FS 31 Interim Decommissioning

The City of Seattle Department of Finance and Administrative Services is requesting bids for demolition and site restoration at Fire Station 31 Interim, located at 10503 Interlake Avenue North in Seattle, Washington, with bids due September 16, 2026 and mandatory pre-bid site inspections on August 21 and August 26, 2026. Two pre-bid dates are scheduled to accommodate bidder access requirements.

The base scope includes demolition and removal of two tensile fabric tents (3,880 square feet), concrete tent foundations, modular building support systems, fencing, utilities, paving, and storm drainage components, with site restoration to a fenced gravel parking lot and small play area. Restoration work encompasses site grading, gravel surfacing, new fencing and gates, engineered wood fiber play area surfacing, concrete paving, and storm drainage system extensions. Alternate (Additive) No. 1 provides for demolition and disposal of modular buildings; if not awarded, the bidder must coordinate access for modular building removal by others. The project is organized in three phases, with Phase 2 involving modular building removal by the Owner's separate contractor.

The Engineer's Estimate is $921,198.00 for the base bid and $164,231.00 for Alternate No. 1. This is a lump sum, single-prime contract with liquidated damages for schedule non-compliance. Bidders must submit a 5 percent bid guaranty and are subject to prevailing wage and responsible-bidder requirements under Washington law, including contractor registration, industrial insurance, and prevailing wage training certification.

A Public Works Women and Minority Business Inclusion Plan is mandatory, worth up to 16 points with a minimum 10-point threshold for responsiveness. The project carries a 15 percent past-performance WMBE utilization rate. Questions are due September 9, 2026. Bid opening is September 16, 2026 at 2:00 p.m., submitted electronically through OpenGov. The apparent low bidder must submit supplemental documentation including insurance evidence, executed Payment and Performance Bond, and a Social Equity Plan within specified timeframes following Notice of Intent to Award.
