Only firms pre-qualified by the City of Detroit Office of Contracting and Procurement Non-Proposal Demolition Program are eligible to submit quotes.

The property is a two-story frame family dwelling with structural compromise, including a collapsing side bay window shifted approximately two feet and a deteriorating front dormer presenting imminent collapse risk.

Backfill material must source from a City-approved Category 2 source.

Respondents must submit a completed Price Sheet and Professional Rate Schedule in .XLSX format via the Oracle iSupplier Portal, with unit rates for demolition (administration, supervisor, laborer, equipment, trucking, and asbestos/construction-demolition material disposal) and backfill, grading, and site finalization services. All rates must be single mean values with no ranges; blank fields render submissions non-responsive. Contractors must visit the site in person before bidding and provide a date-stamped photograph from that visit. The successful vendor must secure performance and payment bonds equal to 100 percent of the total contract amount within five business days of award. Quotes remain binding for 120 calendar days.
