BACKGROUND:
The Joliet Police Department facility is over 20 years old and is in need of upgrades and repairs. One of the primary needs is the replacement of flooring throughout the building, including but not limited to the Administration, Investigations, Operations, NOPT, and Records departments. The flooring that is slated to be replaced is almost all original, end of life, and long overdue for replacement. Additionally, this project has been deferred for many years.
The Joliet Police Department is seeking to install new flooring that improves functionality, and will also provide an updated, modernized appearance for the facility.
The scope of work includes the removal of existing carpet and flooring, removal of baseboards, floor preparation, and the installation of new flooring and baseboards throughout the designated areas
CONCLUSION:
Three (3) proposals were received for this flooring. The proposals are as follows:
CONTRACTOR BID AMOUNT
Dandy Floor Covering, Inc. $209,210.00
Integrity Restoration $215,400.00
The Flooring Guys, Inc. $199,170.00
The Flooring Guys, Inc. has the lowest quote of $199,170.00. Their quote includes tearout and installation of flooring.
Section 2-438 of the City of Joliet Code of Ordinances states that purchases over $25,000.00 may be awarded without written specifications or bidding under certain circumstances. Two of these circumstances apply:
(f) Purchases when authorized by a concurring vote of two-thirds (2/3) of the Mayor and City Council;
