The City of Charlotte is seeking to contract with one or more companies that provide on-call Unspecified Demolition and Environmental Services. This includes Securing Structures, Asbestos Abatement, Demolition, Underground Storage Tank and Soil Removal, Well Abandonment, and other environmental remediation services. All service providers must hold a North Carolina General Contractor’s License and should be knowledgeable of all federal and state statutes and regulations regarding these various services.
The City is looking to award contracts for a term of three years with the option for two, one-year renewal terms.
In 2019, more than 100 homicides occurred in Charlotte — an 80 percent increase over the previous year and the city’s highest number of homicides since the early 1990s — and hospital emergency departments treated more than 4,000 Mecklenburg County residents for assault-related injuries.
In response to the increase in violence, the City, County and partners have adopted a new public health approach to prevent violent crime.
To help address this problem, the Office of Equity, Mobility and Immigrant Integration seeks one community organization to act as the Lead Agency and implement Cure Violence Global’s violence interruption model in the priority geography of Beatties Ford Rd and Lasalle St.
Today customers must either mail in payment (check/money order/certified funds) or physically come to the Charlotte Mecklenburg Government Center (CMGC) to pay their Code Enforcement violation invoices. For this opportunity, we are soliciting vendors for proposals to automate this process so that payments can be made by Credit Card, Debit Card, or Tele-Check from a web browser with a secure internet connection.
The City anticipates selecting one (1) or more firms for On‐Call Services to include securing structures, asbestos abatement, utility coordination/relocation, demolition, clearing and grading of specified structures and related improvements, underground storage tank, and contaminated soil removal, well abandonment, tree removal, and miscellaneous environmental remediation. Services may be planned or as a result of an emergency and do not fall within the confines of an existing project’s contract. Most demolition services are urgent in nature and required to protect the health, welfare, and safety of our residents.

The City of Charlotte aims to improve neighborhood quality of life through a community engagement strategy that ensures children are safe, succeeding in school and supported by their community. An integral component to achieving this goal is providing funding to organizations that deliver high-quality out of school time services to children and youth in high-need neighborhoods.
Since 1978, the City has provided funding to agencies that offer Out of School Time (OST) enrichment programs to Students from low-income families. The programs can be provided at either neighborhood facilities or school facilities. This RFP is to solicit Organizations that provide these Services and evaluate their programs for potential City funding.
