Rationale:
AHERA is the federal Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act of 1986 delineating asbestos management in public schools is defined. RFP-390 for the completion of the EPA and SED mandated 2019 Triennial AHERA asbestos re-inspections & report was issued on November 9, 2018. Responses were received from 4 firms on November 23, 2018. As result of the examination of the responses it was determined that Liro Engineers, Inc. would be the best firm suited for this project and had the lowest priced proposal. The term of the contract will be for one year. SED filing is due in September 2019.

Liro Engineers, Inc. has won this contract in the past and has performed acceptably. The 2016 AHERA Re-inspection was awarded for $113,640.00. This year the contract is $38,630.00 more than the previous contract. The increase is due to an increase in the basic services that require the consultant to not only document deficiencies in the Asbestos Management Plan but to include bid documents for issuance by purchasing to hire the contractors to correct them.
