Fancy Street Clock RFP for Demolition

The City of Rock Island is soliciting proposals for the full demolition of the building located at 1223 5th Avenue. The comprehensive scope of work includes pre-demolition services, the disconnection of all utilities and water/sewer services, and the complete removal of the building, foundation walls, footings, and slab-on-grade paving. Following demolition, the contractor is responsible for tree clearing, debris cleanup, excavating and compacting soil in lifts, grading the site to match surrounding topography, and restoring the area with imported topsoil and turf grass seeding. Additionally, the contractor must handle all street patching and right-of-way restoration. The City retains exclusive ownership of all salvageable materials, such as bricks and lumber, which the contractor must segregate and preserve for City retrieval. Environmental compliance is a critical component of the project, requiring strict adherence to NESHAP and OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1101 standards. A May 2024 asbestos inspection identified chrysotile asbestos in the south bathroom floor tile and mastic, and all suspect materials must be handled accordingly. A structural assessment has also highlighted significant deterioration due to moisture and roof failure, informing the necessity of the demolition. Interested contractors were required to attend a mandatory walk-through on June 20, 2024. Sealed proposals, including a comprehensive scope of work, must be delivered in person or via tracked mail to the Community Development Department by July 16, 2024, at 11:00 AM.
