Request for Proposals- Demolition of City Owned Properties

The City of Blue Springs, Missouri, issued Request for Proposals solicitation number 270 on May 13, 2025, to secure a qualified contractor for the demolition of two abandoned city-owned houses located at 1401 NW Vesper St. and 208 NW 15th St., as well as a shelter house and playground structure. The comprehensive scope of work includes the demolition and legal disposal of all materials, followed by backfilling, grading, and overseeding the lots with a fescue/ryegrass mix approved by the Superintendent of Parks, Buildings, and Grounds. Work may only commence once the City provides documentation of completed asbestos abatement and utility disconnection. Final acceptance and a single lump-sum payment, issued on Net 30 terms, are contingent upon a final inspection and written approval by the Superintendent. Qualified contractors must be licensed, insured, and bonded, providing proof of prior experience and certificates of insurance for general liability, auto liability, and workers compensation. Mandatory requirements include participation in the federal E-Verify program, with a notarized affidavit and Memorandum of Understanding required for submission. Financial thresholds trigger additional obligations: payment bonds are required for proposals exceeding 50,000 dollars, and compliance with Missouri Prevailing Wage Law Wage Order 31 for Jackson County is mandatory for projects exceeding 75,000 dollars. Proposals must be submitted in sealed physical format, consisting of two initialed originals, by May 30, 2025, at 1:00 P.M. Electronic submissions via email or fax are strictly prohibited. All contract-related communications must be directed to Derek Mayden, Superintendent of Parks, Buildings, and Grounds. The City reserves the right to award the contract in the best interest of its citizens based on mandatory compliance and contractor qualifications.
