20260929_Carpet_Replacement_Addendum_1.pdf

This addendum document pertains to the Melbourne Airport Authority's carpet and flooring replacement project at Melbourne Orlando International Airport in Florida. The scope of work encompasses removal and disposal of existing carpet from the concourse serving Gates 1-6, the sloped walkway at Gate 7, and areas extending past restrooms to the VIP lounge entrance and sterile area exit, with subsequent installation of charcoal-colored Obex Grid Millikin commercial carpet tile and vinyl or similar material in designated high-traffic areas. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for October 8 at 10:00 a.m. at the airport's 2nd Floor Conference Room, with sealed bids due November 5, 2026. Questions from bidders must be submitted by October 15 at 5:00 p.m., with approved alternates to the specified carpet material submitted only during the questions-and-answers period and incorporated via addendum. The addendum includes floorplans (2 pages) detailing the project areas.

Bidders must submit a 5% bid bond with their sealed bid, and the successful contractor must post a 100% performance bond prior to award. Pricing must be provided on a line-item basis covering materials, labor, carpet tile unit costs, installation hourly rates, and any additional repairs or equipment, with bid prices remaining firm for 90 calendar days after bid closing. All delivery, training, and specification compliance costs must be included in the bid price. The Authority will award to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder, with preference in case of tie scores given to bidders with drug-free workplace programs, followed by local bidders within Melbourne city limits, then Brevard County bidders. The contractor must maintain comprehensive general liability of $2 million, auto liability of $2 million, workers' compensation per Florida statute, fire insurance of $1 million, and umbrella liability of $2 million. Work must be coordinated during regular and night operating hours while maintaining passenger safety and minimizing disruptions, with gate closures coordinated by the Authority.
