Floor covering various classrooms, offices, and hallways RFP

Bridgman Public Schools is seeking a contractor to replace floor coverings in various classrooms, offices, and hallways through a Request for Proposal (RFP) process. The project encompasses removing existing vinyl flooring, base, and transition strips, and installing new Armstrong Standard Excelon Vinyl Composition Tile (VCT) across eight areas totaling approximately 9,645 square feet. Specific requirements include Pearl White 51803 color tiles, 12 inches by 12 inches by 1/8 inch thick, with brown rubber cove base and transition strips. The work is scheduled to be completed between June 2 and June 30, 2025, with sealed bids due on April 18, 2025, at 9:00 AM EST at Bridgman High School. Bidders must submit comprehensive unit pricing per square yard, which includes tear-up, disposal, floor preparation, adhesives, flooring, vinyl base, and vinyl reducers. The proposal requires extensive documentation, including familial relationship disclosure, Iran Economic Sanctions Act affidavit, debarment certification, and a conflict of interest form. Contractors must provide proof of insurance and potentially secure a performance bond if the project exceeds $50,000.

While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are explicitly mentioned, the bid process demands significant documentation and professional qualifications. The contractor must guarantee workmanship for one year and will receive full payment within 45 days of completing all work, including punch-listed items. The owner will be responsible for moving furniture, and the contractor must leave 5% of each VCT color for the owner's stock. Although the exact budget range is not specified, the comprehensive requirements suggest a substantial project scope. Potential bidders are strongly encouraged to perform an on-site inspection prior to submitting their proposal. The procurement is specifically for Bridgman Public Schools, located in Berrien County, Michigan, and the contract opportunity was posted on April 3, 2025, with a closing date of April 18, 2025.
