Years ago the City purchased Historic
Home #54 building (referred to as the
“Queen Anne”) that was located on a
hill behind the Hercules Powder Works
Club House Building for a dollar. The
City had a moving company cut the
building in half in order to transport
the building to its current location on
the City’s Corporation yard (near
Willett Street / Sycamore Avenue)
anticipating that it would be
incorporated into Duck Pond Park 1
block away. Duck Pond Park currently
contains a compacted pad with utilities
stubbed out next to the park’s parking
lot.
The City has not had the capacity to
carry out any project with the building
and wants to remove the structure. The
City is inviting interested parties to
submit proposals by November 1 that
would remove the building at no costs
to the City (potentially incorporating
other alternatives). Interested parties
will be able to tour the building on
October 27th and are asked to RSVP in
advance to Shiva Matinpour at 510 -
799-8244.
Proposals will be evaluated looking at
the greatest public benefit with the
least costs to the City with low risk
.level

All proposals need to outline the following:
1) Name and Contact information
2) What is being proposed to be done and how with timeline 3) Cost implications if any for the City
4) Provide a listing of any potential team members
5) Past relevant experience and capacity to carry out proposed task 6) Any relevant licenses, credentials, etc.
Note: The four steel girders under the house, fencing, and cribbing are not part of the removal as they belong to other parties and satisfactory insurance will need to be provided in the future.
