A live procurement, a court claim and performance terms
Former Unclaimed Freight commercial building: parcel 248000818
The City posted RFQ 27-2084-1118 on October 28, 2026, with quotes due November 2 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern. The earlier IFB 27-2084-1117 is marked
Canceled, with a solicitation-close timestamp of October 28. No cancellation reason, award or completed demolition is inferred. Both published overviews say
the building was issued an unsafe-structure notice in March 2026 and became subject to court-ordered demolition after the owner failed to address the
violation. That account is attributed to the City solicitation; the original notice, service and court order were not retrieved.
The exact-site public search links this building to DERE-2025-0002 and DEMO-2026-0011, parcel 248000818. The latter still reads Open (Pending Court) in
the directly reviewed detail. Preserve the difference between the procurement narrative and portal status; do not replace either with an asserted court
disposition. Individual ownership names and the site address are omitted here.
What the published specifications require
RFQ 27-2084-1118: the revised specifications, pages 3-5, use a site-specific ten-business-day period after Notice to Proceed and describe
$500-per-business-day liquidated damages. One sentence inconsistently spells fifteen while putting 10 in parentheses. Obtain the controlling executed terms
and any clarification; no deadline, breach or damages assessment is calculated from this draft wording.
RFQ 27-1316-1108: the specifications, pages 2-3, describe fifteen business days per site after NTP, excluding City holidays, and $500-per-business-day
liquidated damages. That contractor provision is distinct from the derelict-building law's possible monthly civil penalty. Neither is an actual assessed debt
merely because a maximum or rate appears in a source.
Completion/payment evidence: specifications call for coordination and an NTP, inspection/acceptance and final-estimate certification, with conditional waste-shipment, disposal and
other documentation where applicable. These provisions identify records that can test completion and payment; the underlying NTPs, accepted final estimates, invoices and checks
remain unreviewed.
