The City of Urbana, Illinois, has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for the demolition and disposal of a former fire station located at 1407 N. Lincoln Avenue. The project involves the removal of an approximately 10,000 square foot building and the restoration of the site to a mixed-use lot consisting of asphalt and grass. A critical component of the scope is the handling of known asbestos, which requires strict compliance with safety protocols and specialized removal procedures.

Bids are due electronically by September 25, 2026, at 2:00 PM via the city's procurement portal. The award will be based on the lowest responsive bid, provided as a lump sum. Requirements for bidders include the submission of a proposal bid bond, apprenticeship and training program certifications, and adherence to prevailing wage rates. Successful contractors must provide a performance bond for 100 percent of the contract price within 15 calendar days of the award. The project also requires compliance with ADA standards and the Illinois Accessibility Code.
