Custom Furniture (FF&E) for the Technology & Health Building

Mt. San Antonio College is soliciting bids for custom furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E) for the new Technology & Health Building, a 273,000-square-foot four-story facility consolidating 10 departments and 26 academic programs, with proposals due September 15, 2026.

The scope encompasses design and fabrication of diverse furniture across all four floors: work tables in multiple dimensions and configurations (including ADA-compliant variants) with specified materials and power/wire management integration; custom reception counters with acrylic panels, plastic laminates, and solid surface finishes; specialty items including metal sheet racks, residential simulation lab beds, and custom wood tables with phenolic resin or maple surfaces; signage; and architectural woodwork. Specifications require detailed material composition (3Form Varia Ecoresin with minimum 40% pre-consumer recycled content and Greenguard certification; Wilsonart plastic laminates and solid surface countertops; high-pressure laminates on hardwood plywood cores), dimensional accuracy, ADA compliance where applicable, and compliance with fire safety standards (ASTM E 84 minimum Class B). Select items designate specific manufacturers as the basis of design — Formaspace Basix workbenches for WT2 tables, Bold + Furniture for WT4A/WT4B tables sourced through Edgewater Contract, and Cairns or equivalents for other specified pieces. Manufacturers must demonstrate two to five years of continuous experience and successful delivery on three to six comparable projects. Preinstallation conferences and site visits are required prior to bid submission; post-award mockups and shop-drawing approvals are mandatory. The design philosophy emphasizes flexibility, durability, ease of maintenance, and alignment with professional industry standards suitable for multicultural educational environments.

All contracts exceeding $25,000 require performance and payment bonds equal to 100 percent of contract value. Contractors must maintain workers' compensation insurance at statutory limits and commercial general liability and automobile liability insurance with limits of not less than one million dollars per occurrence, listing Mt. San Antonio College as additional insured. Compliance with California Labor Code prevailing wage requirements, DIR registration, and AHERA regulations is mandatory. A one-year warranty on workmanship and materials from completion applies; Formaspace-supplied items carry a 12-year manufacturer warranty covering fabricated components with one-year coverage for accessories. Mt. San Antonio College reserves the right to terminate without cause upon ten days' notice and may assess liquidated damages for missed completion dates.
