Key technical specifications include a minimum 20 mil wear layer, FloorScore certification, and adherence to ASTM standards for smoke density and radiant flux. The scope encompasses surface preparation, moisture testing, the installation of transition strips and 4-inch wall bases, and the provision of 2% attic stock upon completion. Work must be finished within 120 calendar days from the notice to proceed, with liquidated damages set at 300 dollars per day for delays. Eligible bidders must possess a valid Hawaii C-21 Flooring license and demonstrate at least three years of commercial flooring experience. Submissions must be uploaded to the Public Purchase System by September 3, 2026, and must include a signed offer form, bid bond, bid breakdown, and a detailed proposal. The contract will be awarded to the lowest qualified and responsible bidder, with a 5% preference credit available for registered apprenticeship programs. Due to the nature of the facility, all personnel must pass a comprehensive criminal background check, including FBI fingerprinting. Additionally, contractors must comply with Hawaii state laws regarding the employment of a workforce consisting of at least 80% Hawaii residents and adhere to strict campaign contribution prohibitions.
