The North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality (NDDEQ) is soliciting bids for asbestos continuous air monitoring and final air clearance services at Selfridge High School, located at 210 2nd Avenue South in Selfridge, North Dakota. The procurement involves comprehensive air monitoring during asbestos abatement activities scheduled for June 16-20 and 23-27, 2025, with a contract period running from May 19 through July 31, 2025. The project specifically targets approximately 4,872 square feet of non-friable asbestos floor tile and mastic in the gymnasium, utilizing Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) method for air clearance. Bidders must be licensed Asbestos Abatement Project Monitors and are required to submit a detailed Sampling Analysis Plan by June 4, 2025. The bid response deadline is May 2, 2025, with mandatory on-site monitoring throughout the abatement process. Evaluation criteria will focus on the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, with the state reserving the right to reject any or all bids. Key deliverables include daily work logs, comprehensive air monitoring results, and a final report to be submitted by July 31, 2025.

The contract appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational types, though bidders must be registered in the federal System for Awards Management and cannot have active Notices of Violation or Administrative Consent Agreements with NDDEQ within the past year. The procurement documents indicate an intent to award the contract to Building Systems of North Dakota, suggesting they may be the preferred or incumbent vendor. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the pricing structure will be based on total costs for continuous air monitoring (estimated at 10 days), potential additional monitoring days, final air clearance for one containment area, and possible additional containment area clearances. The project is part of the Brownfields State Response Program and requires strict compliance with EPA, AHERA, OSHA, and NIOSH standards. Contractors must provide appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and maintain current certifications for all personnel involved in the asbestos monitoring and removal process. All sampling and reporting must adhere to NDDEQ bid requirements, with laboratories certified by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program.
