From the notice
The U.S. Coast Guard Academy in New London, Connecticut, requires a qualified contractor to provide all labor, materials, equipment, supervision, transportation, and incidental services necessary to inspect, prepare, sand, refinish, cure, and clean Government-owned hardwood athletic basketball court flooring at Roland Hall Gymnasium, approximately 17,422 square feet and serviced annually, and Billard Hall Gymnasium, approximately 12,129 square feet and serviced bi-annually. Services shall include protection or reapplication of existing court markings as required, use of commercial-grade indoor athletic floor finishes, removal of Contractor-generated debris, compliance with applicable safety and facility requirements, and coordination with the Contracting Officers Representative to minimize disruption to Academy operations.
Excerpt from the agency's notice. Read the full text and attachments on SAM.gov.
What you'll need to bid
- A quote form. Usually the SF-1449 or SF-18, filled in and signed, with a price for each line.
- Active SAM.gov registration. Free from the government, and it must be active before award. It can take a few weeks, so start early (how to register).
- Acknowledgment of every amendment (SF-30). Missing one is the most common reason a good offer gets thrown out.
- Prices that respect the wage rules. Federal construction over $2,000 pays at least the Davis-Bacon rates in the attached wage determination.
- Past performance and a short technical write-up, if the notice asks for them (no past performance yet?).
- Bonds if the job is large. Federal construction over $150,000 needs payment and performance bonds, and often a bid bond (SF-24).
Always check the notice itself: the instructions in the solicitation win over any general rule.
