Emergency Residential Demolition: 20137 Omira

The City of Detroit Office of Contracting and Procurement issued an Emergency Request for Quotes (RFQ) for emergency residential demolition services at 20137 Omira, a 1.5-story fire-damaged brick single-family dwelling that has been declared structurally unsound and dangerous with immediate risk of collapse. Only pre-qualified vendors through the City's Non-Proposal Demolition Program may respond to this procurement. The scope of work encompasses complete demolition including abatement, structure removal, debris management, site remediation, and final grading, with all work to be completed within strict emergency timelines: demolition within three calendar days of the Notice to Proceed, debris removal and Open Hole Inspection within seven calendar days, backfill and grading within fourteen calendar days, and Final Grade Inspection by June 30 for winter approvals or within thirty days for standard approvals. Respondents must submit a completed Price Sheet and Professional Rate Schedule in Excel format, a signed Signature Page with date-stamped photographs of the site visit, certificates of authority, an Affidavit of Disclosure of Demolition Contractors form, and proof of income tax and accounts receivable clearance through the City portal. The RFQ opened January 14, 2026, with a question deadline of January 15, 2026, at 1:00 PM EST and a proposal submission deadline of January 15, 2026, at 3:00 PM EST through the City of Detroit Oracle Supplier Portal. Award will be based on the lowest responsive and responsible bid price with consideration given to local preferences, and the successful vendor must provide 100% performance and payment bonds within five business days of notice of award, along with a Certificate of Insurance naming the City of Detroit and Detroit Land Bank Authority as additional insureds.

The procurement does not identify specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises in the available documentation, though all respondents must comply with City of Detroit Construction Contractor Guidelines and demolition policies. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the RFQ materials, as this represents an emergency procurement for a specific property. Contractors are not responsible for permit costs (wrecking, hydrant, or other permits) and must replace any sidewalks damaged during work at their own expense; however, if a hydrant fails inspection, contractors must cover the $134 re-inspection fee. The specific budget or award value is not disclosed in the available documentation, and all quotes remain binding for 120 calendar days after the deadline. Payment terms are Net 30 with freight terms as the account of the seller and lowest cost carrier shipping via FOB Delivered, with payment contingent upon pre-invoice review and Owner approval of all documentation substantiating satisfactory completion. All quotes are subject to public disclosure under the Michigan Freedom of Information Act, and the City reserves the right to award all groups or line items to one vendor, award each group to different vendors, or award any combination thereof, and reserves the right to reject any and all quotes, cancel or modify the RFQ at any time, and withhold or rescind the notice to proceed.
