The District School Board of Niagara (DSBN) hereby invites submissions from Contractors to pre-qualify to provide bids on Asbestos Abatement and Mould Remediation projects for the period beginning January 1, 2023 and ending December 31, 2025. Only the approved pre-qualified Asbestos Abatement and Mould Remediation Contractors will be eligible to submit bids in accordance with the various Capital projects. This pre-qualification applies to various projects which may be bid directly to the DSBN by Asbestos Contractors as well as work to be tendered to General Contractors as Sub-Contractors. Respondent(s) who have previously been qualified to provide the services described herein, or who are currently performing work for the DSBN must also respond to this request to be considered for future work assignments. Asbestos Abatement and Mould Remediation Contractors will be pre-qualified under two different categories based on project value: Category A - for projects less than $30,000 on a time and materials basis Category B - for projects estimated between $30,000 and $500,000 The DSBN shall pre-qualify Asbestos Abatement and Mould Remediation Contractors for one or both categories based on the Contractor's relevant experience and their references provided. Each Category is reviewed and selected individually. The following are representative of the services which may be required: Set-up of type 2 ceiling entries Type 1, 2 or 3 asbestos abatement Type 2 glovebag removal Type 2 encapsulation/ repair Mould remediation Lead pain abatement projects Pest remediation (such as bat guano, mice feces) This is not an all-inclusive list. Other types of repairs and services may be required. The DSBN will select approximately 3 Contractors to perform Category A projects and approximately 5 Contractors for Category B projects. Contractors may be selected for both or just one of the categories. For Category A projects, work will be assigned on a "best fit" basis subject to the availability of the Contractor to meet DSBN requirements. For the Category B projects, subsequent Request for Quotes or Tenders will be issued as work arises. The Contractor shall be required to move all furniture and objects to a predetermined location before and after asbestos abatement and cover any and all items that are not subject to this work, for the duration of the abatement process. The Contractor may be held responsible for any additional cleaning and/or remediation activities that are required, or suggested by a third-party consultant, if results of clearance testing conducted following any remediation activities are not satisfactory to the DSBN, or do not meet levels stipulated within Ontario Regulation 278/05. All work shall be performed according to the professional standards of the industry within compliance with Ontario Regulation 278/05 and to the complete satisfaction of the DSBN. Where the Contractor identifies unsafe or deficient conditions on a work site that should be rectified, they will advise the DSBN Facility Representative of the conditions and not assume responsibility to proceed with work that is outside of the scope of the initial project. DSBN Facility Representatives will conduct inspections of completed work. A report will be submitted to the Contractor outlining any deficiencies. Documented deficiencies shall be corrected within 48 hours by the Contractor. The Contractor may be required from time to time to provide a quote for work required which may not result in the work being awarded. The Contractor shall not invoice the DSBN for this service. The DSBN Facility Representative shall approve the use of any materials other than those specified by the DSBN. The Contractor may present alternatives and options to the DSBN for approval. The DSBN reserves the right to bypass this pre-qualified list and tender projects to different sets of contractors based on projects that have specific specialized requirements, or different contractual terms, or values.
