Gold Bond Gypsum Wallboard Manufacturing Facility Demolition Project

The contract pertains to the demolition and removal of all onsite improvements at the former Gold Bond gypsum wallboard manufacturing facility located at 1850 Pier B Street in Long Beach, California. The scope includes the complete dismantling and removal of structures such as the warehouse, gypsum dome, mill and plaster buildings, board plant, office complex, ship unloading hopper, overhead and reclaim conveyor systems, underground storage tanks, utilities, access roads, parking areas, and associated footings and electrical components owned by Gold Bond. Notably, certain infrastructure owned by Southern California Edison—including an electrical distribution panel and its foundation—and existing rail spurs and fencing will remain in place. The work is governed by stringent environmental and regulatory requirements under CEQA, SCAQMD, DTSC, and other state and local agencies, with mandatory compliance with ASTM E1527-21 for environmental site assessments and adherence to the approved Soil Management Plan. The project must follow a defined performance timeline spanning from December 2025 to February 2026, with advance notice requirements of 10 days prior to commencement and 48-hour notification before any work begins. The contractor is responsible for implementing fugitive dust controls, stormwater BMPs, hazardous materials management, and full indemnification of the Port of Long Beach against liabilities, in addition to submitting as-built drawings, certified surveys, and operational permits in specified formats. All submissions must be made in both hard copy and electronic formats, with digital deliverables required in active, editable formats such as Bentley MicroStation for CADD files and ASCII comma-delimited coordinates for utility data—PDFs and static documents are unacceptable. The Port of Long Beach serves as the lead agency overseeing environmental compliance, review, and final acceptance, with responsibility resting with its Director of Environmental Planning. Documentation must be submitted to designated email addresses including CEQA@polb.com and GoldBondDemo@polb.com, with physical copies sent to the administrative office at 415 W. Ocean Blvd. No contract value, pricing details, or federal acquisition regulations are specified, and no formal contracting officer, COR, COTR, or PCO is named; however, the environmental specialist Jennifer Blanchard is the primary point of contact for project inquiries. The site is situated within a designated disadvantaged community under California environmental justice statutes, and all activities must adhere to state environmental laws, including CARB diesel equipment standards, RCRA compliance for waste handling, and 811 utility coordination protocols.
