The Ohio Department of Public Safety, specifically the Office of Facility Management, is seeking a contractor to replace carpeting at the Shipley Building located at 1970 W. Broad St in Columbus, Ohio. The project involves furnishing and installing approximately 59,750 square feet of Tandus Aftermath II Color Fleece 24x24 carpet tiles with quarter-turn installation on Flexaire cushion backing, covering both the first floor (13,288 sq. ft.) and fifth floor (46,435 sq. ft.). Key deliverables include complete carpet and wall base removal, installation of new carpet tiles and Johnsonite wall base (approximately 8,595 linear feet), furniture relocation, and providing 20% additional attic stock of carpet tiles. Work must be performed after 5 PM, Monday through Friday, with specific installation guidelines requiring manufacturer-recommended primer/sealer and adhesive, and carpet tile layout matching ceiling grid alignment. Electronic bids are due by May 23, 2025, at 10:00 am through the OhioBuys platform, with the project scheduled for implementation on 05-07-2025. The procurement includes specific requirements for EDGE (Encouraging Diversity, Growth, and Equity) participation, mandating a 5% EDGE business involvement for bids exceeding $50,000. Contractors must provide a valid BWC certificate, proof of participation in the BWC Drug Free Safety Program, liability insurance, and an EEO Certificate of Compliance. Prevailing wage rates apply for state projects over $75,000, with wage determinations valid from 04/16/2025 to 07/16/2025. Bidders must complete background checks for all employees and submit an electronic Bid Guaranty, with all required documentation to be submitted within three days of contract award. While no specific award value is explicitly stated, the comprehensive scope of work covering nearly 60,000 square feet of carpet replacement suggests a substantial project investment. Contractors will need to demonstrate expertise in large-scale commercial carpeting installation, ability to work within strict scheduling constraints, and compliance with state procurement regulations.
