AWARD OF BID:

INSTALLATION OF CARPET AND VINYL TILE IN COMMUNITY CENTER ROOMS, CITY OFFICES

AND CLARK BUILDING

Recommendation

Staff recommends that Council:

1. Award bid for carpeting and vinyl for the facilities listed below for a total award of $6,838.92 to A Touch of Carpet.
   
2. Authorize the Public Works Director to sign a contract for work performance.

Background

The replacement of carpeting in the Community Center has been deferred for several years and requires replacement. In order to meet program objectives, Community Resources staff requested that one of the meeting rooms be floored in vinyl tile (so that it can be used for arts and crafts etc.).

On May 12, 1999, staff sent proposals to seven (7) companies, requesting the following:

1. Carpet for Room 4.
2. Carpet for Room 12.
3. Carpet for Theater Box Office and Hallway.
4. Carpet for City offices.
5. Carpet for the Library area in Clark Building.
6. Carpet for meeting Room in Clark Building.
7. Vinyl Tiles for Room 8.

Analysis

Three formal bids were received by the June 10, 1999 deadline:

Company	Carpet Bid (includes installation)	Vinyl Tile Bid (includes installation)
A Touch of Carpet	$5,704.67	$1,134.25
Fred's Rug Service	$7,192.75	$1,532.50
