Hazardous Materials Assessment

HDR, on behalf of the Glenwood Redevelopment Corporation (GRC), is seeking a qualified firm to conduct a comprehensive hazardous materials assessment for the Glenwood Resource Center Campus Site in Iowa. The procurement involves two distinct service packages: Package 1 covers hazardous materials assessment for approximately 70 buildings and a tunnel system scheduled for demolition, while Package 2 is an optional scope for up to 16 buildings targeted for preservation and renovation. Specific deliverables include asbestos surveys, lead-based paint assessments, and hazardous building materials inventories across the 245-acre redevelopment site. The selected firm must complete Package 1 assessments and reports within 90 days of notice to proceed, with an anticipated project timeline involving an optional site visit on November 13, 2025, proposal submissions due by November 20, 2025, at 3:00 PM CT, and award notification expected on December 2, 2025. Evaluation will be conducted in two phases: qualifications and approach (65 points maximum) and sealed cost proposal (35 points maximum), with a combined final scoring of 100 points. Respondents must be registered with the State of Iowa, comply with federal, state, and local regulations, including OSHA requirements and USEPA standards for asbestos testing and laboratory analysis.

The solicitation does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types. The cost proposal must be submitted using a provided template following a "not-to-exceed cost for professional services" model, with services to be invoiced and compensated on a time and materials basis. For Package 1 estimating purposes, firms should anticipate collecting up to 4,700 asbestos samples from demolition-planned buildings and 7 samples from the tunnel section, plus direct expenses for temporary lighting and equipment rentals. Package 2 assumes up to 2,700 asbestos samples and 250 lead paint samples from renovation-targeted buildings. The selected firm will enter into a subconsultant agreement with HDR, and the primary contact for inquiries is Karl Wendt at Karl.Wendt@iowa.gov or +1 515-281-7073. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the detailed cost proposal template provides a structured approach for respondents to calculate and submit comprehensive fee estimates for the hazardous materials assessment services.
