T-Hangar Demolitions

The Melbourne Airport Authority is soliciting sealed bids for the demolition of six T-Hangar buildings (Units B, C, D, E, G, and H) and eight concrete foundation slabs at Melbourne Orlando International Airport. The Invitation to Bid (ITB #2025-0829) requires qualified demolition contractors licensed by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation to complete the project. Bidders must submit comprehensive documentation, including a Bidder Response Sheet, Conflicts of Interest Certificate, Public Entity Crimes Form, and E-Verify Certificate. The project has specific requirements, including demolition limited to two buildings at a time, working hours restricted to 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Monday through Friday, and mandatory compliance with environmental regulations. Bids are due on October 2, 2025, at 2:00 PM, with the potential for final demolition to occur in December 2025. Asbestos surveys for all T-Hangars have been completed, showing no asbestos-containing materials, though contractors must follow standard safety protocols for unexpected material discoveries.

Contractors must maintain specific insurance coverages, including $2 million in Comprehensive General Liability, $2 million in Auto Liability, Workers' Compensation, and a $1 million Fire Insurance policy. The project does not appear to have specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged businesses. Electrical and plumbing disconnection will be handled by the airport authority, simplifying the contractor's responsibilities. Materials must be completely removed from the site and disposed of in compliance with Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) regulations. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive insurance and demolition requirements suggest this is a substantial project with potential for significant compensation. Weekend work is permitted only with prior Airport Authority approval, and progress payments may be negotiated based on the completion of multiple units. The project represents a comprehensive demolition effort to clear multiple T-Hangar structures at the Melbourne Orlando International Airport.
