Replacement Carpeting

The Community Development Authority (CDA) of Madison, Wisconsin, is seeking qualified contractors to replace carpeting in the lower level of the Village on Park property located at 2300 S. Park Street. This Request for Quotes (RFQ) requires comprehensive carpeting services, including field measurement, removal and disposal of existing carpeting, floor preparation, and installation of Shaw Change In Attitude commercial roll carpeting across approximately 13,627 square feet. The project also includes an optional scope to install luxury vinyl plank in specific areas and additional floor preparation such as filling holes, cracks, and applying moisture barrier underlayment. Interested contractors were required to submit statements of qualification and written quotes to Kris Koval via email by 4 p.m. on September 6, 2017, with a mandatory walkthrough scheduled for August 30 at 9:00 a.m. and alternative viewing dates available by appointment. The ideal project commencement was set for early October 2017, with contractors expected to provide their earliest start date and estimated completion timeline. Evaluation criteria appear to focus on comprehensive service capabilities, adherence to specifications, and ability to meet the project's technical and timeline requirements.

The contract requires contractors to be classified as independent contractors and comply with various legal and regulatory requirements, including non-discrimination provisions, affirmative action guidelines, and potential living wage and equal benefits standards for contracts exceeding specific monetary thresholds. Contractors must maintain substantial insurance coverage, including Commercial General Liability insurance of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence, Business Automobile Liability insurance of $1,000,000, statutory Workers' Compensation insurance, and Professional Liability insurance of $1,000,000. The contract term is not to exceed one month from execution, with potential extensions at the CDA's discretion. While no specific set-aside designations were mentioned, the comprehensive insurance and compliance requirements suggest a preference for established, professional contracting firms. Payment will be invoiced in full upon completion and acceptance of services by the CDA, with the contract price guaranteed as a maximum bid unless the scope of work is modified in writing. The total project value is not explicitly stated, but the extensive carpeting area and optional vinyl plank installation suggest a potentially significant investment in facility improvements.
