The City of Rawlins is seeking a contractor to safely demolish the former Wyoming Bar and prepare the property for future redevelopment.
- **Buyer and funding:** City of Rawlins Community Development Department, with the Wyoming Community Development Authority (WCDA) serving as the CDBG grantee; funded through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Community Development Block Grant program.
- **Requested work:** Full regulated demolition of the vacant, structurally unsafe former Wyoming Bar at 413 W. Front Street, Rawlins, Wyoming; manage, transport, and dispose of presumed asbestos-containing materials, lead-painted debris, and other hazardous materials; and restore and stabilize the site.
- **Pricing and quantities:** Provide a firm-fixed lump-sum price for the project, plus a unit price per ton for debris found by TCLP testing to be hazardous waste and a unit price per item for removal and disposal of mercury-containing devices, ballasts, and refrigerants. Quantities for the unit-price items are not specified.
- **Notable requirements:** Follow the approved mitigation plan and obtain Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (WDEQ) approval of the final demolition plan before demolition begins. The contractor must hold a City Demolition Class A license, provide relevant asbestos- and lead-related qualifications and an on-site licensed supervisor, and include independent perimeter asbestos air monitoring.
- **Site and safety requirements:** Maximize preservation and salvage of exterior stone verified free of hazardous materials. The Phase I Environmental Site Assessment by **Ayres Associates** found no recognized environmental conditions, but noted that asbestos-containing materials and lead-bearing paint are likely due to the building's age; it recommended an asbestos inspection before demolition. The assessment also discusses nearby Union Pacific rail yard releases, which available information indicates are unlikely to have affected the property.
- **Performance:** Substantial completion is required within 45 calendar days and final completion within 60 calendar days after the Notice to Proceed; liquidated damages are $100 per calendar day of delay.
