Kitchen Floor Replacement

The Newaygo Public School District is procuring commercial flooring installation services for the kitchen area of Newaygo High School located at 200 East Street, Newaygo, Michigan through a Request for Bid (RFB) issued by Oceana County. The project scope includes furnishing and installation of Protect-All commercial flooring, carpet squares for office areas, and base molding, along with complete removal and disposal of existing carpet, vinyl composite tile (VCT), and base molding as designated on enclosed floor plans. Work deliverables encompass machine cleaning of concrete, substrate preparation compliant with ASTM standards, and installation by factory-trained installers with a minimum two-year warranty from the date of acceptance. Key requirements include HVAC operation for 7 days prior to installation and 8 days post-completion to meet environmental conditions, use of asbestos-free materials only, and submission of cost per square foot for leveling course, afternoon shift work costs, and total bid amount along with manufacturer's standard size samples showing the full range of colors, textures, and patterns. Sealed bids must be submitted to Kristin Melvin, Business Manager, at 360 S. Mill Street, PO Box 820, Newaygo, Michigan 49337 no later than 10:00 a.m. on May 12, 2020, with all bids remaining valid for a minimum of 90 days from the due date. Building inspections are available by appointment only by contacting Kristin Melvin at kmelvin@dmewaygo.net or 231-652-3799. The district reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to waive irregularities or clerical errors that do not affect substantial compliance with specifications.

For projects with bids of $50,000 or more, bonding is required, with bidders providing Labor and Material Payment and Performance bonds each equal to 100% of the proposed bid sum, issued by a surety authorized by the State of Michigan and listed on the current Federal Register or holding an A.M. Best rating of B+ or better. Contractors must provide proof of Workers' Compensation and General Liability insurance prior to award. The RFB does not identify any set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises, minority-owned businesses, or other restricted vendor categories, meaning the procurement appears open to all qualified bidders. No incumbent vendor or current contractor information is specified in the available documentation. The specific budget or award value is not disclosed in the procurement documents; however, the bonding requirement threshold of $50,000 suggests the project may approach or exceed that amount, making bonding a likely requirement for qualified bidders.
