FUNDING SOURCE:
Funding for this purchase is currently available in account 174-74004-118-005 (Library

This request is for the replacement of carpet for the Genealogy area and the new Teen
Zone expansion in the Library. The cost includes the relocation of books and shelves
necessary for carpet replacement. Carpet in this area has not been replaced in 14 years

Agreement with The Local Government Purchasing Cooperative (Buyboard) as allowed
by Texas Local Government Code, Section 271.102, Cooperative Purchasing Program.
Bids were taken by the Cooperative and a contract was awarded to Retail Commercial
Flooring Services. The Facility Services Division staff of the Public Works Department
and Purchasing reviewed the contract for specification compliance and pricing and
determined that the contract would provide the best product, service and pricing for
meeting the needs of the City.
Staff recommends approval.
