Demolition of Three Houses

The Salt Lake City Community Reinvestment Agency (CRA) is soliciting sealed competitive bids for the comprehensive demolition of three single-family houses and their associated outbuildings located in Salt Lake City, Utah. The procurement requires a full demolition project that includes removing all above-ground and below-ground structural elements, utility lines, and foundations, with specific requirements to backfill excavations and compact fill to 90% density. Bidders must submit comprehensive proposals limited to 15 pages, which should include company background, personnel qualifications, project schedules, and line-item pricing. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for September 12, 2025, at 10am, starting at 42 South 600 West, where contractors will visit the project sites. Key submission deadlines include a September 19, 2025 deadline for questions and a final bid submission deadline of September 26, 2025, at 5pm Mountain Time. Evaluation criteria will likely focus on the completeness of proposals, contractor qualifications, pricing, and ability to meet stringent demolition and safety requirements. Contractors must demonstrate compliance with OSHA regulations, maintain public safety, install temporary fencing if demolition exceeds 10 days, and ensure dust control through wet demolition techniques.

The solicitation does not explicitly indicate any set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged business enterprises. The CRA requires bidding contractors to carry specific insurance policies, including workers' compensation, commercial general liability ($1M per occurrence), commercial automobile liability, and professional liability insurance. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the project appears to be preparing sites for future development. The insurance and qualification requirements suggest the agency is seeking experienced demolition contractors with robust safety and operational capabilities. Although no specific budget range is provided in the documents, the comprehensive nature of the demolition project involving three houses and associated outbuildings implies a significant project scope. Contractors will be responsible for complete site restoration, utility disconnection, and proper disposal of demolition materials, which indicates potential complexity and associated costs. The anticipated project award is scheduled for October 3, 2025, with the expectation of thorough and professional execution of the demolition services.
