Asbestos Abatement and Removal Project-See Attachement

Central Lake Public Schools in Alger County, Michigan is issuing a Request for Proposal for asbestos abatement and removal services at its Middle School/High School facility, with proposals due by 1:00 p.m. on March 24, 2026. The project requires complete abatement and removal of the existing gymnasium membrane roofing system, flooring, adhesives, and associated materials including the roofing membrane, insulation, coping, cover boards, mastics, sealants, and fasteners, with full-depth abatement down to the roof deck performed in accordance with EPA and OSHA/MIOSHA guidelines. Qualified bidders must hold a current State of Michigan Asbestos Abatement License and must demonstrate asbestos-specific general liability insurance with a minimum combined single limit of $2,000,000 per occurrence, along with additional coverage for contractual liability, comprehensive automobile liability, and bodily and personal injury coverage. All work must follow proper abatement procedures including containment, wetting, and specialized disposal performed by licensed professionals, and bidders must submit two copies of their proposal with bid security of not less than 5% of the bid amount in the form of a cashier's check or bond, with separate line items for abatement costs and removal costs. Bidders may schedule site visits during normal business hours by contacting Dr. Ryan Cunningham, the Superintendent, and the District anticipates Board selection of a contractor on April 13, 2026, with work commencing on or before April 17, 2026, and final completion required by April 30, 2026. All costs including labor, materials, shipping, handling, permits, and applicable taxes must be included in the total bid price, and prevailing wage is required under Michigan law with bidders responsible for paying state prevailing wage rates for Antrim County and maintaining certified payroll records for a minimum of three years.

The RFP does not identify any specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, though prevailing wage requirements under Michigan law (MCL 408.1101 et seq.) apply to all contractors and subcontractors. Contractors must submit a Familial Relationship Disclosure (Attachment A), an Iran Economic Sanctions Certification (Attachment B), and an Affidavit for Asbestos Abatement Project disclosing any environmental violations or criminal convictions (Attachment C) as part of their proposal submission. The asbestos abatement project must be coordinated with the existing school building construction project managed by Moore Trosper Construction Company (Construction Manager) and French Associates, Inc. (Architect), and work must align with the CLPS BP1 schedule, which indicates broader renovation work at both the elementary and middle/high school facilities occurring from March 27, 2026, through August 24, 2026. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the RFP documents; however, the asbestos removal project is part of the larger Central Lake Public Schools 2025 Bond Program approved by the district and funded through state-issued bonds. The bidder is responsible for obtaining and paying for all permits, assessments, fees, and bonds necessary for project completion in accordance with the project's overall timeline and quality standards.
