The Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries is soliciting quotes for a carpet installation project at the Annisquam River Marine Fisheries Station located in Gloucester, MA. The procurement involves supplying and installing approximately 3,000 square feet of Milliken Sound of Color brand 1M by 1M carpet tiles in the office wing, with a specific color to be determined by the agency. A mandatory site visit is required before quote submission, and interested vendors must contact Brian Castonguay at 978-395-1244 to schedule an inspection. The project scope includes full substrate preparation according to manufacturer specifications, materials, adhesives, freight, and labor, with work to be completed during business hours using prevailing wage rates. Additional requirements include installing 6-inch Tarkett cove base, with vendors required to provide color samples. The solicitation (RFQ FAC98) was posted on March 4, 2025, with quotes due by March 19, 2025, covering the Essex County jurisdiction.

While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor types were explicitly mentioned in the documentation, the project appears to be a standard procurement opportunity for qualified commercial flooring contractors. The contract will require vendors to demonstrate expertise in commercial flooring installation, adherence to manufacturer specifications, and compliance with prevailing wage requirements. Although no specific budget range was detailed in the available documents, the project involves comprehensive flooring replacement for a state marine fisheries facility, suggesting a moderate-scale commercial installation. The procurement is specifically focused on the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries' office wing renovation, with an emphasis on precise preparation and professional installation meeting governmental and manufacturer standards. Vendors will need to demonstrate technical capability, provide accurate measurements during the mandatory site visit, and submit comprehensive quotes that include all associated materials, labor, and logistical considerations.
