RFP 2 8 1993 <br />COMMENDATION <br />BOOK 90 F,kGF 6 45 <br />The apparent low bidder, Indian River Carpet and Tile was <br />disqualified because their bid did not include removal of <br />the existing carpeting as specified in the bid. <br />Staff recommends accepting Alternative No. 2 and awarding <br />the bid to Interior Contracting Service as the lowest, <br />most responsive and responsible bidder meeting <br />specifications as set forth in the Invitation to Bid. (See <br />attached Department recommendation). <br />TOTAL AMOUNT OF BID: $30,561.00 <br />ESTIMATED BUDGET $33,750.00 <br />SOURCE OF FUNDS Bldg Opr-County Buildings Carpeting <br />001-220-519-041.22 <br />Commissioner Eggert explained that the carpeting in the main <br />library became a problem early on and now needs replacement. When <br />replacement of the carpeting was first discussed, the plan was to <br />replace only the worn sections in the main areas of the first and <br />second floor, and the guesstimated cost was $33,000. A valiant <br />effort was made to keep the cost within that amount and to match <br />the color. The decision was made to utilize the extra carpeting <br />that was in storage plus the good sections of the first floor <br />carpeting to replace the worn sections on the second floor, and to <br />replace the carpeting in the main room and the multipurpose room on <br />the first floor with new carpeting. Commissioner Eggert displayed <br />samples and indicated the heavier grade which is a close color <br />match to the carpeting currently in the library. This same type <br />of carpeting will be installed in the courthouse. It has a backing <br />that does not allow dirt to pass through, which will eliminate <br />staining from below, and the heavier grade will provide longer <br />wear. Commissioner Eggert recommended the better grade of carpet <br />be placed in both rooms, which will require additional funds of <br />approximately $4,546.91, for a total cost of $38,296.91. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously approved <br />additional funds in the amount of $4,547 for carpet <br />replacement in the Main Library as recommended by <br />Commissioner Eggert, for a total cost of $38,297. <br />SAID CONTRACT <br />IS ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF CLERK TO THE BOARD <br />
