A 15% minimum minority business enterprise (MBE) participation requirement applies to the total project dollar value.

The scope is complete demolition of a 3,200-square-foot wood-framed structure and basement to slab level, including site fill and stabilization with temporary vegetation. The contractor is responsible for all permitting, site management, environmental protection including erosion and sediment control, and tree preservation. An asbestos determination survey completed April 6, 2026, identified 26 suspect materials across 52 bulk samples; all tested as non-asbestos containing. Work hours are restricted to 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Monday through Friday. Substantial completion is required within three months of Purchase Order issuance, with final completion one month thereafter.

Vendors must be registered Rhode Island contractors with valid certificates of registration and comply with Rhode Island prevailing wage requirements (General Laws 37-13-1 et seq.). The awarded contractor must provide 100% payment and performance bonds prior to Purchase Order issuance and maintain general liability insurance ($1,000,000), workers compensation ($100,000), automobile liability ($1,000,000), crime insurance ($500,000), and professional liability ($2,000,000). A five percent bid surety bond or certified check is required with submission. Submissions must be electronic through Ocean State Procures; mail, hand delivery, fax, and email submissions will not be accepted.

Vendor questions are due October 22, 2026. A contract administrative fee of 0.33% of total contract value will be withheld from invoices. The State reserves the right to make one or multiple awards or reject all bids.
