High School Cafeteria Floor Tile Replacement

Lincoln Park Public Schools in Wayne County, Michigan, is seeking bids for a high school cafeteria floor tile replacement project through an Invitation to Bid (ITB) released on April 3, 2019, with proposals due by April 29, 2019, at 11:30 A.M. The procurement requires a contractor with a minimum of five years' experience installing Tandus tile specifically in K-12 educational environments, who will be responsible for completely removing existing tile, preparing the floor surface, replacing base moldings, and creating smooth floor transitions. A mandatory pre-bid meeting was scheduled for April 17, 2019, at 2:00 p.m. at the high school, where contractors received a dimensioned floor plan and materials specification. The project must be completed no later than August 18, 2019, and bidders are required to submit a 5% bid bond or certified check, provide references from preferably K-12 school districts, and include sworn notarized statements regarding familial relationships and compliance with the Iran Economic Sanctions Act. Evaluation criteria include being the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with the school district reserving the right to reject any or all bids.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including $1,000,000 in commercial general liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage. While no incumbent vendor is identified, the bid requires detailed compliance with precise specifications, with any deviations needing to be clearly documented on the bid proposal form. Bid prices must comprehensively include all delivery charges, materials, supplies, labor, and debris removal. Contractors are also required to provide a three-year warranty on labor. Although a specific budget range is not disclosed, the procurement is focused on a targeted, specific scope of work for floor tile replacement in the high school cafeteria, suggesting a localized and potentially moderate-scale project investment.
