Radon Testing and Mitigation

Rockland County's Department of General Services is soliciting proposals for a comprehensive radon testing and mitigation contract under the HUD-funded Lead-Based Paint Hazard Control and Healthy Homes Program. The project involves conducting short-term radon testing in approximately 222 residential homes throughout Rockland County, with mandatory mitigation for any units testing at or above 4 picocuries per liter. Contractors must be credentialed by the National Radon Proficiency Program (NRPP) or National Radon Safety Board (NRSB), licensed in New York State, and hold a Rockland County Home Improvement Contractor license. The evaluation will use a 1,000-point scoring system, with 400 points for technical capabilities, 150 points for staffing qualifications, 100 points for project references, and 350 points for cost. A virtual pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for November 25, 2025, at 10:00am, with proposals due by December 18, 2025, at 3:00 pm, and the contract will span three years with options for two one-year renewals.

The county actively encourages submissions from certified Minority- and Women-Owned Business Enterprises (MWBE) and Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE), providing potential additional opportunities for diverse contractors. Funding for the testing and mitigation will come from Healthy Homes Supplement grant funding, with contractors required to prepare detailed reports following AARST/ANSI consensus standards. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the project involves testing 222 homes with potential mitigation services. Contractors must complete a comprehensive Statement of Required Disclosures, including non-collusion affidavits, political contribution disclosures, and compliance certifications for various state and county procurement policies. Additional requirements include providing valid insurance certificates, worker's compensation documentation, and adherence to federal contract provisions outlined in Appendix II to 2 CFR Part 200, which includes standards for equal opportunity, labor regulations, clean air and water compliance, and small business participation.
