Request for Proposal for Epoxy Floor System

The City of Spartanburg is seeking proposals for an Epoxy Floor System installation at the Spartanburg Downtown Memorial Airport, involving a comprehensive floor rehabilitation project for an 18,750 square foot newly constructed facility. The procurement is a Request for Proposal (RFP) for professional engineering services focused on creating a high-performance epoxy coating system suitable for aircraft operations. Required work includes concrete preparation through grinding with 25 grit metals, crack and divot repair, applying a polyurea grout coat, shot blasting, installing a moisture vapor barrier primer, applying an epoxy body coat and high-wear urethane coating, and filling expansion joints to create a seamless floor. Proposers must submit five copies of their proposal by September 16, 2025, at 3:00 PM to the City of Spartanburg Procurement and Property Division. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for September 9, 2025, at 10:00 AM located at 800 Ammons Rd, Spartanburg, SC. Evaluation criteria will focus on business qualifications, including being an established epoxy floor system engineering company, having an Equal Opportunity Employment Program Plan, providing a detailed corporate file report, and demonstrating no ongoing litigation.

The RFP emphasizes equal opportunity and encourages participation from disadvantaged and women's business enterprises, specifically setting a 10% Minority/Women's Business Enterprise (M/WBE) participation goal. Proposers must demonstrate good faith efforts to achieve this participation target and comply with comprehensive insurance requirements, including automobile liability, commercial general liability, and workers' compensation coverage. The City reserves the right to reject any or all proposals and will not be liable for proposal preparation costs. The Airport Director will select the most qualified proposer based on meeting the airport's specific needs, with the final recommendation going to the City of Spartanburg. The successful proposer may commence the hangar rehabilitation project only after receiving written notice and completing a fully executed service agreement. While specific budget ranges were not explicitly stated in the documents, the project involves a significant infrastructure improvement for a newly constructed 18,750 square foot facility, suggesting a substantial investment in specialized flooring technology. The contract will be awarded based on qualitative factors and the proposer's ability to meet the technical and operational requirements of the airport facility.
