Demolition Services

Ottawa County, on behalf of the Ottawa County Land Bank Authority, is soliciting proposals for demolition services through RFP 25-074, which is part of the Michigan State Land Bank Authority's Blight Elimination Program. The specific project involves comprehensive demolition of a 4,200 square foot commercial property located at 402 East 8th Street in Holland, Michigan, previously used as a laundromat and dry cleaning center. Vendors must provide end-to-end demolition services, including complete site clearance, utility disconnections, hazardous material abatement, and site restoration. Key procurement dates include a pre-proposal conference on September 10, 2025, a questions deadline of September 12, 2025, and a proposal submission deadline of 2:00 PM ET on September 23, 2025. Vendors are required to submit detailed responses addressing their experience, qualifications, past projects, project approach, and proposed costs, along with three professional references from similar governmental or community-based projects. Evaluation criteria will likely focus on vendor qualifications, project methodology, technical capabilities, and comprehensive pricing.

The procurement appears open to qualified vendors without explicit set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Proposals must include a comprehensive narrative addressing team experience, past relevant projects, project approach, itemized cost proposal, and additional value-adding information. The total grant amount for this project is $79,300.56, with the contract running from August 1, 2025, to September 30, 2026. Reimbursement is contingent upon satisfactory completion of project requirements, including environmental compliance and proper waste disposal. Vendors must provide detailed documentation and will need to navigate the property's historical environmental considerations, such as past use as a dry cleaning facility and potential underground gasoline tank. While insurance certificates are not required at submission, successful bidders must provide them upon contract award. Proposals must remain valid for 120 days from the signature date, with an estimated contract start date of October 31, 2025, and intent to award by October 3, 2025.
