Ejss-asbestos abatement project

East Jackson Community Schools is soliciting sealed bids for an asbestos abatement project at East Jackson Secondary School located at 1566 North Sutton Road in Jackson, Michigan. The procurement encompasses the complete removal of all asbestos-containing materials (ACM) including gym floor underlayment mastic (10,260 square feet), door and window system caulk (69.5 square feet across 28 systems), and window system glazing (69.5 square feet across 28 systems). Bidders must submit comprehensive proposals that include all labor, materials, equipment, permits, fees, and insurance necessary to complete the work, with unit prices provided for contingency items such as door/window caulk removal, glazing removal, fire door removal, floor tile removal, mastic removal, carpet removal, and mobilization. Qualified contractors must be licensed by the State of Michigan for asbestos removal activities and demonstrate prior experience on similar asbestos abatement projects with references from at least three previous clients. Required insurance includes comprehensive general liability coverage ($500,000 per occurrence and $1,000,000 aggregate), automobile liability insurance, excess liability coverage of $1,000,000, and workers' compensation insurance, along with a bid bond of at least five percent of the base bid amount. The project must commence on June 1, 2026, and be completed by June 19, 2026, with liquidated damages of $250 per day assessed for delays beyond the completion date. The work schedule consists of four-day workweeks with ten-hour workdays from 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and the gym flooring abatement requires two separate mobilizations due to phased work with bleacher relocation and new flooring installation between phases. Sealed bids are due by 3:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 30, 2026, at the East Jackson Administration Building, and a pre-bid meeting is scheduled for 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday, April 21, 2026, at the secondary school site.

This procurement contains no prevailing wage requirements and imposes no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on organization types eligible to respond; however, all bidders must submit a sworn and notarized familial disclosure statement and an affidavit of compliance with Michigan's Iran Economic Sanctions Act. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the solicitation documents. The contractor will be solely responsible for all additional costs if post-abatement air samples fail to meet required clearance levels, establishing a performance-based outcome requirement. An Addendum 1 to the specification has been issued, clarifying and modifying requirements based on bidder inquiries; all vendors must review and acknowledge receipt of this addendum and incorporate its terms into their proposals. The specific award value or budget range for this project has not been disclosed in the available solicitation materials.
