In order to consider a replacement contract for these services, the City requested proposals from qualified contractors to meet the City’s demolition needs on an as-needed basis. Contractors that are deemed as qualified pursuant to the minimum requirements set forth in this Solicitation shall be placed in a pool for as-needed services. As such, the City, from time to time, will issue Invitations to Quote (ITQ) to the pool of pre-qualified demolition contractors and shall be given an opportunity to quote future projects as they present themselves.

Successful Contractors shall provide all labor, materials, equipment, supplies, insurance, fuels, permits, retirement of utilities and any other items necessary to complete the demolition work, the removal of demolition materials and disposal of materials and related work for these future projects.

The City retains the right to utilize the resulting contracts in a manner that serves the best interests of the City. As such, the City may decide to utilize other procurement methods for future projects when applicable. The resulting contract shall not serve as a guarantee of future work for those contractors deemed to be prequalified pursuant to this solicitation process.
