The city is looking for someone to knock down the old Bedford Street police station.

The city on Monday, Jan. 26, published a request for proposals to demolish the building at 158 Bedford St., which is currently uninhabitable and likely contaminated with asbestos and lead.

Fall River’s Purchasing Department will have solicitation packages for bidders available beginning Wednesday, Jan. 28; bids are due Feb. 26 at 2 p.m.

The move comes about a year after the building was deeded back to the city, after a developer was unable to remediate the property and turn it into market-rate apartments due to safety issues. For at least a decade, the building has been considered an eyesore overdue for the wrecking ball.
