Mandatory qualifications include being a Florida Licensed Business and holding a Florida Asbestos License, a Licensed Mold Assessor certification, NVLAP Certification, and Florida Department of Health Environmental Laboratory Certification (AIHA). Additionally, the contractor must own an in-house laboratory capable of rapid analysis, with biological testing facilities located within 25 miles of the Walter Pownal Service Center. The contract period is set to run from December 16, 2026, to December 15, 2027, with an option for one additional two-year renewal. Bids must be submitted electronically via the OpenGov Procurement portal by November 6, 2026, at 4:00 pm. Award selection will be based on the bid judged most beneficial to the District.
