Emergency Residential Demolition: 9253 Morang

The City of Detroit is seeking bids for emergency residential demolition at 9253 Morang in Detroit, Michigan, with proposals due September 24, 2026. This is an expedited emergency procurement under municipal authority; standard competitive bidding procedures apply, though timelines are compressed.

The scope requires complete demolition of a two-story, single-family frame dwelling that sustained fire damage on March 15, 2021, resulting in structural failure of all load-bearing assemblies and foundation. The property presents significant life safety hazards, including unsupported wall remnants, a free-standing north wall, and fall hazards at the rear leading to an open basement void. The site is located between occupied residential properties. Demolition must be completed within three calendar days of the Notice to Proceed, with debris removal within seven calendar days. Backfill and grading must be completed within fourteen calendar days of open hole approval; winter grade approval is permitted for properties demolished between September 16 and April 15. The contractor must provide all equipment, materials, personnel certifications, and permits and is responsible for all completion costs, including corrections, damage repairs, and dust control. Personnel must possess current OSHA Lead Awareness Training and asbestos awareness credentials. Backfill materials must meet Michigan Part 201 Residential Cleanup Criteria and originate from City-approved sources. All debris must be disposed to licensed Type II landfills as asbestos-containing waste.

Pricing is unit-rate based across two service categories: Demolition (administration, supervisor, laborer, equipment, trucking, and disposal) and Backfill, Grade, and Site Finalization (administration, supervisor, laborer, equipment, and materials). The contractor must submit complete Professional Rate Sheets with mean per-unit pricing; blank fields or ranges are grounds for rejection. The contractor must conduct a mandatory site visit and submit a date-stamped photograph with the bid. Effective August 1, 2026, the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department will inspect upon Building, Safety Engineering and Environmental Department (BSEED) Open Hole Approval to verify water service line material and remove lead service lines, with a five-business-day timeline; this inspection window pauses the contractor's performance term. The awarded contractor must comply with the City of Detroit's "CDD_Abatement and Demolition_Contractor Discipline Policy" dated May 12, 2025.
