Hazardous Building Materials Abatement, Hazard Cleanup, and Building Demolition

The Town of Redding is soliciting proposals for hazardous building materials abatement, hazard cleanup, and demolition at the former Gilbert & Bennett Wire Mill located at 20 and 30 North Main Street in Georgetown, CT. Funded by a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Brownfields Cleanup Grant, the project scope includes the removal of asbestos-containing materials, lead-based paint, PCB-containing materials, biohazard materials, and petroleum-impacted soil, as well as the demolition of interior elements and the overall structure. Prospective bidders must attend a mandatory site visit on November 13, 2026, and submit their proposals by December 7, 2026. The contract is subject to stringent federal and state regulations, including the Davis-Bacon Act, the Clean Air Act, and the Federal Water Pollution Control Act. Contractors must adhere to OSHA construction standards and specific EPA regulations regarding PCB and asbestos handling, including strict packaging and labeling requirements. Award evaluation is based primarily on the competitiveness of the price proposal and the proposer's past performance and regulatory compliance history. For contracts exceeding $100,000, both 100% performance and payment bonds are required. Final payment is contingent upon the First Selectwoman's acceptance of the work and the submission of all required documentation, such as Waste Shipment Records and air monitoring results.
