Gym Floor Refinishing for Northfield Elementary and Black Fox Elementary

Murfreesboro City Schools is seeking sealed bids for a gym floor refinishing project at Northfield Elementary and Black Fox Elementary through Invitation to Bid (ITB) #2022-04. The procurement opportunity requires a comprehensive refinishing process that includes sanding floors down to bare wood, repairing damaged flooring, cleaning, applying specialized sports flooring paint, and adding school-specific logos. Contractors must be licensed to do business in Tennessee and maintain comprehensive general liability insurance with minimum limits of $500,000, along with automotive and workers' compensation insurance. A pre-bid meeting is scheduled for May 24th at 4:00 p.m., with site visits at Northfield Elementary followed immediately by Black Fox Elementary, though site measurements are recommended but not mandatory. Bid responses must be submitted electronically to the Murfreesboro City Schools Administrative Offices by May 31, 2022, at 2:00 p.m. CST, with a public bid opening to be conducted via Zoom. Bidders are required to complete several mandatory documents, including an Affidavit for Drug-Free Workplace, Criminal Background Compliance, and Iran Divestment Act certification.

The contract opportunity does not explicitly specify set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Successful bidders must provide an Employee Background Check and will be required to post a performance bond if awarded the contract. Murfreesboro City Schools reserves the right to reject any or all bids, waive informalities, and select the bid deemed most favorable, with the option to not approve work at a specific location. While no specific budget range is detailed in the provided documents, the scope suggests a localized school district project for two elementary school gymnasium floors. Contractors will be responsible for supplying all necessary equipment and tools, and must ensure workplace safety throughout the refinishing process. The bid remains valid for a minimum of 60 days, and the city schools will evaluate proposals based on best value, potentially allowing for splitting awards or adjusting contract quantities as needed.
