completely remove building structures, foundations, basements, in-ground pools, mechanical and electrical components, concrete slabs, and abandoned utilities, followed by proper backfilling and compaction. The bid submission is due by August 21, 2025, at 2:00 PM CDT through the City's online Bonfire portal, with all work to be completed within 60 days of purchase order issuance and a 30-day start period from demolition permit issuance. Evaluation criteria will focus on selecting the lowest responsive and responsible bidder for each location, with contractors permitted to bid on one or both properties.

The solicitation does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must provide a 5% bid security and obtain necessary City business licenses, demolition permits, and RWRA sewer disconnect permits before commencing work. Contractors are required to maintain insurance coverage including $1,000,000 in general liability and commercial automobile liability, plus statutory worker's compensation. Special considerations include mandatory coordination with asbestos abatement contractors for the Cedar Street property, which must be treated as an asbestos material site, and strict compliance with federal, state, and local environmental regulations for debris disposal at permitted facilities. While no specific budget range is detailed, contractors must complete a comprehensive set of compliance documents, including a subcontractors registry, exceptions page, demolition waste disposal certification, and statements pursuant to Kentucky Revised Statutes addressing tax and regulatory compliance.
