SUBJECT:
Title
CONSIDER AWARDING A PUBLIC WORKS CONTRACT TO KISBA CONTRACTING, INC. TO FURNISH AND INSTALL CARPET ON THE FIRST FLOOR OF CITY HALL (CITY COUNCIL)
Body
I. SUMMARY
Carpet conditions within City Hall have deteriorated over several years of use. Despite maintenance staff's efforts to clean and repair the carpet, the color and texture have degraded to the point that many areas are showing signs of permanent stains, tears, and other damage that are no longer acceptable for office standards. As part of the larger City Hall first floor refurnishing project, staff is proposing the replacement of nearly 24,000 square feet of carpet in all staff areas as well as select publicly accessible spaces.
Staff has completed an informal bid process and has determined that Kisba Contracting, Inc. is the lowest responsible and responsive bidder. As a result, City Council is asked to consider awarding a Public Works Agreement to this vendor in an amount not to exceed $174,772.95, on a conditional basis.
II. RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation
TAKE the following actions:

2. AUTHORIZE Mayor to execute the Public Works Agreement following approval as to form by the City Attorney.
Body
III. ALTERNATIVES
TAKE another action deemed appropriate by the City Council as allowed by law.
