Mold Remediation Services

The County of Orange Sheriff-Coroner’s Department has issued a solicitation (IFB-060-2986801-AM) dated December 12, 2025, seeking bids for mold remediation services across its various facilities within Orange County, California. The contract requires as-needed inspection, testing, cleaning, repair, containment, and remediation of mold and other contaminants, performed in strict compliance with County standards, as well as all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations. Contractors must ensure thorough mold removal primarily through physical extraction, adhering to standards such as the EPA Mold Remediation Guidelines, ANSI/IICRC S520, and OSHA mold exposure protocols. Certifications including IICRC, EPA Lead-Safe, and OSHA/HAZWOPER are mandatory for personnel performing the services. Emergency response capabilities are required, with a defined response time of one hour and completion on-site within four hours when necessary. Detailed work reports, signed by County representatives, are required after each service, documenting equipment, procedures, and timestamps to ensure verification and compliance. This firm fixed fee contract will be awarded based on the lowest responsive and responsible bidder following the application of price preferences for County-certified small businesses and disabled veteran business enterprises. Evaluation focuses primarily on price with pass/fail criteria on other responsiveness and responsibility factors; no trade-offs are conducted between cost and non-cost factors. The solicitation mandates strict security and background screening for all contractor personnel before facility access, including fingerprint checks, valid California driving records, and ongoing clearance renewals. Personnel conduct is tightly regulated to prohibit inmate contact, substance use on-site, and unauthorized area access, with specific identification and escort requirements. Contractual risk management is reinforced by requiring performance bonds and labor/material payment bonds to ensure contractor compliance and protection of the County’s interests. The contract enforces a robust conflict-of-interest policy, background verification, and subcontractor disclosure procedures to preserve integrity and operational security throughout the term of performance, which occurs entirely within Orange County facilities under County jurisdiction. Bids must be submitted electronically by the deadline of December 30, 2025, through the County procurement portal.
