SUMMARY: In 2000, the District bought the Harris Court property and had the original carpet installed at that time.  The existing carpet has been in use for 14 years and is now showing signs of wear and tear and needs to be replaced.  The carpet is lifting up throughout the office creating safety hazard for the employees.  Staff solicited bids from 3 different companies which are attached as Exhibit 2-A.

 

The price includes removal of the old carpet, moving of the office furniture and reinstalling new carpet.  Based on the attached bids, staff recommends selecting Broadway Carpets Option 1 for a price of $26,500.  The FY 2013-2014 budget included $25,000 for this project, and additional $1,500 will be used from the contingency line item.

 

RECOMMENDATION:  Staff recommends that the Board select Broadway Carpets Option 1 for a price of $26,500 and authorize the District Administrative Services Manager to execute all necessary contracts associated with this project.
