Pre-Proposal Conference For Interested Lead Abatement Contractors Regarding Multiple Properties in Wyandotte County

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) is encouraging all interested, certified lead-abatement contractors to attend a pre-proposal conference Friday, Dec. 3, at 2:00 p.m., at the commission chambers in City Hall, 701 North 7th Street, Kansas City, KS.

Qualifying contractors will receive an Invitation For Bid (IFB) on multiple properties built before 1978 in Wyandotte County requiring lead abatement work.

Project Lead-Safe KCK staff will review all aspects of contractor qualifications, required work forms, property evaluations, submitting and opening bids, awarding contracts, scheduling lead hazard control work, doing the lead hazard control work, passing clearance tests, submitting invoices and receiving project payment.

Project Lead-Safe KCK is the result of a nearly $3 million Lead Hazard Control grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE). The project will provide lead abatement and testing services in 250 qualified housing units in Kansas City, KS, and provide training for lead abatement workers and supervisors.

For more information, contact Ron Green, project manager, 913-262-0796 or go to www.unleadedks.com.
