Harrison Square
What's in a demolition?
Here's a list of things to be accomplished in
the demolition as taken from the
City's
Request for Bids to clear the proposed Harrison Square area.
The Phase 2 area will become a temporary
parking lot. Map of the
demolition phases.
- Demolish and remove all building and
appurtenances thereto. Demolition is to be limited to buildings and appurtenances on individual parcels as
identified in the "Demolition Phasing Plan Harrison Square Project" and will not
include streets or sidewalks within existing street rights-of-way.
- The Contractor shall not be required to backfill subgrade
excavations in any of the demolition phases except for Phase 2.
- For Phase 2 demolition material used for backfill shall consist of solids only, wood content shall
not exceed five percent (5%). All backfill shall be compacted to a minimum of ninety-five percent
(95%) modified proctor density. The Phase 2 demolition area is to be used for a temporary
parking lot, so demolition in this phase will require this site to be topped-off with 4 inches of
compressed gravel or crushed concrete to serve as a temporary parking surface. Final grade on
in this site should match existing prevailing grade. Phase 2
is the purple block on the bottom left of this
map.
- Basement walls and floors shall be removed in their entirety.
- Fencing shall be installed around each subgrade structure that is not backfilled.
- Prior to demolition of a building, all sewer and drain lines shall be cut and plugged at the street right-of-way line in accordance with the City of
Fort Wayne City Utilities specifications, and shall be subject to inspection before backfilling. Individual service lines serving the buildings to be
demolished should be removed in their entirety from the street right-of-way line to the building. It is the Contractor’s responsibility to
schedule the required inspections with the City’s New Water and Sewer Permit Office.
- The Contractor shall call for and receive one (1) inspection by
the Allen County Building Department. The inspection shall be made
after the basement floor is broken and after the basement walls,
etc., are removed.
- The Project Manager shall meet the contractor at the property site before demolition begins. The Contractor is to contact the Project Manager by
phone two (2) days prior to start of each demolition phase. This is to insure that the proper structure (s)
designated for demolition are identified. A photograph of each structure must be taken by the Project Manager prior to demolition of each property.
- Manhole and catch basin castings and fire hydrants shall be protected and left intact.
- Existing fences shall be removed in their entirety.
- Trees and other vegetation (exclusive of those in rights-of-way) should be removed in their entirety
- The Contractor must obtain a demolition contractor's license and
a demolition permit at the Contractor's expense.
- All above-ground and subsurface structural, floor and subgrade
elements of the buildings, designating trees, other vegetation and
asphalt parking lots at addresses listed on the attached "Demolition
Phasing Plan Harrison Square Project" will be demolished by the
Contractor.
- The Contractor must notify the Indiana Underground Plant Protection Service and all utility
agencies and companies that have utilities in or near the demolition area, and the Contractor must ensure that all existing utility services have been
located and marked before starting any work.
- The Contractor must coordinate termination of utility lines, pipes and related devices that will not be required after demolition. Except where otherwise
specified, the Contractor must terminate all utility service lines and pipes that serve the building in accordance with the requirements of the
company that provides each service...
- The Contractor must use reasonable care to prevent damage to the utilities that will remain in
place during and after demolition. The Contractor must repair or replace at the Contractor’s
expense any utility lines, pipes and related devices that are damaged by the negligence of the
Contractor or the Contractor’s sub-contractors and agents.
- Except where noted otherwise, all underground utilities and other subsurface structures, including
but not limited to all valve boxes, foundation risers, water pipes, sanitary sewer pipes,
storm water
pipes, and all related structures, shall be removed by the Contractor to a depth of at least five (5)
feet below the pre-demolition grade, and capped or terminated in accordance with City of Fort
Wayne Utility Department requirements.
- At the completion of the Contractor’s demolition work the site will be completely clean.
- The Contractor shall submit documentation to the Commission from the owner of an approved
landfill stating that the landfill can legally accept all debris. Contractor shall also be required to
submit all trip and landfill tickets verifying total truckloads of debris hauled to landfill for each phase of the demolition project.
