Town of Tiverton - Flooring

The Town of Tiverton, Rhode Island, located in Newport County, is seeking qualified flooring and carpeting contractors through a Request for Proposal (RFP) to complete a comprehensive flooring renovation project for the town hall. The project involves complete removal and replacement of existing flooring in seven specific office areas: Town Clerk's Office, Town Administrator's Office, Tax Collector's Office, Building Official's Office, Planning Office, Treasurer's Office, and Town Council Chambers. Contractors must provide detailed proposals including company information, scope of work, cost breakdown, project timeline, insurance documentation, and warranties, with specific requirements for laminated flooring in the Town Administrator's office and proposed conference area, and carpeting in other areas. An informational meeting and walkthrough is scheduled for Wednesday, June 18, 2025, at 10:00 AM, with sealed bids due by 2:00 PM on the same day to the Office of the Town Clerk. The town is evaluating proposals based on comprehensive qualifications, with emphasis on recommended color schemes and designs that complement the existing town hall aesthetic, compliance with local, state, and federal laws, including ADA requirements and historic preservation guidelines.

The RFP does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The town reserves the right to reject any or all proposals and will award the contract to the most qualified and responsive bidder that best serves the municipality's interests. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the project requires careful integration with the existing town hall infrastructure and aesthetic. Contractors must provide brand-specific material recommendations, quality standards, and comprehensive warranties for the proposed flooring solutions. Although a specific budget range is not disclosed in the available documentation, prospective bidders should be prepared to provide competitive and detailed cost proposals that meet the town's comprehensive renovation requirements. The successful vendor will need to demonstrate technical expertise in flooring installation, understanding of municipal facility requirements, and ability to complete the project with minimal disruption to town hall operations.
