Q22000573 Mold Remediation - AMP 38

The Hawaii Public Housing Authority (HPHA) is seeking quotes for mold remediation services at the Hale Hoonanea apartment complex located in Eleele, Kauai, specific to Asset Management Unit 38. The procurement is a small purchase Request for Quotes (RFQ) focused on removing, disinfecting, and restoring two apartment units (Units 3L and 3R) to normal fungal ecology according to industry standards. Contractors must complete the entire scope of work within 7 business days of receiving the notice to proceed, which was anticipated to be October 19, 2021. A mandatory site inspection was scheduled for October 8, 2021, and quotes were due by 2:00 pm HST on October 14, 2021. Bidders are required to submit an all-inclusive price per unit, and if the quote exceeds $25,000, they must also provide a wage certification. Key qualifications include the ability to effectively remediate mold damage, replace damaged tile, and address water damage issues, particularly around a leaking shower valve. Evaluation will likely focus on comprehensive pricing, technical capability, and compliance with state wage and COVID-19 requirements.

The contract opportunity appears open to all qualified contractors, with no specific set-aside designations mentioned. Contractors must comply with several critical requirements, including paying employees wages consistent with public sector standards under Hawaii Revised Statutes Section 103-55 and adhering to strict COVID-19 protocols. All employees must be either fully vaccinated or submit to weekly testing, and contractors must provide documentation of employee vaccination status or negative test results. Contractors must also be prepared to immediately remove any employee who fails to comply with testing requirements or tests positive for COVID-19. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the scope suggests a project likely valued between $10,000 and $50,000. The contract will be awarded to the most responsive and responsible offeror meeting all technical and administrative requirements, with payment terms following state law allowing 30 days after receipt of a satisfactory invoice.
