2024 Building Demolition Hazmat Assessment

The City of Madison Engineering Division is soliciting bids for a Hazardous Materials Assessment (RFB #13106-0-2024-BG) covering five buildings located in Dane County, Wisconsin that are slated for demolition. The procurement requires a comprehensive hazardous materials assessment, including onsite inspections and detailed reporting on asbestos, lead, and other hazardous and regulated materials. Specific buildings include properties at 1901-1915 South Park St., 1810 South Park St., 814 North Ave., 810 West Badger Rd., and 818 West Badger Rd., constructed between 1940 and 1970. Required qualifications include lead inspectors licensed by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services, with bidders needing to provide expertise in testing both friable and non-friable asbestos materials and conducting surface lead testing. The non-mandatory site visit is scheduled for November 20, 2024, with bids due on December 6, 2024 at 2:00 PM CST. The City anticipates the assessment and report to be completed by January 30, 2025, with the contract to be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

Five vendors submitted bids, with KPH Environmental Corp presenting the lowest total bid at $11,680, followed by Environmental Management Consulting at $15,755. Advanced Health and Safety received a local vendor adjustment, reducing their total bid to $17,919. While no specific disadvantaged business enterprise (DBE) requirements were explicitly outlined, the bid summary indicates potential consideration for local vendors. The City reserves the right to award the contract in whole or in part and is not obligated to accept the lowest bid. Pricing must be all-inclusive and fixed, covering direct and indirect expenses including travel, telephone, and copying costs. Each property's assessment requires a breakdown of costs for asbestos, lead, and hazardous/regulated materials assessment, with special considerations for 818 W. Badger Rd., which will remain an active office during the assessment period. The total project budget appears to range between $11,680 and $41,000 based on the submitted bids.
