Kenosha County Brookside Care Center Flooring Replacement

Kenosha County, Wisconsin is seeking bids for a comprehensive flooring replacement project at the Brookside Care Center, located at 3506 Washington Road. The procurement involves replacing existing carpet with Shaw's 5th & Main style Symbiotic 30 mil vinyl plank flooring across multiple rehabilitation and patient rooms, specifically covering 28 Rehab rooms (254 sq. ft. each), 84 Long Term Care rooms (170.04 sq. ft. each), and 2 Long Term Care Private rooms (195.56 sq. ft. each). Contractors must be original manufacturers, distributors, or dealers authorized to sell and install flooring products, with a minimum of five years of experience in flooring replacement. The project requires gluing vinyl planks to concrete floors using manufacturer-approved adhesive and installing 6" Johnsonite vinyl cove base, with specific color requirements including 568 Sparrow for Rehab rooms and 7003 Cloves for other rooms. Key deadlines include a pre-bid conference on 4/29/2025 at 11:00 AM, vendor responsibility forms due by 5/16/2025 at 5:00 PM, and final bids due by 5/21/2025 at 1:00 PM, with the contract beginning immediately upon award and continuing until project completion.

While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned, the bid requires contractors to submit a 5% bid bond and maintain specific insurance coverages. Contractors must provide a one-year warranty for workmanship and materials, and the county will retain 5% of each payment until 50% project completion, with the potential to retain up to 10% if work is not proceeding satisfactorily. The procurement does not explicitly list incumbent vendors or specify integration requirements with existing infrastructure. Although a specific budget range is not provided, the comprehensive nature of the flooring replacement across multiple rooms suggests a substantial project value. Interested vendors must complete and submit the Vendor Responsibility Questionnaire, which requires extensive documentation about their business, including historical performance, financial capacity, and organizational details, to demonstrate eligibility for the contract.
