Buildings 679 and 683 were constructed in 1977 with the last time they were remodeled was in 1998. The flooring and cove base has reached its end of life and is in need of replacement. The 129th Civil Engineering Flight (129th CEF) requests a firm fixed price (FFP) contract to remove existing flooring and cove base, properly prepare the concrete slab, and install new carpet, composite tile flooring and cove base per manufacturer's instructions in portions of buildings B679 and B683 at the 129th Rescue Wing, Moffett Air National Guard Base, California.

In order to match the same design aesthetic with the existing facilities elsewhere on the installation and to effectively maintain a lower level inventory of the materials, certain brands and characteristics of the carpet, composite tile and cove base are specifically required for the project. The following are the only materials that will meet the Government's requirement:

• Carpet: Radiance Tile (style 59361), seaside elegance color 60530, 24 in x 24 in carpet tile, install with quarter turn pattern.

• Composite Tile: Forbo 2.0mm Marmoleum Composition Tile (MCT), concrete color 3136 or an equivalent product. Equivalency will be based on the following characteristics: minimum 2mm in thickness, minimum 12"x12" tile size which shall not be single-sheet style, glue-down installation, industrial/commercial grade for high traffic area, occupancy-ready factory finish tile.

• Cove base: Tarkett DuraCove 4” rubber traditional wallbase, toast color 283.

Market research conducted for this requirement has identified commercial, small business vendors who have the capability to complete the project. Products and services contemplated by this requirement are basic renovations to commercial office space. Materials and vendors to accomplish this work are readily available in the commercial marketplace.
