The Environmental Department require services to remove and dispose of the existing carpeting and 4” or 6” cove base and install new Shaw Quiet Cover Floating Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) and 5.25” millwork wall base in approximately 9,000 square feet of hospital space in various areas of the facility, as detailed in the Statement of Work and the Attached Diagram.

The specific tile and colors are currently in other areas of the facility and will continue to be used as standardization is required for maintenance stock and ease of repair.

Market research was completed on LVT flooring options available on the market, and this product was selected based on product integrity, quality, wide availability, and existing use at facility.
