Asbestos Abatement

The San Felipe Del Rio Consolidated Independent School District (SFDRCISD) in Del Rio, Texas, issued Request for Proposal (RFP) 27-11 on February 24, 2026, seeking qualified vendors to provide district-wide asbestos abatement services on an as-needed basis through June 30, 2027, with potential automatic renewal through the 2028-2029 school year. The procurement encompasses the identification, removal, and proper disposal of asbestos-containing materials including floor tile and mastic, transite panels, HVAC vibration boots, sink dampers, cove base and mastic, window glaze, chalkboards, and pipe insulation across multiple district facilities. Vendors must submit pricing on a per-square-foot or per-linear-foot basis for each material type, with all labor, materials, transportation, and disposal fees included in the proposal; the district will not reimburse costs beyond the agreed-upon pricing. Eligible vendors must provide proof of insurance including general liability coverage of $1,000,000 per occurrence, automobile liability of $500,000, and statutory workers' compensation limits, and must submit a bid bond equal to 5 percent of the bid price at submission, with performance and payment bonds required if the contract exceeds $100,000. The district will evaluate all proposals using a 100-point scoring scale that weighs price (25 points), vendor availability for future issues (20 points), service and timeline (15 points), overall quality and value (15 points), suitability for purpose (15 points), and service history (10 points). The proposal submission deadline is 3:00 p.m. on Thursday, March 19, 2026, with electronic submissions required through the Bonfire portal, and the selected vendor or vendors are expected to commence work within twenty-four hours of award notification.

The procurement documents indicate no specific set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises, though vendors must comply with various federal and state certifications including debarment status verification, lobbying certifications, conflict of interest disclosures under Texas Local Government Code Chapter 176, and prohibitions against discrimination and boycotts of Israel and firearm entities for contractors with ten or more employees on contracts valued at $100,000 or more. All responsive vendors must submit completed forms including the Texas Ethics Commission Conflict of Interest Questionnaire (Form CIQ), IRS Form W-9, vendor information registration, professional references, Declaration of Compliance, Certification of Debarment, and Certification Regarding Lobbying. The RFP documents do not identify any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor do they specify an overall contract budget or award value range; however, the district is a tax-exempt entity and will remit payment net thirty days after acceptance of delivery. The district reserves the right to make awards to both a primary and secondary vendor at its sole discretion, and all renewal decisions beyond the initial contract term will be determined by the district based on its best interests without obligation to continue the relationship.
