Asbestos Abatement

Fowlerville Community Schools has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for comprehensive asbestos abatement services targeting three district facilities: Fowlerville Junior High School, Little Glad Early Childhood Center, and Fowlerville High School. The procurement is designed to prepare these educational facilities for upcoming summer renovations, with a specific focus on complete asbestos removal. A mandatory pre-bid walkthrough is scheduled for March 5, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. at the Junior High School, which potential bidders must attend to be considered eligible. Sealed bid proposals must be hand-delivered or couriered to the district by 2:00 p.m. on March 12, 2025, with specifications and proposal forms available through Nova Environmental, Inc. in Ann Arbor. Technical questions can be directed to Carol May at (734) 478-4696, and bidders are required to submit a bid bond or certified check representing 5% of the contract value. All proposals must remain firm for 60 days, and bidders must provide familial disclosure in compliance with Michigan law and disclose any relationships with Iranian companies.

The solicitation appears to be open to environmental remediation contractors with specific expertise in asbestos abatement, though no explicit set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned. Bidders must demonstrate compliance with Michigan state legal requirements, including sworn and notarized disclosure statements. Fowlerville Community Schools reserves significant discretion in the procurement process, including the right to accept or reject any bid, award to a non-lowest bidder, and make awards in the district's best interest. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the requirement of a 5% bid bond suggests the project has substantial financial scope. The procurement prohibits oral, telephone, fax, or electronic mail bids, emphasizing strict formal submission requirements. Potential vendors should be prepared to provide comprehensive documentation of their qualifications, experience in educational facility asbestos removal, and ability to complete the work within the specified summer renovation timeframe.
