CARPET AND FLOORING INSTALLATION

Oklahoma County is seeking competitive bids for a comprehensive carpet and flooring installation contract covering various commercial-grade flooring materials, including broadloom carpet, carpet tiles, laminate, ceramic, and luxury vinyl tile. The Invitation to Bid (ITB) was issued on October 2, 2025, with vendor questions due by October 8, 2025, and final bid responses required by October 22, 2025. The contract term will span from November 1, 2025, through October 31, 2026, with installation work to be performed after standard business hours to minimize facility disruption. Successful bidders must provide detailed pricing per square yard for flooring removal and installation services across different quantity ranges (0-1000, 1000-5000, and 5000+ square yards), and include comprehensive service offerings such as existing flooring removal, surface preparation, new material installation, and accessory provisions. Installers are required to offer a minimum one-year warranty on installation and must adhere to the Carpet and Rug Institute's installation specifications. The county reserves the right to compare awarded bid pricing against state-wide contracts and select the most advantageous vendor.

Bidders must demonstrate specific qualifications, including providing proof of surety bond, liability insurance, and workers' compensation coverage. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the solicitation, vendors will be evaluated based on comprehensive pricing, brand information, and ability to meet technical installation requirements. The procurement allows for open competition among qualified flooring installation contractors, with the county seeking cost-effective solutions for its facility maintenance needs. Installers will be responsible for working across various county facilities, suggesting potential for significant project volume. Although a specific budget range was not disclosed, the multi-tiered pricing structure for different quantity ranges indicates the county anticipates substantial flooring installation work throughout the contract period. Vendors will need to demonstrate competitive pricing, technical expertise, and the capacity to handle large-scale commercial flooring installation projects across different county facilities.
