Mitigation Bid Requirements

​A Guide to Getting a Standards‑Based Mitigation Bid

​​This guide explains what homeowners should require during the bid‑development visit, what must be included in the written bid. Everything here is grounded in established science and U.S. EPA soil gas mitigation standards.

1. What Homeowners Should Require When Requesting a Mitigation Bid

• Require that a Certified Radon Mitigation Specialist (RMS) comes to the property in person to develop the bid.
•  Require the RMS to inspect the foundation and document conditions that affect system design.
•  Require the RMS to evaluate soil and sub-slab conditions as part of the bid process.
•  Require the RMS to conduct PFE testing before preparing the bid. A bid without PFE is not acceptable.
•  Require the RMS to identify and explain soil gas entry points and how the system will address them.
•  Require the RMS to explain routing options, fan placement, and discharge location before giving a price.
•  Require the RMS checks combustion appliances and explains any safety steps needed.

2. ​Requirements for the Written Bid

• ​The bid must include fan model, suction point count, pipe diameter, and system type, all based on diagnostics.
•  The bid must be a detailed written bid that includes a comprehensive system design based on diagnostic results, performance expectations, and warranty.
• The bid must include a post-mitigation CRM test performed by a certified Radon Measurement Field Technician (RMFT).
•  The bid must include information about the contractor's Utah contractor license, insurance, and certification in writing.
•  A radon mitigation bid is only valid if it is based on proper diagnostics performed by a qualified professional.
