Asbestos services

The state and local contracting opportunity is for the provision of asbestos services across multiple jurisdictions in the state of Texas, including Van Zandt County and several locations within the city of Houston. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) is the primary issuing agency, seeking vendors to provide a range of environmental services such as asbestos and lead consulting, air monitoring, survey and project management, as well as other compliance, remediation, and consulting services. The successful vendor must have available the necessary personnel, organization, and facilities to properly fulfill all the required services, including a designated Project Manager. Key qualifications include current Texas Department of State Health Services (TDSHS) licenses as an Asbestos Consultant, Asbestos Laboratory, Asbestos Project Manager, and Asbestos Air Monitoring Technician. The contract term is not specified, but may be renewable.

The contracting opportunity is set aside for Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUBs), requiring the prime contractor to make a good faith effort to include HUB subcontractors. While the pricing terms, incumbent vendors, and funding sources are not provided, the document indicates the contract is subject to the availability of state funds and may be terminated or cancelled at any time. The TDCJ reserves the right to make multiple contract awards or to not make an award if necessary.
