About this opportunity
Cornell University is seeking sealed bids for a construction project involving asbestos abatement and floor tile replacement at two campus facilities: Rice Hall and Plant Virology Nematology, located at 340 Tower Road in Ithaca, New York. The project (SUCF Project No. 161031) requires comprehensive floor tile removal and replacement, including specific asbestos containment and abatement in first and second-floor areas of both buildings. Bidders must submit proposals by March 29, 2022, at 2:00 PM, with a mandatory pre-bid meeting scheduled for March 11, 2022, at 9:00 AM via Zoom, followed by a site walkthrough at 11:00 AM at the Rice Hall front entrance. Bid documents are available for a non-refundable fee of $49.00, and bidders must include a bid security (bid bond or certified check) representing 10% of the total bid amount. The project has a defined completion timeline of 120 calendar days from the owner's written Notice to Proceed. Interested contractors can access bid specifications through Cornell University's secure online purchasing site after establishing a user account.
The contract opportunity includes specific subcontracting goals for minority-owned (8.7%), women-owned (9.2%), and service-disabled veteran-owned (6.0%) businesses, though the overall procurement is not designated as a set-aside for these categories. The total project is located in Tompkins County, with an estimated contract value implied by the comprehensive renovation scope. Bidders will need specialized expertise in asbestos abatement, floor tile removal and replacement, and compliance with environmental and safety regulations. Questions regarding the bid can be directed to Facilities Contracts at 607-255-5343. While no incumbent vendor is mentioned, the project suggests a significant infrastructure improvement effort targeting critical campus facilities. The comprehensive nature of the work, involving multiple building areas and specialized abatement procedures, indicates a complex project requiring advanced technical capabilities and strict adherence to regulatory standards.
