Provo City School District - Dixon Middle School Asbestos Abatement

Provo City School District's Department of Purchasing and Building Services is procuring asbestos abatement and removal services through a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Dixon Middle School located at 750 West 200 North, Provo, Utah. The scope of work includes removal of approximately 1,500 square feet of asbestos-containing ceiling tile, 12,149 square feet of vinyl flooring and mastic, and eight sink undercoats from various rooms throughout the facility. The selected contractor must furnish all labor, materials, equipment, supervision, and services necessary to complete the work in full compliance with EPA, OSHA, and all applicable regulatory requirements, including personal air monitoring, waste certification and disposal at in-state facilities, and site security. Required qualifications include possession of a valid Utah Business License and demonstrated experience with similar asbestos abatement projects. The evaluation process occurs in two stages: Stage 1 assesses technical criteria across three schedules (Company Profile and Subcontractors for 100 points, Past Projects Similar to This RFP for 150 points, and Proposed Project Timeline for 100 points), while Stage 2 evaluates cost proposals with the lowest bid receiving 100% of cost points. Critical dates include a mandatory bid walk on Thursday, February 5, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at the school's front entrance, with proposals due by Friday, February 13, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. through the Euna/Bonfire/U3P solicitation platform. The anticipated project commencement is Monday, April 1, 2026, with potential building occupancy in some sections continuing through May 30, 2026, and the contractor must propose a completion date subject to District approval.

The RFP contains no stated set-aside designations or restrictions limiting participation by disadvantaged enterprises or specific organizational types. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the procurement documents. Contractors are required to submit a 5% bid bond and, upon award, provide a 100% performance bond, as the project is anticipated to exceed $50,000. Insurance requirements mandate workers' compensation insurance at statutory limits, commercial general liability insurance of no less than $1,000,000 per occurrence and $3,000,000 aggregate, and commercial automobile liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence if vehicles are used. All costs associated with asbestos removal—including labor, materials, equipment, supervision, and regulatory compliance—must be included in the contractor's pricing. The District reserves the right to reject any or all proposals, waive minor irregularities, award to the technically qualified lower-cost offeror, or decline to award a contract, with a single contract award anticipated to the responsive and responsible vendor with the highest evaluation score as justified by the Utah Procurement Code.
