26048 - Task Order Contract for Nuisance Testing, Abatement & Controlled Demo Svcs

The Unified Government of Athens-Clarke County is requesting proposals for a task order contract providing asbestos and lead testing, nuisance abatement, controlled demolition services, soil clearance testing, and CDBG Voluntary Demolition program support to the Housing and Community Development Department, with proposals due October 20, 2026.

Vendors may propose on individual service components rather than all services, though preference is given to proposers offering multiple services. A current Athens-Clarke County Business License is required to submit proposals. No incumbent contractor currently holds this contract type. Some projects will be funded through Community Development Block Grant resources.

The contract term is one year with options to extend for four additional one-year periods by mutual agreement. Pricing will be evaluated on a task order basis, with costs submitted for specific projects rather than through fixed rates or a general rate schedule. For demolition pricing, bidders should base estimates on single-family, one-story, wood-framed structures with wood siding and asphalt shingles, and should calculate landscaping and fencing costs according to residential demolition standards and applicable code requirements.

Addendum I, posted September 15, 2026 (the same date as the initial solicitation), revised pricing schedules, evaluation criteria, and clarified that no pre-bid conference is scheduled. The addendum revised evaluation criteria to address concerns regarding firms without prior Athens-Clarke County work history. Prospective vendors must acknowledge receipt and understanding of Addendum I and all attachments, including the revised pricing schedule (Addendum I Attachment A) and Section IV modifications (Addendum I Attachment B), as part of their proposal submission.

Questions should be directed to Angie Perteet, Senior Buyer, at accbids@accgov.com.
