Carpet Removal, Purchase, and Installation Services

The Maryland Comptroller's Office, specifically the Legal Division located in the Revenue Administration Center Building in Annapolis, is soliciting bids for comprehensive Carpet Removal, Purchase, and Installation Services. The procurement requires a vendor to remove and dispose of existing carpet, patch and prepare concrete flooring, and install Milliken Comfort Plus 36" x 36" modular carpet tiles in Room 105C, utilizing the Coir Collection Pattern Coir Palm in color 302 Blue Moon. Key deliverables include complete carpet removal, floor preparation, precise tile installation, raising furniture to install carpet underneath, and installing new vinyl base, reducer strips, and transition moldings. Bidders must provide Milliken's installation instructions with their submission and obtain security badges for site access. The procurement follows a mandatory walk-through held on January 10, 2024, with bid submissions due by 2:00 pm local time on January 24, 2024. The project is anticipated to be completed by February 12, 2024, with the contract awarded to the lowest total bid price. The state will conduct a control check to verify the bidder's standing before making an award recommendation.

There are no specific set-aside designations mentioned in the procurement documents, and no mandatory minority business enterprise (MBE) requirements were identified. The solicitation appears open to all qualified vendors capable of meeting the technical specifications and installation requirements. The Comptroller will remove most furniture prior to installation, though some items may remain on-site. Vendors are responsible for obtaining their own security clearances, with a $15 fee for contractor ID badges. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the procurement suggests this is a one-time, project-specific contract for the Legal Division's office renovation. The State of Maryland is sales tax exempt and will remit payment within 30 days of receiving an approved invoice. Eight additional carpet tiles and black paint for the metal base must be provided as part of the contract. The solicitation requires vendors to include all costs in their bid price, with no provisions for additional compensation beyond the submitted total bid amount.
