Demolition Services

The Connecticut Housing Finance Authority is requesting proposals for demolition services from qualified Connecticut-licensed demolition contractors for a single-family residential home at 353 Hayden Hill Road in Torrington, with proposals due September 14, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. Connecticut licensing is a hard eligibility requirement.

The scope encompasses pre-demolition preparation including asbestos and hazardous-materials testing, utility disconnection, well abandonment, septic decommissioning, and fuel oil tank removal; complete structural demolition with foundation and retaining-wall removal; site restoration with backfilling and hydroseeding; and final closeout with manifests and municipal approvals. The property is a 1940-built single-family home of 945 square feet on 1.1 acres with wood-frame construction, full basement, garage, oil heat with basement tank, well, and septic system.

Proposals are limited to 20 single-sided pages and must address company history, Connecticut licensing and presence, staff backgrounds, rate structures, employee diversity information, affirmative action commitment, litigation history, conflicts of interest, termination history, prior CHFA experience, and three client references. All authorized signatories must submit representations and certifications regarding ethics compliance, gift prohibitions, Iran investment certification, nondiscrimination, and campaign contribution limitations per Connecticut General Statutes.

Selected contractors must carry commercial general liability ($1 million per occurrence / $2 million aggregate), automobile liability ($1 million per accident), workers' compensation with statutory limits, umbrella liability ($2 million), professional liability ($1 million per claim / $1 million aggregate), and cyber liability ($1 million), with CHFA named as additional insured.

CHFA will evaluate proposals based on qualifications, organization and approach, and fees. The authority may select multiple firms and reserves the right to reject proposals, modify scope, negotiate fees, or request oral presentations. Questions are due August 24, 2026 directed to Shelly Mondo at RFP.RFQ@chfa.org. No contract value or term is specified.
