Demolition and Removal of Condemned Structure 3302 Douglas St. Port Leyden

The Lewis County contract seeks proposals for the demolition and removal of a condemned residential structure at 3302 Douglas Street in Port Leyden, NY, with a project duration of 90 days and a deadline for submissions set for September 29, 2025. The scope involves asbestos abatement, complete demolition, debris disposal at a designated facility, site backfilling, and site restoration to facilitate future development. The project is grant-funded, requiring compliance with HUD Section 3 employment and contracting goals, prevailing wage laws under NYS Labor Law, and federal environmental regulations. Contractors must coordinate with third-party air monitoring services, secure necessary permits, and carry appropriate insurance, with all debris to be legally disposed of at the County’s expense. The contract emphasizes responsible environmental and safety practices, including asbestos handling and asbestos-containing material disposal, and mandates adherence to federal, state, and local regulations. The procurement process is a best-value selection, where proposals are evaluated based on criteria such as reputation, responsiveness, quality commitment, and local engagement, rather than price alone. The County encourages MWBE-certified firms but does not require specific socioeconomic certifications. Bidders must submit comprehensive proposals including signed forms for non-collusion, anti-sexual harassment, corporate attestation, and Iran Divestment Act compliance, along with a detailed project timeline and cost estimate. The contract stipulates that all work be performed at the specified site, with no formal walkthrough held but site visits permitted at bidders’ convenience. Payment will be made after invoice approval, with the County covering disposal fees directly, and the contract is contingent upon appropriated funds. Overall, the project aims to safely and thoroughly prepare the site for future use, ensuring regulatory compliance and community benefit.
