Acoustical Wall Tiles and Installation for ACLC

Auburn University's Procurement and Business Services is conducting a Request for Bid (RFB) for Acoustical Wall Tiles and Installation at the ACLC facility, seeking sealed proposals for specific tile quantities and colors. The procurement requires 80 Hex Flat 13" x 15" Tangerine tiles, 73 Dark Green tiles, 69 Green Apple tiles, 76 Denim tiles, and 86 Azure tiles, all to be directly applied to walls with no substitutions permitted. The bid was opened on May 23, 2022, and will close on June 8, 2022, with all items to be delivered to the Facilities Division at 1161 W. Samford Ave., Auburn University. The solicitation includes a separate line item for installation and freight, with all items to be shipped to Mary Goocher in the Financial Services Department. Bid submissions will be conducted through the JAGGAER Sourcing Event Portal, with bid openings to be held via a public conference call. The university will evaluate bids based on standard state procurement requirements, including compliance with Alabama state sales tax laws and verification that bidders are not debarred or suspended.

The procurement emphasizes a commitment to small business and small disadvantaged business (SB & SDB) participation, requiring contractors to make concerted efforts to include such suppliers in contract performance. Payment terms are set at 0% with Net 30 conditions, and Auburn University reserves the right to award the contract in whole or part, potentially making multiple awards that best serve its interests. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the procurement involves multiple tile types and installation services. No incumbent vendors are mentioned in the available documentation. The university's procurement approach suggests an open competitive bidding process with flexibility in award determination. Potential bidders must demonstrate compliance with state procurement regulations, small business inclusion requirements, and provide comprehensive pricing for both materials and installation services.
