Annual Contract - Asbestos and Lead Abatement

The Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, is establishing a qualified contractor list for asbestos and lead abatement services on an as-needed basis, with sealed qualification packages due August 10, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. The annual contract carries an initial not-to-exceed cumulative amount of $1 million over five years, with individual work orders generally anticipated to be less than $100,000, though larger orders are possible. Small Business Development Program requirements and local preference provisions apply to subsequent work order awards.

Contractors must hold a valid Florida-certified or registered general contractor's license for asbestos abatement services for a minimum of five years and current EPA certification for lead abatement at the time of application submission. Qualifications require a minimum of five years of relevant business experience and successfully completed construction projects totaling at least $100,000 in asbestos and lead abatement work per year for each of the past three years (2023, 2024, 2025). The County will evaluate financial stability, litigation history, and compliance with non-discrimination requirements.

Once contractors are qualified, the County will issue individual invitations for quotes and bids on specific projects. No bid security or public construction bond is required with the qualification package; bonding requirements for individual work orders will be specified in future solicitations. The County intends to maintain an open qualification process, allowing additional qualified contractors to be added at any time during the contract term.

A non-mandatory bidders' conference is scheduled for July 9, 2026, at 1:30 p.m. at the Palm Beach County Facilities Development and Operations Department, Capital Improvement Division, 2633 Vista Parkway, West Palm Beach, Florida. The project is funded with non-federal funds and identified as Project P-2026-000105.
