Asbestos Testing Section Buildings/Rest Areas

The North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) is seeking a vendor to conduct comprehensive asbestos and lead testing services for section buildings and rest areas across eight districts statewide. This Invitation to Bid (ITB) requires a qualified contractor with current North Dakota Department of Health Asbestos contractor licensure to collect bulk samples of asbestos and lead from buildings that have not yet been assessed. The primary deliverables include detailed written reports for each tested location, with contractors required to collect samples in strict compliance with EPA and North Dakota Health Department protocols. Samples must be analyzed by an accredited laboratory using EPA-approved methods, with testing covering districts in Bismarck, Valley City, Devils Lake, Minot, Dickinson, Grand Forks, Williston, and Fargo. The contract period is set from October 1, 2025, to September 31, 2026, with potential renewals for up to two additional 12-month periods, not exceeding a total of 36 months. The bid is due on September 17, 2025, and will be awarded on a per-district basis to the lowest bidder, with the possibility of multiple awards.

There are no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond to this solicitation. Bidders are expected to include fixed, all-inclusive travel rates and expenses within their district sample fee/bid. The contract requires pricing for asbestos samples, lead samples, and reports for each district, with payment structured as a single payment per building upon successful completion and acceptance of the written report. While no incumbent vendors are specified, the procurement suggests a systematic approach to identifying potential asbestos and lead hazards in NDDOT infrastructure. The bid response must include detailed pricing for sampling and reporting across all eight districts, indicating that the total contract value will depend on the number of buildings tested and the complexity of the sampling required. Interested vendors must demonstrate technical capability, proper licensure, and compliance with environmental testing standards to be considered for this contract opportunity.
