MPA 364 OE CARPET, TILE, WOOD, AND SIMILAR PRODUCTS INSTALLATION & RESTORATION

Solicitation OEV26006568 establishes an Open Enrollment Master Price Agreement (MPA) to create a list of licensed and qualified suppliers for the State of Rhode Island and its political subdivisions. The contract covers the furnishing, installation, and restoration of flooring products, including carpet, tile, wood, and similar materials, across various state-owned or leased facilities such as office buildings, group homes, and institutional facilities. Services include the removal and off-site disposal of existing materials, refinishing, and the installation of new products according to manufacturer specifications. The procurement is structured into three tiers: Tier 1 for comprehensive installation and restoration of all flooring types, Tier 2 for carpet and tile installation only, and Tier 3 for wood floor restoration only. To qualify for the vendor list, applicants must pass a series of gates, including registration with the Rhode Island Secretary of State and the Contractors Registration and Licensing Board, and a minimum of five years in business. Once the qualified vendor list is established, state agencies will utilize mini-bids to determine the lowest responsive offer for specific projects. Contractors must adhere to strict Rhode Island prevailing wage laws, maintain certified payroll records, and ensure that employees on projects exceeding 100,000 dollars hold an OSHA ten-hour construction safety certification. The proposal submission period is open from April 23, 2026, through June 30, 2030.
