The Authority reserves the right to extend the date and time the bids are due at the sole discretion of the Authority when deemed to be in the best interest of the Authority.

The Authority is soliciting competitive bids from interested and qualified Bidders to provide services for this one-time project will include installing Sherwin-Williams Duraflex-brand epoxy using the Dur-A-Flex Poly-Crete SLB application over existing floor tile and cove base tile for twelve (12) non-public restrooms throughout the lower level of the Concourses at Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW). Only Duraflex SLB products will be accepted for this project. The project will also include the removal and replacement of all mirrors and partitions in the non-public restrooms with new ones.

All services to be provided or performed must be in full accordance with the requirements of the RFB and any agreement entered into with the Authority.

All questions and/or requests for clarifications for this project are to be submitted through OpenGov. Responses must be submitted in OpenGov, prior to the deadline for submission.

The Authority is not responsible for technology and/or any other issues that cause the RFB submission deadline to be missed.

Background

This project involves installing Sherwin-Williams Duraflex brand epoxy over the existing tile in non-public concourse restrooms. This process must leave a level, slip-resistant floor with no visible grout lines. This may require multiple coats of product to achieve the desired finish. The epoxy installation will include replacing damaged cove base tiles or profiled with a product to match the contour of the existing cove base. Some cove base tiles have been replaced with flat tiles due to matching tile color availability. These flat cove base tiles must be removed and replaced with a cove base tile that matches the existing profile. (Note: Vendor will supply the replacement tile, as needed. No color is necessary as it will be covered with epoxy.)

The non-public restrooms will be completed in pairs as identified in the RFB. Each pair of restrooms must be returned to service before another pair is taken out of service.

Before the epoxy work can begin, the restroom partitions must be fully removed and disposed of off-site. When the epoxy work is complete, the successful Bidder will purchase and install new stainless steel partitions. The new partitions will match the existing stainless steel partitions in the public area of the terminal building.
