Asbestos Surveys and Air Monitoring Services

Greenville County, located in South Carolina, is seeking sealed proposals for RFP #25098 to provide comprehensive asbestos surveys, reporting, and air monitoring services for its Code Compliance Division. The county requires a vendor to conduct surveys and monitoring for approximately 15-45 structures annually, with the initial contract term set for one year and potential for four additional annual renewals, starting July 1, 2025. Contractors must perform detailed asbestos surveys that identify asbestos-containing materials, provide condition assessments, and make recommendations for handling or removal while ensuring compliance with federal, state, and local regulations. The proposal evaluation will be based on six equally weighted criteria: responsiveness to the RFP, experience with similar public entities, project scope experience, key personnel qualifications, references, and cost. Proposals must be submitted electronically by April 28, 2025, at 3:00 pm through the county's online procurement portal, with a tentative award date of May 12, 2025. Vendors must demonstrate expertise in asbestos survey methodologies, including Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) sample analyses.

The county reserves the right to award the contract to one or more vendors and does not appear to have specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors must provide proof of various insurance coverages, including comprehensive general liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence, automobile liability insurance of $1,000,000, and statutory workers' compensation coverage. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the pricing table includes unit prices for various services such as total survey costs per structure, asbestos inspection, reporting, project design, and laboratory analysis. The contract includes provisions for air monitoring services priced separately for weekdays, weekends, and holidays, with specific rates for TEM clearance sampling. Payment terms indicate invoices will be processed within ten days, with undisputed amounts due upon receipt and considered past due after 30 days. The county's procurement approach suggests flexibility in vendor selection and a comprehensive approach to managing asbestos-related services across multiple structures.
