Colorado 12/17/20, 7:00 PM 11/25/20, 2:00 AM Edison Floor Abatement
Colorado Springs School District 11 is seeking an asbestos abatement contractor for Edison Elementary School through a Request for Proposal (RFP) identified as solicitation #S2026-1000. The project involves comprehensive flooring removal in 17 classrooms and additional spaces, totaling approximately 14,485 square feet, which includes removing vinyl asbestos tile (VAT) and carpet. Contractors must be licensed asbestos abatement professionals with a minimum of 3 years of experience, fully compliant with federal, state, and local regulations. The project requires contractors to provide all labor, materials, equipment, protective gear, air monitoring, decontamination, and disposal services, with an independent industrial hygienist required to perform visual inspection and clearance air sampling. The project is scheduled in two phases: an initial phase beginning August 1, 2025, and a second phase during Fall Break from October 20-24, 2025, with full completion required by December 31, 2025. A mandatory pre-proposal site walk is scheduled for June 25, 2025, at 8:00 am, and proposals are due by July 3, 2025, at 2:00 PM Mountain Time through the Bidnet platform.
While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are explicitly stated in the documentation, the project is located in El Paso County within Colorado Springs City jurisdiction. The pricing structure includes line items for base scope, price per square foot for tile and carpet removal, and hygienist services. The school district is tax-exempt and will not pay federal or state taxes, though city sales tax will be applicable and must be documented by the contractor upon project completion. The documentation indicates the presence of asbestos-containing materials throughout the facility, including 9" x 9" floor tiles, pipe insulation, chalkboards, and mastic, which adds complexity to the abatement process. Contractors must exercise extreme caution and immediately contact the School District Environmental Service office if any suspect materials are encountered or accidentally disturbed. While no specific budget range is provided, the comprehensive nature of the project and the required specialized abatement services suggest a significant investment in facility improvement and safety remediation.
