Emergency Residential Demolition: 19132 & 19140 Dwyer

The City of Detroit Office of Contracting and Procurement is issuing an Emergency Request for Quotes (RFQ) for the demolition of two fire-damaged residential structures located at 19132 and 19140 Dwyer in Detroit, Michigan. This procurement is restricted to firms pre-qualified by the City of Detroit Office of Contracting and Procurement Non-Proposal Demolition Program. The scope of services encompasses comprehensive demolition work including site demarcation and signage within one calendar day of the Notice to Proceed, structural demolition within three calendar days, debris removal and disposal, dust control measures, backfill and grading operations, and final site finalization with seeding. Contractors must assign a qualified Project Manager, ensure all personnel possess required certifications including OSHA Lead Awareness Training and asbestos awareness training, maintain comprehensive documentation for seven years from final payment, comply with continuous dust control requirements using two-hose wetting systems, and refrain from work when wind speeds exceed 20 mph. The evaluation criteria is based on price only, with award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder; local preferences will be considered. The submission deadline is January 16, 2026, at 2:00 PM EST, with a question deadline of January 16, 2026, at 1:00 PM EST. Bidders must conduct mandatory site visits, submit date-stamped photographs of each property, complete the demolition signature page attesting to site inspection, and submit pricing using Excel-formatted price sheets and professional rate schedules with mean per-unit rates for both demolition and backfill/grading/site finalization services.

This procurement is exclusively available to pre-qualified vendors in the City of Detroit Non-Proposal Demolition Program, which constitutes a significant restriction on respondent eligibility; no information regarding disadvantaged business enterprise set-asides or incumbent contractors is provided in the procurement documents. Successful vendors must secure 100 percent performance and payment bonds within five business days of award and provide certificates of insurance naming the City of Detroit and Detroit Land Bank Authority as additional insureds. The City reserves the right to award the RFQ in whole or in part to one or more vendors and to modify services by amendment after contract approval. Payment will be made in accordance with the City of Detroit Prompt Payment Ordinance on a Net 30 basis, with contractors responsible for all equipment, materials, corrective actions, and sidewalk repairs but explicitly exempt from permit costs including wrecking permits and hydrant re-inspection fees (except if a hydrant fails, requiring a $134.00 fee). No specific contract value or budget range is disclosed in the procurement documents, as pricing will be determined through individual site-specific unit rates submitted by qualified contractors. The contract is subject to oversight by the City's Office of the Inspector General and Board of Ethics, and quotes remain binding for 120 calendar days after the submission deadline.
