2025 Carpet & Tile

The state and local contract opportunity is a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by the City of Wixom in Berrien County, Michigan, seeking a contractor to install carpet and tile flooring at the Wixom Community Center. The project requires furnishing all necessary labor, materials, and equipment to replace flooring in specific areas including the ballroom, two offices, vestibule, kitchen, and back hallway. Specific flooring materials are predetermined: Mohawk Group GT466 Adopt A Plan and Step in Style II carpets, and Armstrong Safety Zone VCT tile in Shale Gray. A mandatory pre-bid meeting and site walk-through is scheduled for August 14, 2025, at 9:00 am, with sealed bids due on August 28, 2025, by 10:00 am. Bidders must submit comprehensive documentation including a Qualifications Questionnaire, professional references, and proof of insurance coverage. Evaluation criteria will likely focus on technical capability, cost-effectiveness, and compliance with specifications. The contract is expected to be signed by September 30, 2025, with the selected contractor responsible for removing existing flooring, preparing surfaces, and installing new materials using manufacturer-approved adhesives.

The RFP does not explicitly mention set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors must provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including Workers' Compensation, Commercial General Liability, and Automobile Liability, with specific coverage limits. The contract includes a minimum two-year guarantee on workmanship and materials, with payment to be made 100% upon completion and acceptance of the Scope of Work. The City of Wixom reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to award the contract to the most advantageous bidder. While no specific budget range is listed in the available documentation, the scope of work suggests a mid-sized renovation project for a community center. The procurement process emphasizes quality, professional installation, and adherence to specified material requirements. Potential bidders should carefully review the complete RFP documentation and be prepared to demonstrate technical expertise in commercial flooring installation.
