Demolition of Residences John P. Taylor Apartments Buildings

THA is embarking on a comprehensive redevelopment of the existing Taylor Apartments sites located in downtown Troy, NY. Currently, the sites include two long-vacant public housing towers (Taylor 1 and 2), as well as two occupied RAD towers (Taylor 3 and 4). THA anticipates a phased redevelopment approach. The first phase of the project includes the redevelopment of the site that is currently occupied by Taylor Buildings 1 and 2. The site and existing buildings were developed in the early 1950’s, and have been vacant since 2005. Buildings 1 and 2 have a similar design and layout. Both are nine story reinforced concrete and brick buildings constructed on full basements designed in a “T” configuration. Building 2 differs in that it formerly housed the steam plant for the entire apartment complex and therefore has a sub-basement which houses the boilers. The proposed plan for phase 1 of the redevelopment project will entirely demolish the two existing structures including removal of all foundations and underground utilities. Specifically the selected responder will be required to remove all pile/pile caps to the elevation below proposed bottom of footings specified by Geotech in the report provided. THA is seeking a Respondent to carry out the demolition of these buildings, the removal, and disposal of any hazardous materials, and to collaborate with development team on the most cost-effective and expedient approach to the removal of the two residential towers. While buildout of the redevelopment project will eventually see the demolition of all existing Taylor Apartments buildings, Respondents should provide an assessment that only addresses the demolition of Buildings 1 and 2.
