DISCUSSION:
The buildings located at 16756 and 16766 Arrow Blvd were acquired by the City of Fontana in 2024. As part of the ongoing revitalization efforts for downtown Fontana, the structures will be demolished. The bidding process for 16756 and 16766 Arrow Blvd bid (PW-26-14-CC) was conducted by city staff in August of 2025. Two hundred eight (208) bidders were notified of the bid. Bid packets were downloaded by thirty-five (35) vendors. Seven (7) Fontana vendors were notified. No Fontana vendor responses were received. The bid closed on August 21, 2025, and the City received a total of seven (7) bids.
This item was originally presented to the City Council with a recommendation to award the contract to Demo Leaders Inc. of Woodland Hills, California. Following that recommendation, Demo Leaders Inc. formally withdrew its bid. As a result, staff recommends proceeding with an award to the second-lowest bidder, Interior Demolition of Newhall, California, which now constitutes the lowest responsive and responsible bidder eligible for contract award.
