Asbestos Abatement Services

The Bergen County government authority in New Jersey is seeking a contractor to provide asbestos abatement services. The agency requires these services to safely manage and remove hazardous materials from its facilities while controlling associated disposal costs. The contract period will run for a duration of two years. The scope of work covers specific removal and demolition processes based on the asbestos status of the materials. The agency requires the removal of flooring over vinyl asbestos floor tile only when the flooring and its adhesive test negative for asbestos, and this process must not cause excessive damage to the underlying tile substrate. Contractors must remove suspended acoustical ceiling tile only after confirming the material does not contain asbestos. The agency also requires selective wall demolition of non-asbestos materials when necessary to access concealed asbestos-containing materials, such as thermal system insulation in wall cavities. Bidders must include all packaging, transportation, manifesting, and disposal fees within their disposal cost rates. The agency requires all work to be performed offsite, and eligibility is restricted to onshore entities located within the United States. The agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget and has not disclosed specific evaluation criteria or key dates in the project description.
