PROJECT MANUAL Furniture

The Pueblo City-County Library District is seeking furniture procurement and installation services for the Lucero Branch Library located in Pueblo, Colorado. The project involves acquiring 192 distinct furniture items from multiple manufacturers, including 3Branch, Arcadia, Bernhardt Design, Encore, Enwork, and several others, to furnish children's, adult, teen, and staff areas. Vendors must provide comprehensive furniture solutions including activity panels, chairs, tables, ottomans, storage cabinets, power modules, and area rugs, with strict compliance requirements for California Technical Bulletin 117 fire safety standards and Proposition 65 regulations. The proposal submission deadline is March 6, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. Mountain Time, with a notice of award anticipated by April 3, 2025, and furniture installation targeted for the week of October 6, 2025. Evaluation criteria will likely focus on pricing, manufacturer certifications, technical data, installation capabilities, and adherence to specified design intent, with the owner reserving the right to selectively award contracts to multiple contractors.

The solicitation does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Vendors must provide a minimum one-year dealer warranty and be responsible for complete installation, including cable management and precise furniture positioning. The project allows for potential selective contract awards to multiple manufacturers, suggesting flexibility in vendor selection. While specific budget ranges are not directly stated, vendors are required to list total prices for delivered and installed items, with opportunities for potential cost-saving modifications that maintain the original design specifications. The procurement will cover furniture for various library spaces, indicating a comprehensive furnishing project with potential total value in the tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars, depending on the specific manufacturers and item selections. Successful vendors will need to demonstrate technical expertise, installation capabilities, and compliance with detailed project specifications.
