RFP Asbestos Testing

The City of Spokane, Washington is requesting proposals for asbestos testing services for fire-impacted properties under RFP 6608-26, with proposals due September 1, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. and questions due August 21, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. The scope covers asbestos surveys conducted by AHERA-certified building inspectors using a 20-foot by 20-foot grid pattern with composite sampling and analysis by NVLAP-accredited laboratories, with reports provided to homeowners to support debris removal decisions.

Proposers must demonstrate three years of experience conducting asbestos surveys, maintain current listing on the L&I Asbestos Certification List, and hold Washington State business licensure. The contract term is one year, renewable for four additional one-year periods upon mutual agreement, with work expected to begin as soon as possible after contract signing.

Cost proposals must itemize costs per survey, excluding Washington state sales tax. The evaluation employs a 200-point scoring system: Technical Proposal (70 points), Management Proposal (60 points), and Cost Proposal (70 points). Reports must include property address, inspection date, inspector information, site description, suspect materials, survey methodology, sample results, recommendations, aerial maps, and laboratory certifications.

Proposals are submitted electronically through the ProcureWare procurement portal. The City reserves the right to award multiple contracts, conduct oral presentations with selected finalists, waive minor irregularities, or reject any or all proposals. The RFP is optional and non-exclusive use.
