WCS - Central Services Flooring Replacement

Weldon City Schools is soliciting sealed proposals from qualified contractors to perform comprehensive flooring replacement services at Weldon Central Services (301 Mulberry Street, Weldon, NC 27890) through this Request for Proposal (RFP-440-51826-COF). The project encompasses approximately 8,500 square feet of flooring replacement in hallways, offices, and lobby areas, requiring removal of existing carpet and tile flooring and installation of new carpet tile and vinyl composite tile (VCT) materials that meet low-VOC and school environmental standards. Deliverables include subfloor inspection and repairs, baseboards, transitions, trim installation, moisture testing and mitigation, protection of adjacent surfaces, and final site restoration with daily cleanup. Qualified contractors must demonstrate a minimum of three years of commercial or institutional flooring experience and hold a valid North Carolina contractor license if applicable. Proposals must include itemized pricing broken down by materials, labor, and disposal costs; proof of general liability and workers' compensation insurance; at least three references from similar projects; and product specifications with warranty information. All work is warranted for one year from job acceptance, with unsuitable work to be repeated at no cost to the district. Sealed proposals are due by 4:00 PM EST on Monday, May 18, 2026, with a pre-bid meeting available upon request.

The RFP does not specify set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, or incumbent vendors. Contractors are responsible for securing all required Halifax County building permits with associated costs borne by the contractor. The district reserves the right to reject any or all proposals. No materials storage on the school site is permitted, and contractors must provide their own equipment, tools, and trash disposal services. The RFP does not disclose a specific budget or award value, though the scope and square footage suggest a mid-range commercial flooring project. Work must be completed according to a detailed project schedule to be coordinated with school administration to minimize disruption to the educational environment.
