Cultural Arts Center Carpet - Bid Award
History
The Cultural Arts Center at 14760 Park Lane was acquired by the village about 15 years ago. Since that time the carpet has endured heavy traffic. The village has implemented the use of carpet tiles to help in repair and replacement of worn carpeting throughout village facilities. This solution has decreased the amount of subsequent carpet replacement, making it easier and more efficient to replace only a few tiles, compared to a complete room of carpeting. The CAC currently has roll type carpeting and several areas have been replaced with carpet tiles. Funds have been requested as part of the FY2019 budget process to complete the carpet replacement at the CAC.
An invitation to bid (ITB 18-041), Cultural Arts Center Carpet Replacement, was published on BidNet Direct from September 19th through October 4, 2018. Four (4) vendors were notified (three (3) through BidNet, one (1) verbally) and five (5) downloaded the documents. A pre-bid meeting was held on September 24th for vendors to measure and clarify the replacement areas, with only one vendor attending the meeting. Additionally, only one sealed bid was submitted and opened by the Village Clerk’s office on October 4, 2018. Village staff has reviewed the one bid submittal totaling $35,350.00 from Carpet Interiors, Inc. of Orland Park, IL (summary and responsiveness check are attached).
Carpet Interiors, Inc. is a local vendor that has installed carpeting for many village facilities. Staff has been very pleased with the work performed by Carpet Interiors.
Upon review of the submitted bid, it is staff’s recommendation to accept the bid from Carpet Interiors, Inc. of Orland Park, Illinois in an amount of $35,350.00.
On October 15, 2018, this item was reviewed by the Public Works Committee and recommended for approval and referred to the Village Board of Trustees for consideration.
