Re: Cattaraugus County Mobile Home Replacement Initiative, CDBG 199MH124-20

Cattaraugus Community Action is soliciting bids for asbestos testing per United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and New York State (NYS) requirements, as required prior to demolition and disposal of clients old mobile homes.

These projects entail mobile home replacements for 2 homes within Cattaraugus County.

Cattaraugus County is the recipient of this grant, and Cattaraugus Community Action (CCA) is the sub-recipient administering the program.

After all clients have been determined and properly qualified, the asbestos testing firm will be contacted to perform asbestos survey and sampling for testing. After testing the firm will be responsible to provide a report to CCA as per EPA/NYS regulations and format showing all testing data and results.

Testing will be requested for all units well in advance of construction in case any asbestos is found, so abatement can be bid and done prior to demolition.

Bidding Firms are required to carry liability insurance as well as workers compensation insurance, as well as any professional insurance required by EPA and or New York State to conduct asbestos testing activities. Bidding firms must also provide copies of all EPA and New York state licenses and accreditations with bid.
