MTG. AWARD OF AGREEMENT FOR FLOOR COVERING
SERVICES
CITY ATTY. 6
CITY MGR a DEPT. PCH
5-7-02
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff recommends Council adopt Resolution No. 2002-135 , accepting the bid proposal of Carpets by Phillips
Inc.. and authorizing the execution of an agreement for floor covering services.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
The City of Carlsbad Public Works Facilities Maintenance Division makes use of the services of floor covering
contractors on a regular basis throughout the year. Staff has determined that it is more cost effective to
cutsource work for all but minor tasks and related work. The assigned duties vary between small jobs (under
$1,000) to larger jobs that must be awarded to contractors after a bid process. Due to the current and
increasing number of these jobs per year, the Facilities Maintenance Division and the Purchasing Department
developed work specifications and issued a request for bid package to establish an annual agreement for these services. By establishing an annual agreement, it will be possible to more quickly put a contractor to work
Dn an as-needed basis while decreasing the administrative duties required to process multiple bids. Also,
downward pressure will be maintained on the cost of these services by applying the benefits of competition to
the prices of the smaller jobs.
In accordance with Section 3.28.120 of the Municipal Code, Notice to Bidders was published and Requests for
Bid were sent to five floor covering contractors. Two bids were received. The Public Works Supervisor,
Facilities Division recommends acceptance of the bid from Carpets by Phillips Inc., 626 Camelot Drive,
Oceanside CA 92054. Bid tabulation is as follows:
Carpets by Phillips $61.822.50 Contract Carpets $67,736.25
FISCAL IMPACT:
The bid was structured to have the contractor supply hourly labor costs and a discount from list price of
materials and supplies. These numbers were multiplied by an estimated number of hours of service needed
per year and an estimated dollar amount of materials. The bid from Carpets by Phillips totaled $61,822.50. However, the amount spent for services and materials will be determined by the needs of the City and the
Facilities Maintenance budget. The Facilities Maintenance Division has available funds in their budget to cover
needed services.
