Briscoe School Floor Replacement Phase 2

The City of Ashland Department of Public Works is seeking qualified contractors for the Briscoe School Floor Replacement Phase 2 project (Project 2019-27c), which involves comprehensive flooring renovation at 265 N Main Street in Ashland, Oregon. The procurement is an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for removing and replacing approximately 8,600 square feet of existing flooring, including 8,100 square feet of vinyl composition tile (VCT) and 500 square feet of sheet vinyl. Contractors must be licensed asbestos abatement professionals capable of safely removing and disposing of existing flooring materials, with specific requirements including Oregon Construction Contractors Board licensing and appropriate asbestos certifications. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for February 27, 2025, at 9:00 AM at Briscoe School, with bid submissions due by 2:00 PM PST on March 18, 2025. The project timeline mandates completion between June 30 and August 29, 2025, with strict liquidated damages of $500 per day for delays beyond the specified end date. Bidders must provide a 10% bid bond and performance/payment bonds for the full contract amount, along with evidence of required insurance coverage.

The contract requires contractors to provide a 5-year manufacturer's no-dollar-limit (NDL) warranty and a 5-year workmanship warranty. Work will be performed in an occupied school facility, necessitating coordination with Oregon Child Development Coalition staff who lease the building. Coleman Creek Consulting will manage the asbestos abatement aspects of the project. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned, the project demands highly specialized capabilities in asbestos removal and flooring installation. The solicitation does not explicitly state a total project budget or award value, but the comprehensive requirements suggest a substantial investment in facility renovation. Contractors must demonstrate technical expertise, safety compliance, and the ability to work efficiently in a sensitive educational environment while minimizing disruption to ongoing school operations.
