Asbestos Abatement Project Management

Greenville County is seeking qualified asbestos abatement consulting and project management services for the former Woodmont High School site, located in Piedmont, South Carolina. The procurement involves comprehensive project management for removing asbestos-containing materials from three specific buildings (F, E, and G) during a scheduled timeframe from March 10, 2025 to April 17, 2025. Work will be limited to Monday through Thursday, from 7:00 AM to 5:30 PM, with specific requirements including weekly project inspections, visual area assessments, contractor progress monitoring, and SCDHEC-licensed air sampling. Contractors must follow stringent OSHA, EPA, and SCDES regulations, utilize precise wet removal techniques, implement critical barrier installations, and maintain negative air pressure systems. The Request for Quotes (RFQ #25067) was released on February 14, 2025, with quotes due by March 3, 2025, at 2:00 pm, and the estimated project duration is approximately six weeks. Evaluation criteria will likely include contractor qualifications, such as licensing, medical examinations, respiratory protection expertise, prior asbestos removal experience, and adherence to waste disposal protocols.

The procurement does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors must provide a comprehensive insurance package, including $1,000,000 per occurrence comprehensive general liability coverage, $1,000,000 automobile liability coverage, and statutory worker's compensation insurance. Vendors are required to submit a COG Substitute W9 form, a Certificate of Insurance, and pricing using the provided pricing sheet, with the county to be named as an additional insured. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the pricing sheet allows bidders to calculate costs based on weekly inspections and air sampling, with a template for providing hourly rates and total project costs. The project involves precise technical requirements, such as air monitoring with clearance samples needing to measure less than 0.01 fibers per cubic centimeter, and financial penalties of $500 per day for schedule non-compliance. The ultimate goal is to prepare the former Woodmont High School site for potential low-income housing development by ensuring safe and comprehensive asbestos removal.
