2.0 Background

In January of 2026, an asbestos identification and testing contract was completed that confirmed the presence of asbestos in bunkhouses located on the Rio Grande National Forest. The Forest Service uses these bunkhouses for housing of seasonal and permanent employees. Due to the extensive use of some of these bunkhouses, there is a need to remove the asbestos-containing building materials in these facilities. This project will require the removal of the identified asbestos-containing materials in a manner consistent with all laws and regulations governing the removal of asbestos. Additionally, the project will require the replacement of the walls, flooring, ceilings, etc. with suitable building material, i.e., drywall and wood flooring, and then the painting of replaced ceilings and walls.
