Sheet Vinyl Floor Replacement, Coroner’s Interior Upgrades

Thurston County's Central Services Department, Facilities Services Division, is soliciting sealed bids for sheet vinyl floor replacement and related interior work at the Coroner's Building, with a mandatory pre-bid meeting on November 4, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. and bids due November 20, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. The bid package calls the pre-bid meeting strongly encouraged for prime bidders but states that only contractors attending it will be considered qualified bidders, making attendance the operative eligibility filter. No set-asides are identified in this solicitation.

The scope covers removal and disposal of existing sheet vinyl, cove base, and wall guards; substrate preparation; and installation of new sheet vinyl with integral cove base, metal trim, floor transitions and thresholds, door protection, and wall guards. Crews must also move and reset furniture and equipment as necessary and complete debris removal and final cleanup. Work occurs in three areas: the Evidence Room, the Autopsy/Laundry/Scrub area, and Special Procedures Room 1. Installers must be qualified and experienced in commercial sheet vinyl with integral cove base, and the project includes security clearance and background screening requirements.

The engineering estimate is $25,000 to $35,000. Bid security equals 5 percent of the Base Bid. If the contract amount including Washington State Sales Tax exceeds $35,000, performance and labor/material payment bonds are required. At $35,000 or less, no bond is required if the contractor agrees in writing that the County may retain 10 percent of the contract amount for 60 calendar days. Substantial completion is required within 90 calendar days after Notice to Proceed. Prevailing wage applies under RCW 39.12. Bidders must be registered with the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries per RCW 18.27.020 and listed on the MRSC roster, and must hold an active UBI number, current Excise Tax registration, an Employment Security Department number, and industrial insurance coverage.
