Abatement & Remediation Services

The Iowa Department of Administrative Services is requesting bids for abatement and remediation services covering lead, mold, and asbestos across state-owned and leased properties throughout Iowa, with bids due September 17, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. CDT. Bidders must hold current State of Iowa DIAL licenses for both asbestos and lead abatement, with certified project supervisors and workers on staff — the primary eligibility filter.

The scope encompasses removal, encapsulation, repair, and management of asbestos-containing materials and lead-based paint; survey reviews, containment, abatement, transport, and disposal; clearance testing and final documentation; and mold remediation services. Bidders must submit hourly rates for six service line items covering asbestos abatement, mold remediation, and lead abatement during normal business hours and non-business/weekend hours, with all hourly rates including specified disposable items and personal protective equipment. Bidders also must submit percentage markups for materials costs, subcontractor work, and equipment rentals, along with bond rates and disposal fees for friable and non-friable materials. A 1.00% administrative fee applies to quarterly net sales.

The contract commences November 1, 2026 and concludes October 31, 2027, with an option for renewal by mutual agreement for up to five additional years, for a total contract term not to exceed six years. DAS may award contracts to multiple bidders to ensure hazardous material abatement availability across all state locations. The resulting contract will be available for use by all State of Iowa agencies and eligible political subdivisions. The State of Iowa allows sixty days for payment per Iowa Code 8A.514, with optional discounts available for thirty-day payments. Bids opened August 26, 2026 at 8:00 a.m. CDT.
