2026-GA-01 Request for Proposals for Abandoned Building Demolition and Abatement

The Massachusetts Technology Collaborative has issued a Request for Proposals to solicit qualified contractors for the demolition and asbestos abatement of three abandoned buildings located on its Westborough campus, including structures listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The project involves the removal and disposal of approximately 2,500 cubic yards of asbestos-containing materials, including PACM and ACM, as well as thermal system insulation near steam tunnels. The scope also encompasses site restoration activities such as fill, grading, and site cleanup. Contractors must adhere to strict federal and state regulations governing asbestos removal, including licensing requirements for asbestos supervisors and workers, and coordinate with the Westborough Historical Commission for approval due to the historic status of the buildings. The project design emphasizes safety, regulatory compliance, and detailed abatement procedures, with site visits available by appointment and proposals due by October 10, 2025. The contract size is estimated between 500,000 and 2 million dollars, and the project aims to ensure thorough environmental remediation and site rehabilitation. Supporting documentation includes a comprehensive asbestos abatement plan detailing the scope of work, safety protocols, and regulatory standards, as well as a budget attachment template for prospective bidders to outline their financial proposals. The overall effort requires contractors to demonstrate experience in hazardous materials removal, demolition of historic structures, and adherence to environmental and safety regulations, ensuring the project aligns with the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative’s objectives for safe, compliant, and efficient site decontamination and demolition.
