Key Flooring Abatement

The Oak Park Schools Board of Education is seeking asbestos abatement services for Francis Scott Key Elementary School through a competitive sealed bid process. The procurement solicits qualified environmental contractors to perform comprehensive asbestos removal and remediation work at the school facility. A mandatory pre-bid walkthrough is scheduled for March 10, 2025, at 3:45 PM, which all potential bidders must attend to be considered eligible. Sealed bid proposals must be hand-delivered or couriered to the district's administration building by 2:00 PM on March 17, 2025. Bidders are required to submit a 5% bid bond or certified check and complete specific compliance documentation, including familial disclosure statements and Iranian company relationship disclosures. Bid specifications and proposal forms can be obtained from Nova Environmental, Inc. in Ann Arbor, Michigan, with technical questions directed to Andrew Kokoszka. The Board of Education reserves the right to accept or reject any bid, in whole or part, and to award the contract in a manner deemed most beneficial to the district.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the procurement documents. The bid does not indicate any incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure requirements for integration. Bidders must submit proposals on provided forms, and all bids will remain firm for 60 days, with performance and labor bonds required upon contract award. While a specific budget range was not disclosed, the procurement includes standard contractual provisions such as the potential to award to a bidder other than the lowest respondent. The evaluation will likely consider factors such as technical capability, compliance with bid specifications, financial stability, and overall value proposition. Interested contractors should carefully review all documentation and ensure complete adherence to the submission requirements and compliance standards outlined in the invitation to bid.
