Asbestos Abatement - Central Elementary School

Linden Community Schools is seeking qualified contractors for an asbestos abatement project at Central Elementary School located at 7199 Silver Lake Road in Linden, Michigan. The procurement involves removing approximately 11,900 square feet of carpet over yellow carpet glue and black mastic, and 4,520 square feet of 12" x 12" floor tiles with yellow and black mastic. The project will be conducted in phases, with initial work scheduled during spring break (March 29 - April 6, 2025) and the remainder starting June 10, 2025 after the school year concludes. Bidders must submit a comprehensive proposal packet including a 5% bid bond, current Michigan Asbestos Abatement License, and substantial insurance coverage with minimum limits of $1,000,000 general liability, $500,000 workers' compensation, and $5,000,000 excess liability. The bid release was February 7, 2025, with a mandatory pre-bid meeting on February 17, 2025 at 11:00 AM, and final bids due on March 11, 2025 at 2:00 PM. Contractors must provide a detailed abatement work plan, project schedule, respiratory protection program, and demonstrate full compliance with federal and state asbestos abatement regulations including requirements from EPA, OSHA, Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity, and Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy.

The contract does not appear to have specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, and no incumbent vendors are mentioned in the documentation. The project is not tax-exempt and will not require prevailing wages. Bidders must submit additional documentation including qualifications, certifications, familial relationship disclosures, and Iran Economic Sanctions Act compliance statements. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive insurance and regulatory requirements suggest a potentially significant project investment. Contractors will need to demonstrate substantial technical capabilities, safety protocols, and regulatory compliance to be considered for the asbestos abatement work. The multi-phase approach indicates a complex project requiring precise scheduling and execution to minimize disruption to the school's operations.
