Town Hall Mold Remediation

The Town of Crestone, Colorado is soliciting sealed bids under ITB 2026-01 for mold remediation at Crestone Town Hall, 108 W. Galena Avenue, with written questions due November 6, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. MT. A local business preference awards the contract to a bidder located or based in Saguache County if its bid is within 3% of the lowest responsible non-local bid.

Scope covers containment with environmental controls, removal and disposal of contaminated materials from the employee kitchen and crawlspace, a new crawlspace vapor barrier, whole-building HEPA vacuuming and antimicrobial cleaning, kitchen restoration with like-kind materials, HVAC inspection and cleaning to NADCA standards, and clearance coordination. Work must follow the Microbial Remediation Protocol prepared by Mold Test Company, dated May 7, 2026, and ANSI/IICRC S520, with the more stringent requirement prevailing in any conflict. The on-site supervisor must hold current IICRC Applied Microbial Remediation Technician certification or equivalent. The firm must have at least three years of mold remediation experience and three commercial or public-sector references from the last five years. The Town will separately engage a structural engineer and plumber to address moisture sources before remediation begins.

Required insurance includes $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate commercial general liability, $1 million combined single limit automobile liability, Colorado statutory workers' compensation, and $1 million per occurrence contractor's pollution liability, with the Town named as additional insured. Performance and payment bonds equal to 100% of the contract price are required if the price exceeds $50,000. Colorado labor must perform at least 80% of each type or class of labor unless a waiver is granted.

Pricing includes base bid line items A through L covering all labor, materials, equipment, permits, and disposal, three separately priced optional alternates for crawlspace dehumidification, encapsulation, and water management, and unit prices for additional work approved by written change order. The contractor guarantees clearance and warrants restoration workmanship for one year from completion. Award goes to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, approved by the Board of Trustees in an open meeting.

Site visits by appointment are available October 26 through November 6, 2026. Sealed bids are due November 13, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. MT via BidNet Direct or sealed mail, and the public bid opening follows the same day at 2:00 p.m. via video conference.
