Executive Summary
The Manager of Environmental Services, on behalf of the Superintendent of Schools, hereby requests the Board to award Bid No. 26-360-32 - Carpet, VCT & LVT: Installation, Removal & Repairs, to Mark’s Flooring Inc. for flooring needs, goods and services and authorize an estimated annual spending of $55,000.00.
This solicitation for services was publicly posted in accordance with procurement procedures, for a total of eight (8) weeks, which included an extension. Although efforts were made to notify potential vendors, only one (1) bid was received.
After careful review of the bid, it has been determined that the vendor’s submittal is responsive and responsible, and the price is reasonable and comparable to current market rates. The vendor also meets all required qualifications, licensing, insurance and complies with the District’s specifications.
This vendor has provided installation services for the District for over 20 years and has demonstrated reliability, technical expertise, and a strong understanding of our expectations. Their long-standing relationship with the District reflects a proven track record of quality workmanship, responsiveness, and adherence to project timelines and budget requirements.
Re-solicit would cause a delay in possible projects across the District.
For these reasons, we feel it is in the best interest of the District to award the contract to this bidder.

Financial Impact
See attached budget sheet.
If expenditure is not currently budgeted, this will serve as the budget amendment when Board approved. If the agenda item includes the purchase of goods or services, the funds requested are an anticipated amount and may fluctuate depending on such factors as current market conditions, product availability, additional funding sources, and the needs of the District. Should the actual cost exceed the anticipated amount, the Board approves the additional cost, after review by the superintendent, but not in excess of the funds available in the site’s approved annual budget.
