Main Street Demolition Project

The City of Weed is soliciting bids for the complete demolition and removal of three fire-damaged structures located at 251, 265, and 269 Main Street in Weed, California, with work encompassing both above-grade and below-grade elements including basement walls, slabs, and foundations. The contractor is responsible for capping all utilities, backfilling and grading the excavated areas to match existing site elevations, and installing necessary sheeting, shoring, and bracing to safeguard adjacent properties. A hazardous materials assessment investigation is required specifically for the property at 269 Main Street, and all work must comply with the 2025 California Building Code, California Existing Building Code, and Building Standards Administration Code, along with industry standards such as ASTM D1557 and ASTM D6938 for soil compaction and density testing. The project requires adherence to Greenbook Standard Specifications and mandates use of approved backfill and aggregate materials, with final surfaces ensuring positive drainage and proper compaction. All waste materials must be disposed of off-site under approved agreements, and on-site material handling must prevent wind erosion and hazardous substance leakage while maintaining labeled containers. The solicitation is structured as a lump-sum fixed-price contract with nine distinct bid line items covering demolition, backfill and grading, temporary and permanent erosion controls, fencing, and hazardous materials assessment, though no dollar values are provided in the bid form. The evaluation will follow a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable approach, awarding the contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder whose proposal meets all technical requirements. The work period begins 30 days after the Effective Date of the Contract or the Notice to Proceed date, with substantial and final completion milestones to be determined. All bids must be submitted in sealed envelopes to the City of Weed by the deadline of August 19, 2026, and must include required certifications such as the Iran Contracting Act Certification and Debarment Certification, with supporting documentation provided if any affirmative responses are indicated. The City of Weed serves as the owner, with PACE Engineering, Inc. acting as the engineer responsible for inspecting and certifying work and payment applications. The contractor must submit original as-built drawings and record documents to qualify for final payment, comply with California civil rights laws, and observe strict hot work restrictions on Red Flag and Fire Weather Watch days. No federal accounting codes, electronic invoicing systems, or military packaging standards apply, and the process is entirely paper-based with no electronic submission
