Asbestos Remediation

Schoolcraft Community Schools is seeking qualified contractors for an asbestos remediation project at the Schoolcraft Lower Elementary School in Kalamazoo County, Michigan. The procurement is a sealed bid process for comprehensive asbestos removal services, specifically targeting approximately 15,559 square feet of 9"x9" floor tiles with mastic and 16 square feet of window and exterior caulking. Prospective bidders are required to provide all necessary labor, tools, equipment, and supervision to execute the remediation according to strict EPA and OSHA compliance standards. A mandatory site walk-through was scheduled for February 18, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM, with sealed bids due on February 24, 2025, at 9:00 AM. Contractors must submit a comprehensive bid package including a Performance Bond and Payment Bond, each covering 100% of the contract sum, and demonstrate proper licensing, worker training certifications, and expertise in asbestos abatement procedures. The project will require creating negative pressure enclosures, implementing precise waste disposal protocols, and coordinating with a third-party industrial hygienist for air quality monitoring.

The bid does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged business enterprises. Contractors must be licensed in Michigan and possess specialized qualifications in hazardous material remediation. While no incumbent vendor is mentioned, the project requires a contractor capable of executing complex environmental abatement procedures with minimal disruption to the school environment. The bid documents indicate that the owner will provide basic utilities like 110V electrical power and cold water, with the contractor responsible for additional utility needs. Although a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive technical specifications and bonding requirements suggest this is a substantial project requiring significant technical expertise and financial capacity. Interested contractors must submit sealed bids directly to Dr. Nate Ledlow, Superintendent of Schoolcraft Community Schools, with all communication and questions directed to Travis Noa of BDN Industrial Hygiene Consultants.
