RFP-NWCS-260000002003-1 | Asbestos Abatement

The solicitation RFP-NWCS-260000002003-1 seeks qualified contractors to perform comprehensive asbestos abatement services at Northwest High School located at 4200 Van Horn Road, Jackson, Michigan. The work requires full removal, containment, and safe disposal of asbestos-containing materials in strict accordance with published specifications, drawings, and applicable regulatory standards, though specific federal or state regulations such as OSHA or EPA NESHAP are not enumerated in the available documentation. All tasks must be completed by the contractor using their own labor, materials, and equipment, with performance expected to occur solely at the school site. Bids must be submitted in physical, sealed form to the Northwest Community Schools Boardroom by 2:00 p.m. on May 27, 2026, with electronic or fax submissions explicitly prohibited. A mandatory pre-bid walkthrough is scheduled for May 21, 2026, and all bids must remain valid for 60 days after submission. The contracting entity, Northwest Community Schools, a SLED agency in Michigan, reserves the right to reject any or all bids and may consider alternate proposals if the low bidder fails to meet specifications. Bidders are required to submit two complete copies of the official bid forms, a certified check or bid bond equal to five percent of the bid amount, a sworn and notarized affidavit disclosing any familial relationships with school board members or the superintendent, and a separate sworn and notarized affidavit certifying compliance with the Iran Economic Sanctions Act. For awards exceeding $50,000, the contractor must also provide both a performance bond and a labor and material payment bond. The project is classified as non-prevailing wage due to its funding source. While no formal contract type, estimated value, or detailed evaluation methodology is provided, the language suggests the award may be based on a best value trade-off rather than strictly lowest price, with the Board retaining discretion to evaluate bids under any criteria deemed in its best interest. No explicit payment office, accounting codes, invoicing system, or contracting officer representative information is included, and no FAR clauses, packaging requirements, or inspection criteria beyond compliance with contract documents are detailed. All submissions must be made in hard copy, with no electronic alternatives permitted.
