Columbus City Schools is seeking a vendor to perform floor tile patching and associated asbestos flooring removal. This service involves patching 1-100 tiles per job, with CCS providing materials. Vendors must be certified for asbestos removal in schools and may need to work after hours. The district also encourages participation from Local Economically Disadvantaged Enterprises (LEDE).
Columbus City Schools has around 50-100 floor tile patching jobs annually that have associated asbestos flooring removal as part of the repair. We're looking for a flat rate for patching between 1 and 100 12x12 tiles within a room or section of hallway. We'll need the vendor to inspect nearby tiles to ensure there are no loose ones in the vicinity and replace those as well. Please note many of these are 9x9 and 12x12 will be used for replacement, often requiring cutting. CCS will provide the floor tiles and glue to be used. Certification to legally perform asbestos removal in schools is required. If an area is greater than 100 sqft, then a second flat-rate charge may be billed. This work cannot take place while students are in session - after-hours work may be needed. All questions will be answered here on the Public Purchase website. The deadline for asking questions is close of business 7/9, and all answers will be made available by close of business 7/10. Work will be evaluated by CCS staff for performance standards. Columbus City Schools has established an Outreach Program to increase participation of businesses designated as Local Economically Disadvantaged Enterprises (LEDE). The Board of Education (BOE) has established an aspirational goal of 20% participation by business designated as LEDE. Vendors are strongly encouraged to use a good faith effort to support the BOE in achieving the Districts LEDE participation goals. Additional information can be obtained by reviewing the BOE Community Inclusion Policy 6400 or by contacting the Outreach Coordinator Duane Parks at outreachservices@columbus.k12.oh.us.

Columbus City Schools in Columbus, Ohio is using this solicitation to procure flooring work. Public buyers typically advertise this kind of work as an Invitation for Bids (IFB), Request for Proposals (RFP), or Request for Qualifications (RFQ), depending on whether the selection is price-driven, qualifications-driven, or both. Bidders responding to a flooring solicitation in Ohio are generally expected to provide proof of liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage, hold any state license or trade certification required for the scope of work, and post performance and payment bonds for contracts above the agency's threshold.
Contracts of this type are usually awarded under the issuing agency's published procurement rules, with bid bond, performance bond, and reference requirements set in the solicitation documents. PublicBidSearch indexes this solicitation alongside other open bids in Ohio so contractors and vendors can compare active opportunities by category, agency, or location without monitoring each procurement portal individually.
To submit a bid for this IFB, review the full solicitation documents for Columbus City Schools's exact scope of work, submission format, and any mandatory pre-bid meeting or site visit. Responses must be received before the July 14, 2026 deadline — public agencies routinely reject late submissions regardless of cause. Confirm how the agency accepts responses — through an electronic procurement portal, as a sealed hard-copy bid, or by email — because the required method varies by agency and a non-conforming submission can be disqualified. Direct questions about scope or specifications to outreachservices@columbus.k12.oh.us before the agency's question cut-off date. Vendors that have not previously contracted with Columbus City Schools should confirm whether registration on the agency's vendor system is required to be eligible for award.
