This contract provides comprehensive asbestos and lead‑based paint monitoring, inspection, testing, design, and reporting services for all Worcester Public Schools facilities on an as‑needed basis for a one‑year term, with the possibility of two additional one‑year renewals. The vendor must maintain Massachusetts Department of Labor Standards licenses for asbestos work, a Commonwealth lead‑paint inspector license, and an X‑ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzer license, and must supply qualified project monitors, designers, and inspectors.
