26-38 Demolition of 827 Dibert Ave.

The City of Springfield, Ohio, is soliciting electronic bids for the demolition of a condemned former school and storage building located at 827 Dibert Ave. The project involves the complete removal of a 31,860-square-foot two-story structure with a walk-out basement and attached garage on a 0.731-acre lot. This is designated as a hot demolition, meaning all building materials are treated as asbestos-containing material and must be handled and disposed of accordingly. The scope of work includes the removal of all structures, foundations, slabs, and vegetation, as well as the disconnection of all utility services. The winning contractor will coordinate with MAKSolve, LLC for asbestos oversight and air monitoring. Bids must be submitted electronically via Bid Express by 10:00 AM local time on November 4, 2026, and require a digital ID for submission. A virtual bid opening will be held at the same time via Google Meet. All work is subject to Ohio Prevailing Wage Laws, and contractors must submit certified payroll records and an affidavit of compliance. The project requires three specific permit inspections—prior to backfill, at the sewer cap, and for final grade—and final acceptance is determined by the City Code Enforcement Manager. Payment will be made within 30 days of an approved invoice, though the City may retain 4 percent of costs until final grading and seeding are completed. Bidders must provide a bid bond or certified check, and the successful awardee must provide performance and payment bonds.
