Asbestos Abatement at Lee State Park

The South Carolina Department of Parks, Recreation & Tourism (SCPRT) is seeking qualified providers for an asbestos abatement project at the Manager's Residence located at Lee State Park in Lexington County. The primary scope of work involves the comprehensive removal of approximately 3,296 square feet of friable and non-friable asbestos-containing materials from wall and ceiling sheetrock, along with the removal of non-asbestos materials including floor coverings, insulation, electrical components, plumbing fixtures, and HVAC systems. Contractors must be licensed and prepared to perform all aspects of the abatement, including proper disposal and environmental compliance with South Carolina Department of Environmental Services (SCDES) regulations. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for November 25, 2024, at 10:00 AM EST at Lee State Park, with bid submissions due by December 10, 2024, at 3:30 PM EST. The project award is expected to be announced on December 16, 2024, with all work to be completed within 30 days of receiving the purchase order. Evaluation will focus on selecting the lowest responsible and responsive bidder who meets all qualification requirements.

The solicitation includes preferences for South Carolina Resident Contractors (2% advantage) and South Carolina Resident Subcontractors (4% advantage), though no specific set-aside percentages are mandated. Contractors must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including Commercial General Liability with $1,000,000 per occurrence, Auto Liability with $1,000,000 limit, and Worker's Compensation as required by state law. All employees must undergo background checks, and work is to be conducted Monday through Friday between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM, with weekend work possible upon prior approval. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the project involves removing asbestos-containing materials from a 1,500 square foot residential building, which suggests a moderate-scale abatement effort. The contractor will be responsible for providing all necessary tools, materials, equipment, and labor, with all associated costs to be included in the bid pricing. No incumbent vendor information is provided, and no specific technology integration requirements are mentioned beyond standard asbestos abatement protocols and environmental regulations.
