The procurement is an Invitation for Bids for as-needed asbestos abatement work, which may include removing and disposing of asbestos-containing vinyl composition tile, resilient sheet flooring, wall and ceiling textures, and related demolition and replacement activities. Key deliverables include comprehensive asbestos removal with proper disposal, adherence to safety protocols, and completion of work by November 29, 2023. Bidders must demonstrate relevant experience, capacity to manage multiple work sites, and proper licensing in Oregon. The bid evaluation will consider both contract price and the contractor's ability to perform required services, not solely the lowest bid.

A 5% bid guarantee is required, and successful contractors must provide performance and payment bonds or alternative financial assurances.

The contract includes Davis-Bacon wage requirements and Section 3 employment and contracting provisions, which may provide opportunities for disadvantaged or local businesses. The contract will be awarded on a not-to-exceed basis with no guaranteed minimum workload, and the contract term extends up to 730 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed. Contractors must be prepared to provide either a 100% performance and payment bond, separate 50% performance and payment bonds, a 20% cash escrow, a 25% irrevocable letter of credit, or a 10% irrevocable letter of credit with a monitoring and disbursement agreement. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the solicitation suggests flexibility in project scope and funding. The procurement appears open to qualified contractors with demonstrated expertise in asbestos abatement, emphasizing technical capability and compliance with regulatory requirements over specific business size or type restrictions.
