Non-Slip Floor Coating Solutions RFI 92-20

The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) seeking non-slip floor coating solutions for various flooring surfaces found at its stations, garages, maintenance facilities, and other workspaces. The MBTA is interested in technologies and application methods that can improve the safety and traction of its flooring, which includes epoxy terrazzo tiles, concrete, and dense rubber. The RFI outlines specific details the MBTA is interested in, such as slip coefficient testing, adherence properties, maintenance requirements, and the ability to apply coatings to stairs, ramps, and sloped surfaces. Vendors are asked to provide company background, technical details, past project examples, cost estimates, and any other relevant information by the response deadline of July 30, 2020. The MBTA will not reimburse vendors for RFI response costs, and the pricing information provided will be non-binding.

This RFI is open to all vendors and does not have any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The MBTA is interested in understanding the available market solutions, and there are no listed incumbent vendors or current contractors. The RFI is part of the MBTA's effort to improve the safety and traction of its flooring surfaces, and the potential award values or budget ranges are not specified.
