2019 Summer Renovation Projects.

The Gibraltar School District is seeking proposals for asbestos removal services across three elementary schools: Chapman, Hunter, and Parsons, as part of its 2019 Summer Renovation Projects. The Request for Proposals (RFP) outlines a comprehensive asbestos abatement project involving the removal of various asbestos-containing materials, including floor tiles, carpet glue, door frame caulk, fire doors, transite fascia boards, and black mastic materials from specific locations within each school. Interested contractors must possess a current Michigan Asbestos Contractor License and submit a complete proposal package by 4:00 PM on May 6, 2019, including a bid bond or certified check for 5% of the total bid amount, proof of insurance, and completed bid proposal forms. The project is scheduled to commence on June 14, 2019, with a completion deadline of June 28, 2019. Contractors must provide comprehensive documentation, including certificates of insurance with specific coverage requirements: $2 million in comprehensive general liability, $1 million in automobile liability, and $1 million in umbrella coverage. PCM clearance testing will be required in accordance with AHERA/Michigan regulations, and all pricing must remain firm for 60 days from the bid opening.

While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned in the documentation, the project requires significant technical expertise and financial capacity. Bidders must submit unit pricing for potential additional asbestos-containing materials and demonstrate the capability to complete complex environmental remediation work within a tight two-week window. The project is being managed by Brumbaugh-Herrick, Inc., who will provide specifications to interested bidders. Although no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the requirement for substantial insurance coverage and the multi-school scope suggest this is a significant project with potential substantial value. The procurement is specifically focused on professional asbestos removal contractors with experience in school district renovation projects, indicating a need for specialized environmental remediation skills and compliance with strict educational facility renovation standards.
