DISCUSSION: The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to authorize the execution of non- exclusive annual agreements for the demolition of commercial and/or residential structures, including the removal, transportation, and disposal of associated debris that may contain asbestos-containing materials. The Environmental Services and Code Compliance Departments manage these services to ensure compliance with regulations related to any environmental hazards. Environmental Services staff issued Request for Qualifications (RFQ) 25-0080 that included detailed specifications describing the responsibilities and requirements to provide these services. The contracts primarily provide on-call services for abatement of substandard structures or to assist with redevelopment efforts. These services are task order-based and performed on an as-needed basis. A Request for Qualifications (RFQ) 25-0080 was advertised in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram on February 05, 2025; February 12, 2025; February 21, 2025; February 26, 2025; and March 05, 2025. The City received six (6) responses. To maximize cost savings for the City and ensure efficient service delivery, individual non-exclusive agreements will be established with up to four of the highest scoring contractors. When a demolition project arises, each contractor will be asked to submit a cost proposal based on the defined project scope. The contractor with the lowest cost estimate will be issued a task order to complete the work. Five companies submitted responsive bids. The Diversity and Inclusion Department/Business Equity Division deemed Lone Star Trucking and Excavation's bid as non-responsive for failure to comply with the established Business Equity Goal. 1.
