SUMMARY STATEMENT:
There were ten (10) bidders who proposed on the Library Carpet and Paint Walls Project. Wolverine Supply Inc. was the lowest bid. The highest bid came in at $535,000.00, with most bids averaging between $300,000 and $400,000.
The Valdez Consortium Library carpets have never been replaced in the basement (early 1980s construction). The carpet on the 1st floor is wrinkled and causes a tripping hazard. Wallpaper on all 3 floors is also original. Prior to the roof being replaced (2015) there were substantial leaks in all 3 floors of the library, since roof replacement, no new leaks have been observed. However, there is residual mold in several identified (and potentially unidentified) locations. Mold and asbestos (in cove base adhesive) will need to be remediated with this project. A force account was added to the bid schedule to account for un-anticipated discoveries up to $25K.
All 3 floors will have the same carpet tile. Entrance way will have walk-off matt to reduce wear on carpet and improve longevity.
Walls on all three floors will be painted. Ceiling on 1st floor will also be painted.
Drawing set for further detail has been provided (Attached).
Library will be closed beginning February 19th. All books and media items, IT equipment and office supplies are being removed from construction locations. Construction will begin March 5th and will be substantially complete by April 30th. The library is anticipated to open again on May 15th.
