BACKGROUND
On July 14, 2015, PM Realty Group (PMRG) representing the City of Alameda, sent out a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the demolition and clean-up of vacant former military buildings on the property bounded by Orion St., West Tower Ave. and Stardust Place located at Alameda Point. The proposed project was comprised of the full range of services including safe demolition of buildings containing asbestos, removal and clean-up of asbestos-containing and contaminated materials and related debris, and transportation and disposal of waste materials.
DISCUSSION
To solicit the maximum number of bids and most competitive price, the RFP was provided to 21 separate builders exchanges throughout the Bay Area. A notice for the RFP was sent out to all the contractors on the Public Works listing, published in the Alameda Journal, and put on the City's website. Nineteen participants attended the mandatory bid walk for the project. Four consultants submitted proposals, which were opened on Tuesday, July 14, 2015 and are outlined below.
