State of RI BHDDH Johnston Group Home Demolition Project

The State of Rhode Island BHDDH is soliciting proposals under RFQ27007057 for the demolition of a former group home located at 22 Tartaglia Street in Johnston, Rhode Island. The selected firm will be responsible for all permitting and the complete demolition of the structure down to the slab, including the removal of existing utilities and below-grade utility structures. Following demolition, the site must be rilled and stabilized with temporary vegetation. A pre-bid meeting is scheduled for October 16, 2026, at 12:00 PM EST at the project site, with a final response deadline of November 5, 2026. The project requires strict adherence to safety and regulatory standards, including OSHA, the 2018 International Building Code, ADA, and EPA notification and disposal regulations. While an April 2026 survey found no asbestos, the contractor must notify the owner if any suspected hazardous materials are encountered. Key requirements include the provision of performance and payment bonds, the installation of site enclosure fencing, and the engagement of a professional engineer to conduct a structural survey to prevent unplanned collapse. The use of explosives and the on-site sale of removed materials are strictly prohibited. Contract administration involves an Architect and Construction Manager, with payments processed via AIA Documents G702 and G703. Quality control will be managed through a submitted schedule of tests and inspections, with earthwork and site grading subject to specific tolerance levels and ASTM testing standards. Failure to meet project timelines may result in liquidated damages of 500 dollars per day.
