Hannah Hall Flooring Replacement

Texas Southern University's Procurement Services is seeking bids for the Hannah Hall Flooring Replacement project through Invitation to Bid (ITB) #717-25-721, which involves a comprehensive turnkey renovation of hallway flooring and stairwells in the main administration building. The project requires replacing approximately 16,502 square feet of flooring across three floors, specifically installing Armstrong 51830 cottage tan standard excelon imperial texture vinyl composition tile (VCT) 12" x 12", with an estimated requirement of 405 tile boxes. The bid mandates vendors submit one original, one copy, and a flash drive of their bid response, along with a comprehensive project completion timetable that addresses potential intrusions and daily foot traffic maintenance. The pre-submittal conference and walkthrough is scheduled for Tuesday, April 22, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. in Hannah Hall's first floor main lobby waiting area, with the final bid deadline set for 1:00 p.m. Central Time on Tuesday, May 6, 2025. The university will evaluate bids based on proposed costs, contractor stability, product quality, delivery terms, and past performance, with pricing and specification compliance being the most critical evaluation factors. Bidders must also submit a HUB Subcontracting Plan, and their pricing must remain firm for 90 days.

The procurement opportunity appears to have a specific focus on encouraging participation from Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUBs), as evidenced by the required HUB Subcontracting Plan. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated in the documentation, the project involves replacing flooring across three floors of a major administrative building, suggesting a substantial investment. Texas Southern University reserves the right to terminate the contract with 30 days' notice and potentially award to multiple vendors if deemed appropriate. The university's terms and conditions document indicates strict compliance requirements with state and federal laws, including regulations around antitrust, immigration, and ethical standards. Vendors must demonstrate comprehensive capabilities in flooring replacement, ability to manage complex institutional renovation projects, and capability to minimize disruption to ongoing university operations. The project's location in Harris County, Texas, and its association with a state university suggest potential opportunities for local and state-certified businesses to participate in the bidding process.
