Description
The City of Spencer, Iowa, is seeking a qualified contractor to perform demolition of up to 25 flood‑damaged residential properties and to conduct Phase I asbestos surveys with Phase II post‑abatement inspections. Work must be completed on a “not‑to‑exceed” basis, with demolition completed within 90 days of each property acquisition and asbestos surveys finished within 21 days of the notice to proceed. The contractor must handle utility disconnections, hazardous‑waste segregation, site security, backfilling, erosion control, and must comply with extensive federal, state, and local regulations, including FEMA HMGP grant requirements. The award will be based on responsibility, responsiveness, and lowest price.
• Demolition scope includes removal of structures, concrete, driveways, retaining walls, basements, and site clean‑up, with debris hauled to Northern Plains Regional Landfill.
• Asbestos work requires an Iowa‑licensed asbestos inspector, a separate asbestos‑survey permit, and cannot perform abatement on the same properties it surveys.
• Required bonds and insurance: 100 % performance and payment bonds; $1 M minimum general liability, automobile liability, workers’ compensation, and pollution liability coverage.
• All proposals become public records; the city may terminate the contract with specified notice periods.
• Submission deadline is 30 Oct 2026 4 PM; proposals must be delivered by mail, in‑person, or email to Adam Severson.
