Asbestos Abatement - Piedmont Athletic Complex (Old Woodmont High School)

Greenville County is seeking proposals from qualified firms to conduct asbestos abatement at the former Woodmont High School site, located at 150 Woodmont School Road in Piedmont, South Carolina. The project involves removing asbestos-containing materials from three specific buildings (Buildings F, E, and G), including 9" and 12" floor tiles, mastic, and cement board under windows, in strict accordance with NESHAP and SCDES asbestos regulations. Contractors must be fully licensed, with a General Superintendent having at least five years of experience, and must provide comprehensive documentation of worker qualifications, medical examinations, and respiratory protection. The evaluation criteria will assess five key areas: responsiveness to solicitation, experience and past performance, pricing, schedule, and references, with each category weighted equally at 20% of the total score. A mandatory pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for February 18, 2025, at 10:30am, with electronic proposals due by February 28, 2025, at 3:00 pm through the county's online procurement portal. The county anticipates reviewing proposals from March 3-14, 2025, with a tentative award date of March 14, 2025, and a planned contract start date of March 28, 2025. The abatement work is to be conducted from Monday through Thursday, 7:00 AM to 5:30 PM, with a project completion deadline of April 17, 2025.

The solicitation does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors must provide performance and payment bonds equal to 100% of the contract price and maintain specific insurance coverages, including $1,000,000 in Comprehensive General Liability and Automobile Liability, and Statutory Worker's Compensation. The bid form requires a bid security of at least 5% of the base bid amount and includes a drug-free workplace certification requirement. Liquidated damages are set at $500 per calendar day for schedule non-compliance. While no specific budget range is directly stated in the documents, the project involves comprehensive asbestos removal services with potential additional tasks such as removing and disposing of interfering items in the buildings. The county reserves the right to reject any proposals and will consider factors including contractor integrity, reputation, experience, and past performance during the evaluation process. Successful contractors must be prepared to follow extensive safety protocols, maintain detailed documentation, and ensure proper containment, removal, and disposal of asbestos materials at an approved landfill.
