HASTINGS FORMER MIDDLE SCHOOL ASBESTOS CLEANUP GRANT

CITY OF HASTINGS

INTRODUCTION

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has awarded the City of Hastings a

Brownfields Grant to support the removal of asbestos in the Hastings Former Middle School

building. To support this cleanup work, the City of Hastings is procuring the services of a

qualified environmental professional (QEP). The proposed work includes finalization of the

Analysis of Brownfields Cleanup Alternatives (ABCA), development of the Quality Assurance

Project Plan (QAPP), development of the Health and Safety Plan (HASP), plan approval and

permitting submittals to the State of Nebraska, air monitoring and oversight during asbestos

removal, and final inspection along with final paperwork to close out the project. The QEP will

work under the direction of the City of Hastings staff associated with the project. Removal of

asbestos materials will allow for development of the property.

SITE DESCRIPTION

The property located at 714 W 5th Street, formerly known as Hastings Middle School, was

originally constructed in 1917; this property presents several significant challenges and

considerations regarding cleanup and remediation due to known contamination and its historical

use. An asbestos survey conducted in August 2009 identified numerous locations throughout the

building where asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) were present. Despite the passage of time

since this survey, it remains relevant due to the nature of asbestos and the building’s largely

undisturbed condition. The August 2009 survey is attached to this RFP.

SCOPE OF SERVICES

The QEP will perform the following services:

1. Assessment and Planning Activities

a. Finalize the draft ABCA attached to this RFP.

b. Prepare a QAPP for the project

c. Prepare a HASP for the site

d. Prepare and help submit all paperwork and permitting required by the State of

Nebraska

e. Provide documentation and deliverables required for EPA ACRES database

updates

f. Develop a cost estimate for asbestos abatement activities.

2. Remediation Oversight

a. Oversee asbestos abatement field activities.

b. Provide air monitoring as required.

c. Provide project management during abatement.

d. Provide final inspection.

e. Prepare and submit paperwork to close out project.

Note: If the successful bidder for QEP services is also the successful bidder for the abatement

work, the QEP will be required to hire a third party to perform item #2, Remediation Oversight.

SCHEDULE

• RFP submittals accepted until 5:00 pm on May 27, 2026

• Award of contract – June 8, 2026

• Preferred completion date for ABCA, QAPP & HASP – August 7, 2026

• Remediation Oversight – dependent on contractor schedule

It is anticipated that an abatement contract will be awarded no later than mid-September with

completion of the project by the end of 2026.
