Little Rock Zoo - Administration Building Reflooring

The City of Little Rock is seeking a qualified vendor to provide floor resurfacing services for the Little Rock Zoo's Administration Building through an Invitation to Quote (ITQ). The project requires furnishing and installing Patcraft Timber Grove II LVT 20 mil flooring, with the main color "Mooreland 00568-V4" throughout the building, and an accent color "Indigo 00450-V2" in the conference room. Specific work includes demolition of existing VCT and carpet, removal of recessed floor mats, installation of rubber cove base and transition strips, and phased completion to accommodate zoo staff furniture moves. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for November 20, 2025, at 10:00 AM, with questions due by November 21, 2025, at 10:00 AM, and bid submissions closing on November 25, 2025, at 12:00 PM. Vendors must possess current Arkansas State Contractor Licensing, provide three references, and submit a one-year warranty on parts and labor. The contract will be awarded on an all-or-none basis to the lowest responsive and qualified bidder meeting all specified requirements.

The procurement opportunity encourages minority and women-owned business partnerships, as evidenced by the Affidavit of Joint Venture form that allows up to four parties to be identified in a joint venture structure. Vendors must comply with various certification requirements based on contract value, including non-boycott of Israel for contracts over $1,000 and non-boycott of energy, fossil fuel, firearms, and ammunition industries for contracts over $75,000. Out-of-state businesses without a physical presence in Arkansas are permitted to bid but must obtain a local business license if awarded the contract. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the contract includes an initial one-year term with the option to extend for up to six additional one-year increments by mutual agreement. Pricing must be submitted net in U.S. dollars, inclusive of all associated costs, and will remain valid for 90 days following the close date. Payment terms are net 30 days, with acceptable methods including purchasing cards, physical checks, and EFT/ACH.
