The City of Rawlins is seeking a contractor to safely demolish the former Wyoming Bar and prepare the site for redevelopment.
- **Government buyer:** City of Rawlins, through its Community Development Department, with the Wyoming Community Development Authority (WCDA) as the CDBG grantee; the project is funded through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The Rawlins Downtown Development Authority is also identified as a project partner.
- **Procurement scope:** Regulated full demolition of the vacant, structurally unsafe former Wyoming Bar at 413 W. Front Street, Rawlins, Wyoming; debris handling and disposal; and site stabilization for future redevelopment.
  - Manage presumed asbestos-containing materials, lead-painted debris, and any mercury-containing devices, fluorescent bulbs or ballasts, refrigerants, or other hazardous materials encountered.
  - Use required wet methods and dust controls, and dispose of hazardous materials at an approved facility.
  - Preserve and stockpile exterior stone verified to be free of hazardous materials.
- **Pricing and quantities:** Submit a firm-fixed lump-sum price for the demolition project, plus unit prices for TCLP-determined hazardous debris disposal per ton and removal/disposal of mercury-containing devices, ballasts, and refrigerants per item. No quantities are specified for the unit-priced work.
- **Important requirements:** Contractor must hold a City Demolition Class A license, demonstrate relevant asbestos and lead experience, provide a licensed on-site supervisor, and include an independent qualified asbestos consultant for perimeter air monitoring. Demolition cannot start until the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (WDEQ) approves the final demolition plan. The bid must address the demolition plan, delivery schedule, compliance documentation, and preservation of eligible stone.
- **Schedule and 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.
- **Environmental information:** Ayres Associates prepared the Phase I Environmental Site Assessment. It reported no recognized environmental conditions or significant data gaps, but noted that asbestos-containing materials and lead-bearing paint are likely because the building predates 1900; an asbestos inspection was recommended. The project environmental review records a Finding of No Significant Impact.
- **Estimated project funding:** The environmental assessment lists estimated HUD funding and total project cost of $493,947.55. Ayres Associates is identified as the assessment preparer, not as a bidder.
