BALCZUN <br />COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR <br />THRU: JOSEPH A. BAIR <br />DIRECTOR OF OM <br />FROM: TERRANCE G. PINT <br />DIRECTOR OF UTILW�CES <br />SUBJECT: CARPETING FOR RENOVATING <br />UTILITIES DEPARTMENT AREA <br />BACKGROUND <br />When the renovation work went out for bid, Creative Floors of Vero <br />Beach bid an installed price on Arena II carpet in the amount of <br />$6,800.00. This bid exceeds the original estimate of $4,776.00. <br />Since the bid came in, several other considerations must be <br />addressed: <br />1) Comparison of carpet quality and durability due to the <br />high volume of traffic experienced by our Department. <br />2) Volume of floor preparation required to firmly secure the <br />new carpet. <br />A discussion with Lynn Williams and Jim Wright produced the <br />following recommendations: <br />1) Upgrade the original quality of carpet. <br />2) Establish a new cost for the floor preparation due to the <br />discovery of various floor textures previously hidden <br />under old carpet. <br />Analysis <br />Evans Carpet has negotiated with Jim Wright for the floor <br />preparation of utility area with a net change of $2,024.00. Funding <br />will come from account 471-000-162-003.00. This will increase the <br />original contract price of $64,620.00 to $66,644.00. This will be <br />considered change order number 1. <br />Recommendation <br />At this time the Utility Department asks that the Board of County <br />Commissioners approve this change to the original contract, so our <br />renovation work can continue without delay. <br />54 <br />
