Explanation
* Authorize the purchase and installation of floor coverings for city facilities.
* G.S. 143-129(e)(3) allows local governments to purchase from formally organized cooperative purchasing contracts.
* Cooperative purchasing agreements result from the consolidation and competitive solicitation of multiple public agency requirements. By aggregating common needs, all agencies are able to leverage economies of scale, such as volume discounts, improved terms and conditions, reduced administrative costs, and access to professional and technical expertise that can be utilized on a local, regional, and national level.
* Commercial flooring may include but is not limited to carpet, vinyl, laminate, rubber and sheet tile, ceramic tile, and wood flooring.
* The contracts will also provide the option of turn-key installation or replacement services performed by a network of authorized dealer/installation partners to service the city's needs.
* Total annual expenditures are estimated to be $1,000,000.
