Floor Replacement (Brighton)

The Seminole Tribe of Florida's Housing Department is seeking qualified contractors to perform floor replacement services for a residential property located at 16990 Rainbow Lane in the Brighton Reservation, Okeechobee, Florida. This Invitation to Bid (ITB-LD 113-2025) requires comprehensive floor renovation services, including removing existing tile floors, preparing concrete surfaces, installing new vinyl/laminate and tile flooring, and completing associated painting, trim, and finishing work. Contractors must conform to the 2023 Florida Building Code and demonstrate at least five years of experience in similar services. The project has strict timeline requirements, mandating commencement within 30 calendar days of receiving the purchase order and completion within 45 calendar days of the start date. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for September 25, 2025, at 11:00 AM ET, and electronic bid submissions are due by October 9, 2025, through BidNet Direct. Evaluation criteria will focus on contractor qualifications, performance history, pricing, and overall project capability. Bidders must provide comprehensive documentation, including a proposed project schedule, subcontractor list, and technical specifications for all renovation work.

The Seminole Tribe of Florida explicitly encourages bids from Seminole Tribal Member and STOFI (Seminole Tribe of Florida, Inc.) owned businesses, offering preference for such vendors within specific price margins. Contractors must maintain appropriate insurance and hold current certified licenses, with prime contractors and all subcontractors required to provide evidence of licensure to the Tribal Inspector's Department. No specific state license is required for this project, and no additional permits are needed beyond current liability insurance and workers' compensation (or proof of exemption). The bid has a maximum value under $75,000, making it a relatively modest procurement opportunity. Contractors must ensure that any work outside the primary contractor's scope is completed by a licensed subcontractor. The project will involve renovating a single residential property, with detailed specifications outlined in the Exhibit A - Schedule of Values, which requires itemized pricing for various construction elements including general conditions, supervision, cabinetry, floor tiles, vinyl/laminate flooring, and finishing tasks.
