QUESTIONS

1.SAM.gov Registration
Is an active SAM.gov registration required to submit a bid for this project, or is registration only required prior to contract award? 2.Carpet Installation Locations
On the attached Administration Building Base + Layout Maps, should new carpet be installed in all highlighted areas, or is the scope limited to the 3rd Deck only? 3.Carpet Type
The provided carpet image does not indicate whether the specified product is broadloom (roll carpet) or carpet tile. Could you please confirm the desired carpet type? 1.Alternative Recommendation
We would like to recommend consideration of carpet tile in lieu of broadloom carpet due to its ease of maintenance, simplified future repairs, and reduced disruption when individual sections require replacement. Would carpet tile be considered an acceptable option if it meets the required performance and aesthetic criteria?
