Removal of asbestos-containing materials and lead-based paint

Lower Columbia College is seeking qualified abatement contractors to remove asbestos-containing materials and lead-based paint from a duplex located at 1954 Maple Street in Longview, Washington. The Request for Quote (RFQ) covers both units (1952 and 1954) and includes exterior components, with a comprehensive scope of work detailing specific abatement tasks. Key deliverables include removing approximately 311 sq. ft. of living room flooring containing 8% chrysotile, 61.75 sq. ft. of entryway flooring with tan floor tile and black mastic, a kitchen sink basin with black mastic undercoating, and sheetrock and joint compound in the garage. The solicitation is structured as an all-or-nothing bid, meaning partial submissions will be disqualified. The RFQ was issued on April 30, 2025, with quotes due by May 9, 2025, at 5:00 PM, and a project completion deadline of June 15, 2025. Contractors must be fully qualified for abatement services and prepared to handle the complete range of specified removal activities.

The procurement opportunity spans two Washington counties: Clark County and Cowlitz County, with no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on participating organizations mentioned in the available documentation. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the provided materials. The solicitation does not explicitly outline a specific budget range or award value for the abatement project. While the RFQ provides detailed photographic attachments (including floor plans and property images) to help contractors assess the scope of work, there are no noted requirements for disadvantaged enterprise participation or specific integration requirements with existing infrastructure. The primary qualification appears to be the contractor's ability to comprehensively complete all specified asbestos and lead-based paint removal tasks for both units of the duplex, demonstrating technical expertise in environmental abatement services.
