• Technical specs require NSF 140 Gold certification, ≥12 % recycled content (roll) or ≥55 % (tile), moisture‑barrier, Class 1 radiant‑panel rating, static and flammability performance, and a non‑prorated lifetime warranty.
• Supplier must submit a paper bid (signed) plus a USB copy by Nov 16 2026 1:30 p.m., include firm discounts off list price (including freight), and meet mandatory product criteria.
• Evaluation: 60 % cost (discount) and 40 % product/warranty compliance; award to the lowest‑or‑best compliant bid.
