Shreveport Fire Department Training Tower Demolition

The City of Shreveport, Louisiana is requesting quotes for complete demolition of the Shreveport Fire Department Training Tower at the Police & Fire Academy under RFQ #26-514, with quotes due June 18, 2026.

The scope encompasses demolition of a 7-story concrete and brick structure used for fire rescue training; removal of all debris from the site; demolition of a 64-foot by 40-foot concrete paving area surrounding the tower; and site preparation including fill-material placement, compaction, and grading for positive drainage. All demolition must comply with ANSI/ASSE A10.6 and NFPA 241 standards. Work is restricted to 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, and must be coordinated with Fire Department personnel to avoid interference with facility operations.

Contractors must conduct a visual survey for hazardous materials prior to work commencement. Utilities must be disconnected and capped at least 24 inches below grade before demolition begins. Refrigerant must be removed from mechanical equipment per 40 CFR 82. All demolition waste becomes contractor property and must be disposed of at EPA-approved construction and demolition waste landfills. No explosives are permitted.

Contractors are responsible for temporary facilities, security, erosion and sedimentation controls, and fire-safety programs compliant with NFPA 241 and EPA Construction General Permit requirements. Payment is structured on an AIA Document G703 schedule of values with applications submitted in three signed and notarized copies. Final completion requires documented punch lists, warranty submissions in three-ring binders, and final cleaning to restore the site and adjacent areas to original condition. Russell G. DeLancy, AIA, serves as City Architect and project representative.
