Asbestos Abatement Services

The City of St. Petersburg has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB-25-295) for Asbestos Abatement Services within Pinellas County, Florida, seeking qualified vendors to provide comprehensive asbestos removal and related environmental remediation services on various structures. The procurement is structured as an as-needed, indefinite quantity contract with an initial three-year term and an option for one additional two-year renewal period. Vendors must demonstrate a minimum of two years specialized asbestos abatement experience, possess current licensing, EPA-accredited training certificates, and fully comply with Pinellas County, State of Florida, EPA, and OSHA regulations. The scope includes unit-priced services for removing various asbestos-containing materials such as vinyl floor tiles, popcorn ceiling material, transite siding, pipe insulation, and other contaminated materials, with pricing based on square foot measurements. Key deliverables require contractors to provide all necessary labor, equipment, disposal services, and comprehensive documentation, with an explicit requirement to respond to emergency situations and provide first-priority services during natural disasters. The solicitation was released on September 22, 2025, with questions due by September 26, 2025, and final responses required by October 9, 2025, at 3:00 pm.

The City has a specific preference to award either the primary or secondary contract to a City of St. Petersburg Certified Small Business Enterprise (SBE), contingent upon availability. The contract includes standard municipal protections with provisions for maintaining specific insurance coverages, including commercial general liability, automobile liability, workers' compensation, and pollution liability insurance. While no incumbent vendors are specified, the agreement allows the City flexibility to concurrently contract with multiple companies for similar services. The Base Agreement template indicates that a maximum annual price will be specified, with initial pricing remaining firm and potential future adjustments subject to mutual written agreement. The procurement does not specify a precise budget range, but the unit-based pricing model suggests flexibility for varying project scopes and sizes. Contractors must be prepared to integrate with existing city infrastructure and respond to environmental remediation needs across different municipal structures, with a comprehensive approach to asbestos management and removal.
