RFP, MLB Demo 53, 77 and 95 West Wood Street, Newaygo, MI

The Michigan Land Bank Fast Track Authority has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP-CASE-19-0021) for comprehensive demolition and abatement services targeting three specific properties located at 53, 77, and 95 West Wood Street in Newaygo, Michigan. The procurement seeks a qualified contractor to perform asbestos abatement, hazardous materials removal, and complete demolition of these structures, which include two residential properties and one former commercial building. A mandatory pre-bid meeting was scheduled for July 26, 2019, at 1:00 PM, with contractor questions due by July 29, 2019, and agency responses provided by July 30, 2019. Proposals were due on August 5, 2019, at noon, with an anticipated contract start date of August 12, 2019. The project requires separate technical and price proposals submitted electronically, with pricing to remain firm for 90 days after bid opening. A detailed hazardous materials survey has already identified specific asbestos-containing materials, including black paneling adhesives, duct wrap, and insulbrick siding flashing materials, which must be professionally removed and disposed of according to regulatory standards.

The RFP does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged business enterprises. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned in the documentation. The project requires the selected contractor to provide comprehensive site services including site security, permit acquisition, utility disconnection coordination, and post-demolition site restoration using clean fill, topsoil, and grass seed. While no specific budget range or award value is directly stated in the available documents, the project involves multiple property demolitions and extensive hazardous materials management, suggesting a potentially significant contract value. The project documentation includes extensive historical environmental assessments and aerial photography documenting the properties' historical land use, indicating a thorough pre-demolition evaluation process. The contract appears to be funded through the Michigan Land Bank Fast Track Authority, with the primary goal of property clearance and site preparation in Oceana County.
