INTRODUCTION
Overview
Demolition of residential and commercial structures is being undertaken as an approved eligible
activity under the Genesee County Land Bank Authority (GCLBA) Demolition Program. GCLBA
invites the submission of bids from pre-qualified contractors added to GCLBA's Bidder's List that
are experienced and licensed to conduct the abatement, demolition and disposal of residential
and commercial structures located in Genesee County.
"Bidders" means the companies or individuals that submit bids in response to this IFB.
"Contractor" means the Bidder whose bid submitted in response to this IFB is selected for award
of a contract.
All Bidders and Contractors, their representatives, employees, and subcontractors are expected
to maintain a friendly and professional demeanor whenever interacting with the public, Genesee
County Land Bank, or any representative of an enforcement agency or regulatory authority. This
includes interactions among Bidders and Contractors at bid openings and in the execution of any
such work contracted by GCLBA. Bidders and Contractors that violate this code of conduct may
be subject to consequences.
Nothing in this IFB shall be construed to create any legal obligation on the part of GCLBA or any
Bidder. GCLBA reserves the rights, in its sole discretion, to amend, suspend, terminate, or re-
issue this IFB in whole or in part, at any stage. In no event shall GCLBA be liable to Bidders for any
cost or damages incurred in connection with the IFB process, including but not limited to, any
and all costs of preparing a response to this IFB or any other costs incurred in reliance on this IFB.
No Bidder shall be entitled to repayment from GCLBA for any costs, expenses or fees related to
this IFB. All supporting documentation submitted in response to this IFB will become the property
of the GCLBA. Bidders may also withdraw their interest in the IFB, in writing, at any point in time
as more information becomes known. Bids offering less than thirty (30) days for acceptance by
the Genesee County Land Bank from the date set for opening will be considered non-responsive
and will be rejected.
Only firms/contractors that are pre-qualified and have been added to GCLBA's Bidder List can
respond to IFB's issued by the GCLBA.
Not a pre-qualified contractor?
GCLBA accepts Pre-qualification Applications on a rolling basis. The only time there is a deadline
associated with Pre-qualification submittals is when they are submitted with the intention of
Pre-qualifying for a specific bid that has been let. For more information regarding Pre-
qualification applications as they relate to specific bids, please visit GCLBA's Contracts and Bids
page: https://www.thelandbank.org/contracts_bids.asp.

HUD established nationwide benchmarks for work performed by tracking the labor hours. The
two benchmarks are (1) twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the total number of labor hours
worked on a Section 3 project is performed by Section 3 workers; and (2) five percent (5%) or
more of the total number of labor hours worked on a Section 3 project is performed by Targeted
Section 3 workers. The five percent is within the twenty-five percent. The labor hours reported
must include any labor hour charged against the budget of the project.

The purpose of this project is to provide abatement, demolition, waste disposal, and site

and Genesee County. Bidders can respond to the bid/ scope of services described below (the
complete scope of work is available in Appendix 1A and Appendix 1B.

start of work.
Each Bidder must sign and submit the Certification of Site Visit Form as supplied in Attachment

must occur prior to demolition; with no exceptions. These activities are to be performed in
compliance with all relevant rules and regulations and specifications attached hereto.

EVALUATION CRITERIA AND SCORING
Beginning with the lowest cost proposal, the Review Team will evaluate bids received and identify
the submittals that are the most responsive, responsible and offer the best service to the GCLBA.
Additional proposals will only be evaluated if the award is not made to one of the three lowest
cost proposals. The GCLBA will consider Bidder qualifications, financial viability, project
references, experience with comparable projects, and current and future capacity based on
projects with concurrent timelines. Specifically, each IFB package will be reviewed based on the
submittal requirements defined below. Submittals that do not meet the defined criteria may be
rejected.
