RE: RFQO0173-042816 Children’s Room flooring
Mr. Griffin:
The current carpeting in the Children’s room is stained, worn and unsafe due to its poor
condition. The library is replacing this flooring with carpet tiles of the same type recently
installed at City Hall. Included in this project is the moving of stacks and materials in the
Children’s room so the new flooring will extend under all of the stacks.
An invitation for bids (RFQ0173-042816) was sent te 8 vendors and posted on the city’s website
on April 4, 2016. A mandatory pre-bid conference was held on Friday April 8, 2016 and was
attended by representatives fram 2 companies. We received bids from both of those
companies:
Atkinson Carpet $29,715.00
AJ Rose Carpets and Flooring $37,897.19
Based on our evaluation of the proposals | am recommending that Atkinson Carpet be awarded
the contract for this project. Their bid was lower and they have been recommended by Jay
Hunnewell for their work on the carpet installation in City Hall.
This project will be paid for from the library's Lost/Damaged fines account, with installation
expected to occur in July, 2016.
Sincerely,
