School of Business Flooring Finishes Replacement

The State of Colorado and Alamosa County are seeking a contractor to complete a flooring replacement project at Adams State University's School of Business, located in Alamosa, Colorado. The procurement opportunity, identified as solicitation number 0000385111, involves removing and replacing approximately 13,000 square feet of existing commercial grade carpet in classrooms and staff offices, and installing luxury vinyl tile (LVT) in hallway corridors of a two-story academic building. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for May 1, 2025, at 11:00am, with quotes due by May 13, 2025, at 11:00am. The project has an anticipated contract start date of June 1, 2025, and will be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder, with potential consideration of deductible or additive alternates. Vendors must be registered in CORE, with the Colorado Secretary of State, and participate in the federal E-Verify program. Contractors will need to provide detailed documentation demonstrating their ability to meet the specific flooring requirements outlined in the attached product specification documents from Mohawk Group and J+J Flooring.

The procurement opportunity appears to have preferences for Colorado resident bidders and labor, with a bid security requirement of 5% for construction values of $50,000 or more. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned, vendors must comply with standard state procurement regulations. The project scope suggests a preference for flooring products with sustainability credentials, such as those with recycled content, low VOC emissions, and certifications like FloorScore and NSF/ANSI-140 Platinum. Though a specific budget range was not disclosed, the 13,000 square foot project indicates a substantial investment in university infrastructure improvements. The state reserves the right to reject any bids and cancel the solicitation if it determines such action is in the state's best interest. Pricing must be firm for the award term, FOB Destination, and include all associated costs, with the expectation that the selected contractor can provide high-performance, durable flooring solutions for an academic environment.
