(Atlantic) The Nishna Valley Family YMCA is inviting qualified demolition, salvage, and relocation contractors to submit proposals for four residential properties located at 1000, 1004, 1006, and 1008 Maple Street in Atlantic as part of the YMCA’s planned expansion.
The project involves clearing the properties and associated garages and outbuildings to prepare the site for future development. Contractors may submit proposals for one or more properties, allowing the YMCA to consider different approaches for each home.
Dan Haynes, Executive Director of the Nishna Valley Family YMCA, said this is an important step as they continue planning for the future of the YMCA and the services they provide to the community.
Proposals should outline the contractor’s understanding of the project and identify the specific properties included in their submission. Contractors should provide a detailed plan for each proposed option—demolition, salvage, or relocation—including proposed start and completion dates, methodology, and an itemized cost breakdown covering labor, materials, equipment, permits, fees, disposal, and other direct charges.
The scope of work includes, but isn’t limited to, obtaining necessary permits and approvals; disconnecting water, sewer, electric, and gas utilities; demolishing structures and properly disposing of debris; salvaging reusable materials or structural components; relocating and reassembling entire structures; restoring the site through basement filling, grading, and seeding; and documenting the process with before-and-after photographs.
Submissions must also include company contact information, relevant licenses and certifications, a list of similar completed projects with client references, proof of liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage, a safety plan, and sustainability practices for minimizing environmental impacts. Contractors must also describe how they will protect the public and neighboring properties while minimizing disruption to the neighborhood. All work must comply with applicable regulations, including those governing hazardous materials and waste disposal.
As a private nonprofit organization, the Nishna Valley Family YMCA reserves the right to accept or reject any or all proposals based on the organization’s needs.
The YMCA also welcomes proposals from contractors or individuals interested in donating all or a portion of their work as a tax-deductible contribution to the YMCA or the broader Vision Atlantic project. Potential naming opportunities within the YMCA facility may be available, and interested parties are encouraged to include this information in their proposals.
Proposals must be received by November 20, 2026. One signed original should be submitted to: Dan Haynes, Executive Director Nishna Valley Family YMCA 1100 Maple Street Atlantic, IA 50022
Questions regarding the request for proposals may be directed to Dan Haynes at dhaynes@nishnavalleyymca.com or by calling 712-243-3934.
