Recreation Center Gymnasium Floors Refinishing

The City of St. Petersburg, Florida, located in Pinellas County, is soliciting qualified contractors to provide gymnasium floor refinishing services for 11 recreation centers, encompassing 12 total gym floors. The procurement is an as-needed, ongoing service contract that requires contractors to perform comprehensive floor refinishing, including sanding existing surfaces, removing paint and finish, cleaning and preparing floors with Bona Sport Sealer, screening surfaces, applying floor lines, and refinishing with Bona All Court oil poly system. Vendors must demonstrate a minimum of three years of specialized experience in gymnasium floor refinishing and possess the capability to obtain required insurance coverage. The solicitation was released on April 4, 2024, with a deadline for questions on April 10, 2024, and proposal responses due by April 18, 2024, at 3:01 pm. The maintenance schedule indicates six floors require refinishing in 2024, with ongoing maintenance planned every other year. Evaluation criteria will focus on the lowest responsible and responsive vendor, with proposal responses remaining valid for 90 days after the submission deadline.

While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the contract requires vendors to meet comprehensive qualification standards, including passing background checks and maintaining specific insurance requirements. Insurance mandates include $1 million in commercial general liability, $1 million in commercial automobile liability, and workers' compensation as required by Florida law. The contract includes provisions for potential wood floor replacement (approximately 50 square feet) and allows for flexible, as-needed service issuance through individual purchase orders. The city reserves the right to extend the agreement for additional periods subject to mutual written agreement, with any price increases requiring written mutual consent and 30 days' notice prior to the current term's expiration. Though a specific contract value is not provided, the solicitation suggests a per-square-foot pricing model, and the ongoing nature of the contract implies potential multi-year engagement for the selected contractor across the city's recreation center network.
