RFP’s

Location of project: Caribou Steam Plant ~ 142 Lower Lyndon Street ~ Caribou, Maine

Attached is the Request of Bids (RFB) to remove hazardous substances and/or petroleum products (HSPP) along with aboveground storage tanks (ASTs), transformers, and various types of HSPP-containing equipment in the Steam Plant.  We decided not to include removal of the 3 large transformers in this RFB since those transformers contain silicone oil (non-PCBs) and their removal from the building will have to be done concurrent with demolition.
