From the meeting
At its November 3, 2026 update, the Pelham School Committee was asked for guidance on asbestos- and PCB-containing materials at Pelham Elementary School affecting 18 door frames. The district had completed a full asbestos inspection for about $7,500 and received completed design specifications from ATLAS Technical Consultants plus two contractor proposals. Abide, LLC proposed full removal for $62,710, while Baystate Contracting Services proposed encapsulation for $37,500.
The committee's prior preference was removal, but FY27 funding and final scope were still open.

Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
