Carpet and Installation Services

The Greenville County Sheriff's Office is seeking sealed bids for carpet and installation services for its Law Enforcement Center located at 4 McGee Street in Greenville, South Carolina. The project involves removing and disposing of existing carpet and installing approximately 16,000 square feet of Interface Open Air 404 Nickel carpet with a cove base on the facility's second floor. Specific deliverables include precise carpet tile installation in 50cm x 50cm sizes with no manufacturer substitutions allowed. The solicitation requires vendors to submit comprehensive qualifications, including company background, organizational charts, certifications, references, and a Certificate of Insurance. Evaluation will be conducted on a pass/fail basis across five criteria: responsiveness to the Invitation for Bid (IFB #25036), experience with similar projects, references, warranty, and cost. The mandatory pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for November 19, 2024, with proposal submissions due by December 17, 2024, at 3:00 pm. The County plans to review proposals from December 17-19, 2024, with a tentative award date of December 19, 2024, and contract negotiations to occur from December 19, 2024, to January 3, 2025.

The procurement does not explicitly detail set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though vendors must comply with various legal requirements including the Illegal Immigration Reform Act and Americans with Disabilities Act guidelines. Background checks will be required for all personnel working on-site, and the Sheriff's Office will be responsible for moving furniture during installation. While no incumbent vendor is specifically identified, the project requires strict adherence to technical specifications, including the use of Interface Open Air 404 Nickel carpet tiles. All personnel working on the project must meet regulatory compliance standards, and vendors must provide comprehensive insurance coverage. Though a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the sample construction agreement suggests potential financial parameters, including a 90-calendar day completion timeline and liquidated damages of $250 per calendar day for delays. The project will involve detailed coordination between the procurement services division and the Sheriff's Office to ensure smooth execution of the carpet replacement project.
