Emergency Residential Demolition: 12404 Maine

The City of Detroit's Office of Contracting & Procurement issued a Request for Quote on March 9, 2026, for emergency residential demolition services at 12404 Maine, a 1.5-story single-family frame dwelling that sustained extensive fire damage on October 12, 2024, and has been deemed structurally unsound and dangerous. The procurement seeks qualified contractors to perform complete demolition and site remediation work, including pre-demolition preparation, utility disconnection, structure demolition, debris removal and disposal, backfill, grading, sidewalk replacement, and seeding in compliance with Michigan Part 201 Residential Cleanup Criteria. Respondents must complete pre-demolition activities within one calendar day of Notice to Proceed, execute demolition within three calendar days, complete backfill and grading within fourteen calendar days of Open Hole Approval, and submit final invoices within thirty calendar days of Final Grade Approval. Contractors are required to submit site visit photographs with date stamps, provide unit rates for demolition services (administration, supervisor, laborer, equipment, regulated and non-regulated trucking, asbestos disposal, and air monitoring) and backfill/grading services in the prescribed Excel format with no ranges or qualifying notes permitted, and maintain all applicable licensing and certifications including OSHA Lead Awareness Training and asbestos awareness credentials. The evaluation is price-only with awards ranked by lowest cost, and the City retains authority over backfill material sourcing from Category 2 approved sources, debris disposal to licensed Type II landfills, and correction of any contractor deficiencies at contractor expense. The deadline for submitting questions was March 10, 2026, at 1:00 PM EST, with proposals due March 10, 2026, at 3:00 PM EST; payment terms are Net 30 with FOB delivery.

The procurement documents do not specify set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or restrictions on types of organizations eligible to respond, though all contractors must be pre-qualified and complete income tax and accounts receivable clearance through the City's designated process. The documents reference Doe Demolition, Inc., a Detroit-based demolition services provider as a pre-qualified contractor with Jane D. Doe (President) and John D. Doe (Vice President) as primary contacts, though this appears to be provided as a template example rather than an incumbent vendor designation. Contractors bear full responsibility for all equipment, materials, permits (except wrecking or hydrant permits, for which the City is responsible), and corrective actions, with no entitlement to additional compensation for work stoppages, utility delays, or error corrections; however, contractors are responsible for hydrant re-inspection fees of $134.00 if the hydrant fails on residential structures. The procurement documents do not provide an explicit budget range or award value; pricing is to be submitted on the City's rate schedule and price sheet templates with all line items requiring specific dollar amounts. Emergency timelines must be met regardless of frost law restrictions, and the City reserves the right to withhold payment for incomplete or non-compliant work and to offset costs incurred for contractor-caused corrections.
