House of Tomorrow Residential Structure Voluntary Salvage Opportunity

Pierce County has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the voluntary salvage of materials from the historic House of Tomorrow located at 4907 66th Avenue East near Puyallup, Washington, as part of the Clarks Creek Property Acquisition Project. The project involves removing salvageable materials from the house prior to its scheduled demolition, with the understanding that all salvage activities must adhere to safety protocols, especially concerning asbestos hazards. An AHERA survey has been conducted to identify asbestos-containing materials, which are not eligible for salvage due to health risks. The RFP also includes detailed documentation from the Historic American Building Survey (HABS), providing structural drawings, reports, and photographs of the house and surrounding features, although not all items listed may be available for salvage. The solicitation, titled "House of Tomorrow Residential Structure Voluntary Salvage Opportunity," was posted on February 2, 2024, with a response deadline of February 16, 2024. It is managed by the Washington Procurement and Contract Division under NAICS code 562910, which pertains to environmental remediation services. Interested parties can contact Cherena Roland via email or phone for further details, and additional project information is accessible through the provided online portal link. The project emphasizes safety, historical preservation, and environmental considerations during the salvage process prior to demolition.
