Title
Contract for the Purchase and Installation of Carpet in the Old Library Building (B)
This item is for a contract to purchase and install new carpeting on all floors of the Old Library Building.
Explanation
The existing carpet in the Old Library Building was installed in 1995 and is in poor condition. The Purchasing division solicited bids in September 2006 and four (4) bids were received on October 5, 2006. Staff recommends accepting the lowest responsive bid.
Fiscal Note
Funds in the amount of $42,570 are available in the Facilities Management Budget.
Recommendation
The City Commission: 1) approve entering into a contract with Workplace Solutions, Inc. to replace the carpet in the Old Library Building in an amount not to exceed $42,570, which includes a 10% contingency; and 2) authorize the City Manager or designee to execute the contract, subject to the approval by the City Attorney as to form and legality.
Alternative Recommendation: The City Commission reject all bids and maintain the current carpet.
