GENERAL BIDDING CONDITIONS

Contractor shall be properly registered with the City of Fort Smith and shall be on the

approved list of contractors for the demolition work required under this Agreement.

Contractor shall be solely responsible for the safety of Contractor's employees and others

relative to Contractor's work, work procedures, material, equipment, signage, etc.

Any asbestos found in the structure(s) shall be removed as directed by the Arkansas

Department of Environmental Quality (“ADEQ”) requirements and guidelines. The

asbestos shall be removed separately from other material, and transported to an approved

landfill or other approved disposal sites. The City shall be notified of the time for removal

of the asbestos so that they may be present to oversee the operation or take samples if

they so desire.

Contractor shall obtain within 14 business days of bid award all necessary permits from

Smith, Arkansas (479-784-2206) and pay all fees pertaining thereto as required prior to

commencing work. Contractor must specify on the permit application the exact location

to be used for dumping the remains of the demolition.

Exact locations and legal descriptions of structures to be demolished shall be provided to

Contractor by City. Contractor shall inspect each individual site prior to commencement

of the work.

The procedure for demolition shall be as follows:

a. After all the work of removal of utilities has been accomplished, the structure(s) shall

be razed to the base of foundation walls and footings. If concrete basements exist,

the foundation walls, footings, concrete basement walls, floors, etc. shall be broken

out and removed from the premises, as well as all pavement such as walks, driveways,

curb, etc., located to or within the property(s) involved and as directed by the City.

All pipes exposed by this operation that are to be abandoned shall also be removed

and disposed of as directed. After completion of demolition, the top 2' of fill, voids

between all brick, rock, etc., shall be filled with dirt or sand and compacted equal to

the existing ground surface. Granular fill material having large boulders will be

rejected.

All material remaining as a result of the demolition shall become the property of

Contractor and shall be removed from the premises and disposed of in a proper manner

and in accordance with City ordinances.

Immediately upon completion of the work on each portion of the project, as directed by

the City representative, Contractor shall, at his sole expense, clean up and remove all

refuse materials of every kind. Upon failure to do so within twenty-four (24) hours after

having been notified by the City representative, the work may be done by the City and

the cost thereof deducted from the amount of Contractor's final payment. The City will

not make the final inspection until all work outlined in this Agreement has been

completed by Contractor and the final clean-up performed.

All work shall be executed in an orderly and careful manner with due consideration for

neighbors and the general public. Masonry shall be removed and demolished in small

sections using bracing and shoring to avoid total collapse of the structure or large sections

thereof. Bracing and shoring shall be adequate to maintain without damage to any

neighboring building, structure or other private property. Streets, sidewalks, driveways,

etc. are to be kept reasonably clean during demolition and shall be swept clean not less

than once each day and before leaving at the end of the day's work, or more often if

requested by the City representative.

10. Cleaning up of junk, rubbish and debris is an essential part of this operation and

arrangements shall be made to keep the premises clean and safe at all times as

accumulation of this material shall not be tolerated.

11. All work must be completed within thirty (45) days upon notification to commence

demolition. All Contractors must guarantee satisfactory completion of the work involved

within this time frame.

12. All salvageable materials shall become the property of Contractor upon completion of the

project.

13. PAST PERFORMANCE: All contractors shall be evaluated on their past performance

and prior dealings with the City (i.e., failure to meet specifications, poor workmanship,

etc.). Thus, a Contractor may be deemed non-responsible based on poor past

performance.

14. Contractors incur and are responsible for all costs involved including investigating,

formulating, and submitting of bid responses. “All or none” bids shall not be accepted.

15. The City's designated representative shall be available to the Contractor to provide regular

progress inspections.

17. Upon completion of each demolition project, Contractor shall submit to the City, through

the City representative of each project, an invoice for the price quoted in bid document.

Payment for work, satisfactorily completed, will be made within thirty (30) days after

work has been inspected and accepted by the City representative.

18. Successful Contractor shall be required to furnish the required Demolition Bond as per

Ordinance No.4-94 (copy available upon request) when bid is awarded.

19. Equal Opportunity Employment: All qualified Contractors will receive consideration

without regard to race, color, religion, sex, age, disability or national origin. Contractor
