WA-FWS spring CRK asbestos abatement

The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service is seeking a contractor to remove and dispose of asbestos-containing ceiling tiles and install replacement ceiling tiles at the Spring Creek National Fish Hatchery in Underwood, Washington. This firm fixed-price construction contract (Solicitation No. 140FC326Q0001) requires the contractor to remove 168 square feet of asbestos ceiling tiles from the incubation room water laboratory within the Administration Building. Key qualifications include demonstrated experience in asbestos abatement work and the ability to comply with environmental regulations for asbestos waste disposal and Davis-Bacon wage requirements. The government will evaluate proposals based on three equally weighted factors: technical capability, past performance, and the contractor's ability to meet the specified work window. The proposal submission deadline is February 5, 2026, at 5:00 PM PST, with questions accepted until January 7, 2026; Amendment 0002, issued February 2, 2026, extended the original deadline and added clarifications regarding an asbestos testing report and drywall substrate specifications.

This solicitation is set aside for total small business participation. The contract value is estimated under $25,000 and includes a firm fixed price for all removal, disposal, and installation work. The period of performance runs from May 1, 2026, through July 31, 2026, with work constrained by seasonal and operational considerations at the fish hatchery. The project scope includes preparation of the work area, installation of negative pressure systems, proper disposal of asbestos waste at a licensed landfill, and post-removal monitoring to ensure no asbestos fibers remain. A pre-proposal site visit was scheduled for January 6, 2026, and attendance was strongly encouraged, with the government indicating that additional information would not be provided to non-attendees. Work will be performed at Spring Creek National Fish Hatchery, located at 61552 State Road 14 in Underwood, Washington.
