BACKGROUND
The Land Reutilization Authority of the City of St. Louis, Missouri ("LRA" or "Authority") is
seeking bids for General Contracting Services at 6303 West Florissant Avenue, formerly known as
the Club Imperial. The building was built pre 1952 giving the building an approximate age of around
72 years old. The building is a two story plus basement with multi-wythe brick masonry exterior
bearing walls. Infill appears to consist of wood framed joists, steel beams, masonry bearing walls,
and wood columns. The roof is low slope/flat with what is believed to be single slope to the south
facade. Downspouts are present on the south facade. A parapet is observed on at least the east, north
and west sides. The full building footprint appears to have interior brick masonry walls forming
three distinct sections. The street facing (north) facade appears historic with stone bands, stone coins,
and other stone accents. West facade maintains the same historic character as the north facade.
LRA is seeking the services of a St. Louis city certified eligible demolition contractor for the
selective deconstruction and demolition of its building located at 6306 West Florissant.
The work which the Contractor shall be required to perform under this contract shall commence at
the time stipulated by the Authority in a Notice to Proceed. LRA seeks to have these services
completed no later than September 30, 2026.

were due solely to delay in the mail, as provided for in this section.
CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Respondent, shall, by signed declaration attached hereto as Exhibit J, affirm that it is not aware of
any conflicts of interest impacting this RFB; that it has not employed or solicited, nor will it

persons disclosed on its declaration, no elected or appointed officials of the City of St. Louis;
employees of the City of St. Louis; employees or board members of St. Louis Development
Corporation or the Land Reutilization Authority of the City of Saint Louis, Missouri; or any of their

or in this solicitation.
WITHDRAWAL OF BIDS
Bids may be withdrawn by written request dispatched by the Bidder in time for delivery in the
normal course of business prior to the time fixed for closing, provided that written confirmation is
placed in the mail and postmarked prior to the time set for bid submission. Negligence on the part of
the Bidder in preparing its bid confers no right of withdrawal or modification of its bid after such bid
has been opened.
REJECTION OF BIDS
The Authority reserves the right to reject the bid of any Bidder, notwithstanding its price, for any
reason considered by the Authority to be relevant to the Bidder's potential performance, including
but not limited to the Bidder's past performance on other projects; claims history, financial capacity
and stability of the Bidder; workforce and management capability of performing the work within the
required Time for Completion and consistent with the other requirements of the Contract
Documents, relevant experience and qualifications (or lack thereof), the Bidder's willingness to
execute the required Contract, and any other information requested by or furnished in response to
this Invitation in the attached Instructions to Bidders, availability of qualified personnel to supervise,
manage and perform the work; existence of adequate bonding and insurance; past payment history of
the Bidder with respect to subcontractor obligations and other bills for materials, supplies, labor or
related services; the Bidder's ability to conform to the requirements of the Contract, Identified
Drawings, Technical Specifications and other Bid Documents; and the Authority's assessment of
whether the Bidder is capable of performing the work in a full, timely, complete and proper fashion.
In determining which Bidder, if any, the Authority concludes is the lowest, most responsive Bidder,
the following elements, in addition to those above mentioned, will be considered:
a) the capacity of the Bidder to perform the work;
a. whether the Bidder and any subcontractors has the necessary workforce to complete
the work timely;
b. whether the Bidder and any subcontractors has adequate equipment available to do
the work properly and expeditiously and in conformance with contract requirements;
RFB - LRA Deconstruction & Demolition Page 6

c. whether the Bidder has suitable financial resources to meet the obligations incidental
to the work;
d. whether the Bidder has appropriate technical experience; and
b) the MBE/WBE goals of the contract.
The Authority reserves the right to waive non-substantive irregularities in the bidding. Based on the
nature of the work to be performed, and the technical requirements, experience and capacity
necessary in connection with work required by the contract, the Authority will evaluate each bid by
determining the specific entity and individuals who will be performing the work on the Project. The
Authority reserves the right to reject any Bidder as unqualified, if it proposes to perform the work
principally through other companies who will participate in the bidding as a partner or joint venture
with the Bidder.
Each Bidder is required to provide a Performance and Payment Bond as set forth in the contract. In
assessing the qualifications, responsibility and responsiveness of a Bidder, the Authority may
consider whether the entity submitting the bid is capable of providing the Performance and Payment
Bond in its own name, or instead is providing bonding or insurance through an affiliation with
another entity.
AWARD OF CONTRACT
Each Bidder is required to submit a fully completed Form of Bid (Exhibit C). It is understood by the
Authority that the actual types and quantities of repairs to be made will be determined during
construction and may affect the final Project cost. The successful Bidder and the award of a contract
will be based on the Authority's overall determination as to the lowest, most responsive Bidder,
considering, among other things, not only cost but adherence to specifications, past performance of
the Bidder, and such other factors as have been identified herein. The selected Bidder to whom an
award is made will be notified at the earliest practicable date. The Authority however, reserves the
right at its sole discretion to reject any and all bids and to waive any non-substantive irregularities in
the bids received. This includes, but is not limited to, the failure of a Bidder to make reasonable good
faith efforts to demonstrate the ability to meet the City's MBE/WBE goals prior to bid opening.
