Item No. 6D <br />Type of Business: CA <br />WK: Work Session; PH: Public Hearing; <br />CA: Consent Agenda; CB: Council Business City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Tim Brennan, Deputy Police Chief/Acting Chief <br />Item Title/Subject: Resolution 5623 Authorizing the Replacement of <br />Carpet throughout the Police Department <br />Date of Report: September 24, 2001 <br /> <br />REPLACEMENT OF POLICE DEPARTMENT CARPETING: <br /> Carpeting throughout the Police Department is nine years old and <br />in very poor condition in several areas. The last attempt to have <br />the carpet cleaned was unsatisfactory and cost in excess of <br />$1,600.00 for the entire police department. Carpet replacement for <br />the two areas most in need, the squad room and break room area, <br />was budgeted for 2001 in the amount of $4,400.00. Five carpet <br />stores were consulted and three bids were ultimately obtained. <br />Recommendations from all carpet reps were to upgrade to a <br />commercial grade nylon carpet. This upgrade would be much <br />more durable and respond to cleaning much better than the <br />current olefin synthetic carpet. In order to minimize the amount of <br />work disruption and ensure the best overall appearance and <br />match, we looked into bids to replace all department carpeting at <br />once. Sufficient funds are available within the police department’s <br />equipment account to cover the additional cost to replace the <br />carpeting throughout the police department. Bids for “Cumberland- <br />Starburst” commercial grade nylon carpeting were obtained from <br />the following three vendors: Carpet King- $6,984.25; Carpet <br />Consultants- $10,024.60; and Bennett-Cooper Floors- $6,421.32. <br />None of the bids include furniture moving, which would be <br />performed by either public works or police personnel, as available. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />It is recommended that the Council approve the replacement of <br />carpeting throughout the police department. Materials and <br />installation to be provided by Bennett-Cooper Floors of New <br />Brighton at an estimated cost of $6,421.32. <br /> <br /> <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br /> <br />___________________________ <br />Tim Brennan <br />Deputy Police Chief/Acting Chief <br />
