Invitation for Bids - Removal of Obsolete City Structure

The City of Conroe, Texas is soliciting sealed bids from qualified contractors for the complete demolition and removal of an obsolete city-owned building structure located at 2507 N Frazier Street in Conroe, Montgomery County. This invitation for bids requires contractors to provide all labor, equipment, materials, permits, and services necessary for safe and compliant demolition, including pre-demolition assessments, hazardous materials removal in accordance with Texas state regulations, structural demolition, debris hauling and disposal, and site restoration to a clean, stable condition suitable for future municipal use. Key deliverables include notification to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), completion of asbestos survey and abatement by licensed Texas Asbestos Abatement Contractors, utility disconnect verification, site fencing, building demolition, concrete removal, dust suppression, material sorting and recycling, debris haul-off, universal waste disposal, final grading, erosion control, and site stabilization. The bid is structured as a lump sum cost with a required schedule of values broken down by specific line items including mobilization, permits, and final cleanup. Evaluation criteria include cost proposal (25 points), safety record and compliance history (10 points), technical approach and project plan (25 points), capacity and availability (10 points), and experience and qualifications (30 points). A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for February 12, 2026 at 10:00 am at 100 Plantation Drive, with sealed bids due by 2:00 pm on Thursday, February 19, 2026, and public opening and reading of bids on the same date at the Towery Service Center Conference Room. Bids must be submitted electronically through the OpenGov platform or in duplicate to the Purchasing Department at 401 Sgt Ed Holcomb Blvd, Conroe, Texas 77304, and must comply with federal, state, and local regulations including OSHA, TCEQ, TDLR, and City of Conroe ordinances.

The solicitation documents do not specify any set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, or limitations on the types of organizations that can respond. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are listed in the procurement materials. An asbestos survey report dated July 21-22, 2015 is available as supporting documentation, which identified asbestos-containing materials including sink undercoating (5% Chrysotile) and thermal system insulation (20% Chrysotile) distributed throughout the four-story, 60,000 square-foot commercial office building constructed in 1983. Contractors must presume that any suspect materials hidden within walls, above ceilings, or beneath floors are potentially asbestos-containing materials until analytical sampling proves otherwise, and the City notes that as-built drawings are not available for the existing building. Required submittals include a complete response packet, certificate of insurance, W-9 form, Form 1295, acknowledgement of terms and conditions, EMR score, and references from previous public-sector demolition projects. The specific contract award value or budget range is not disclosed in the bid documents.
