UNH Dimond Library Carpet and Flooring Replacement

The University of New Hampshire’s Dimond Library requires complete interior carpet and flooring replacement across multiple reading rooms, balconies, and lobby areas. The work is to be performed in two phased windows to minimize disruption to library operations, with a base‑bid covering primary carpet‑tile installation and five priced alternates for rubber‑resilient flooring in specific rooms. Bidders must submit a base‑bid and alternate pricing, a statement of qualifications, a sub‑bid list, and required bonds and insurance. The contract will be a lump‑sum, USNH‑modified ConsensusDocs 200 agreement, with a $100,000 funding cap for Phase 1 (May 18–June 30 2026) and additional funding for Phase 2 (July 1–August 15 2026). Mandatory pre‑bid meeting on April 2, 2026, and a sealed‑bid deadline of April 16, 2026. • Replace existing carpet and install new carpet‑tile throughout designated library spaces. • Provide five optional alternates for homogeneous rubber flooring in specific rooms (approx. 730 sq ft, 930 sq ft, 640 sq ft, 5,450 sq ft, 300 sq ft). • Coordinate temporary relocation of patron furniture, dust‑control, and phased construction to keep library services operational. • Submit bid bond (≥5 % of base bid), performance and payment bonds (100 % of contract sum), and meet USNH insurance and de‑barment requirements.
