Harouch, 805-982-5054 SOURCES SOUGHT: Navy Department is seeking industry comments and ideas on proposed facilities services to provide total turnkey service including planning, installation, maintenance, and removal and/or reinstallation for carpet and modular office furniture. It is anticipated that separate contracts will be awarded for the carpet and modular office furniture. The term of the proposed contracts would be for a base year with four one- year options. However, a longer term consistent with the useful life and/or warranty of the products offered may be considered if it is more economical and contractually feasible given existing rules.

Used carpet must be recycled or reused at the end of the contract term. Similarly, the contractor would assist in planning new furniture configuration, dispose of old furniture in an environmentally efficient manner, furnish, install, repair, reconfigure, and replace modular office furniture as required throughout the contract term. All parts must be reused or recycled by the contractor at the end of the contract term. The goal of the proposed contracts is to provide full service support in an economical, environmentally efficient manner. Please send your written comments and ideas on the proposed concept to the address below. Provide a point of contact and telephone number if you would like to participate in developing this concept further.
