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.
