vendor responding. A pre-bid conference was held on September 4, 2001 to answer any
questions that potential vendors might have regarding the specifications. two vendors
attended the pre-bid conference. The bid required each vendor to visit the CAC and

was from DuPont Flooring at $61,282.
If the bid is approved as recommended, the carpet can be installed at the facility during
the week of October 22nd, which is the week between class sessions at the Community
Activities Center. This will minimize the impact on the citizens that utilize the facility for
classes. In addition, a portion of the facility will always be open to citizens during the
installation of the carpet.
