Interior Demolition and Environmental Remediation

The Roberson Museum and Science Center is soliciting proposals for a general contractor to perform interior demolition and asbestos abatement at its main campus in Binghamton, New York. The project scope includes general demolition as detailed in the September 2026 office renovation drawings and project manual, as well as environmental remediation. Bidders must provide lump sum pricing and may bid for demolition only, abatement only, or a combined scope. Those submitting combined bids must hold the necessary New York State certifications. The project emphasizes the protection of museum collections and the maintenance of safe public access, with all work required to adhere to The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties. The performance schedule begins with abatement posting on December 26, 2026, followed by abatement starting January 4, 2027, and demolition starting January 25, 2027, with substantial completion targeted for February 17, 2027. Window abatement and removal are scheduled for late winter or spring, concluding by June 1. The project has established socioeconomic goals of 30.00% for Minority/Women Business Enterprises (MWBE) and 6.00% for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Businesses (SDVOB). Contractors must provide proof of Workers’ Compensation and Disability Benefits Insurance, and the Roberson Museum must be named as an additional insured on a primary and non-contributory basis. For contracts totaling $100,000 or more, a Vendor Responsibility Questionnaire for profit construction is required. Bids must be submitted electronically to Michael Grasso by December 2, 2026. Work hours are set for Monday through Friday, 7:30 AM to 3:30 PM, and the project is tax-exempt.
