At a special meeting on June 9, 2026, the City of Wayne administration recommended awarding an emergency demolition contract for the dangerous commercial building at 35128 W. Michigan Ave. The building has been condemned since 2025 and declared an imminent threat to life and safety by the Building Official under Michigan Building Code and local ordinances.Three bids were received: Inner City Contracting (Detroit, MI) at 89000, McMillian Group, Inc. (Wayne, MI) at 85000, and Direct Construction Services (Detroit, MI) at 83000. Despite being the highest bidder, Inner City Contracting was recommended due to demonstrated expertise safely separating attached structures and managing complex urban demolitions, with a detailed scope including permits, fencing, traffic control, asbestos notifications, and air monitoring.This signal shows the City is actively funding hazard abatement and structural demolition using its General Fund/Building and Engineering budget, and is moving quickly under emergency authority. While the vendor selection for this specific building has effectively been made, the documentation reveals key contacts, preferred demolition practices, and the city’s willingness to pay for specialized capabilities, which is valuable for firms offering demolition, environmental abatement, structural engineering, or follow‑on site redevelopment services. Vendors can position for future nuisance property demolitions, asbestos/HAZMAT work, engineering assessments, and potential redevelopment planning on cleared sites along W.Michigan Avenue.

Funding source is General Fund/Building and Engineering; work includes traffic control and MDOT permitting and excludes asbestos/HAZMAT removal, which may require separate services.
