The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) is seeking bids under solicitation number 8CA07759 for mold remediation and abatement services at the walk-in refrigerator within the Seed Lab Building at the Lewis A. Moran Reforestation Center in Yolo County, California. The contractor must provide all materials, labor, equipment, permits, transportation, and fees necessary to perform comprehensive mold remediation, including hazardous materials identification, containment setup using negative air pressure and HEPA filtration, removal of contaminated materials such as insulation and wood framing, and proper disposal in accordance with federal and state regulations. Work must comply with AHERA, Cal/OSHA, OSHA, EPA, AQMD, and IICRC S520 standards, and the contractor must hold valid California contractor licenses for both mold remediation (C-61/D-64) and asbestos abatement (C-22), as well as DIR registration. The contract has an estimated value of $25,000, focused solely on asbestos abatement, though other line items for hazardous materials survey, mobilization, and mold remediation are listed without pricing, indicating potential variable costs contingent upon site conditions.
