Demolition Old Police Department

The City of Casselberry, located in Seminole County, Florida, is soliciting proposals for the comprehensive demolition of the Old Police Department at 4195 South US Highway 17/92. This Request for Proposals (RFP-2025-1312) seeks a qualified firm to completely demolish the existing 22,426 square foot municipal building constructed in 1997, along with associated infrastructure including block walls, sidewalks, and curbing. The project requires a detailed demolition approach that includes utility disconnection, asbestos removal, erosion control, and site restoration to a fine-grade level, with the ultimate goal of expanding Lake Concord Park. Proposers must demonstrate substantial experience in municipal demolition and provide comprehensive documentation including maintenance of traffic plans, environmental compliance certificates, and before-and-after photographs. The evaluation will be conducted in two phases, assessing proposers based on qualifications, experience, project approach, and pricing, with potential interviews for top candidates. Key dates include a mandatory pre-proposal meeting on June 12, 2025, and proposal submissions due on July 8, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. Proposers are required to submit an RFP Security Bond of 5% of the total bid price and must comply with all local, state, and federal environmental guidelines.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The project requires a comprehensive six-line item price proposal covering mobilization, demolition, stormwater control, disposal, hazardous material removal, and vegetation clearance. An asbestos survey conducted in October 2024 by Ardaman & Associates confirmed no asbestos-containing materials in the building, which may impact abatement costs. The demolition must carefully navigate existing environmental monitoring infrastructure, including 18 monitoring wells with varying groundwater chemical concentrations. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the project involves a complete municipal building demolition on a 101,059 square foot property, suggesting a potentially significant contract value. The successful contractor will be responsible for all necessary permits and must adhere to strict safety and environmental compliance standards. Notably, the project includes specific instructions to preserve certain site features, such as existing asphalt and select oak trees, while preparing the site for future park expansion.
