LSHC Floor Tile Repairs

The Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget issued Request for Proposal No. 18*2010 on March 30, 2018, for flooring installation services at the Lake Superior Hosting Center in Dimondale, Michigan, with proposals due by 12:00 p.m. Eastern on April 4, 2018. The procurement seeks a qualified contractor to replace Tate Access Flooring in five designated areas totaling approximately 856 square feet where devices have been removed from the raised floor area, specifically measuring 4 feet by 26 feet, two sections of 4 feet by 8 feet, 4 feet by 10 feet, and one field of 800 square feet. The contractor must furnish and install Tate Access Flooring with bolted stringer understructure, Con Core 1250 panels, and 1/16" anti-static HPL covering to match existing conditions, with no alternate products acceptable. The scope of work includes removal of existing panels and understructure, material supply, and labor for installation, with delivery and installation expected seven to ten weeks after purchase order award. Contractors must submit separate line-item pricing for materials and installation labor through the SIGMA VSS online system and complete the Vendor Questions Worksheet addressing company background, relevant experience, qualified disabled veteran status if applicable, and certifications regarding labor practices, tax compliance, and corporate citizenship. The State will evaluate proposals based on prior performance, economic impact to Michigan, total cost of ownership, and other specified factors, with contracts exceeding $500,000 requiring State Administrative Board approval.

The RFP documents do not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions on organization types, though disabled veteran status and Michigan economic impact are evaluation considerations. No incumbent contractor information or current vendor details are identified in the provided solicitation materials. Contractors must provide a detailed project plan within 30 calendar days of the effective date, including organizational charts and project breakdowns with assigned personnel; work is to be performed during normal business hours of Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. EST, with possible night and weekend hours as required. The contractor must establish a toll-free customer service number available from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. EST and provide technical support for repairs and maintenance during the same hours. Liquidated damages of $5,000 plus $100 per day apply for late or improper completion, and the State will not be liable for any costs incurred by bidders in the solicitation process. The specific award value or budget range is not disclosed in the available RFP documents, though proposals must address all project costs including one-time charges, setup fees, shipping and handling, and quick payment discount terms.
