Explanation
* Approval of these contracts will enable the purchase and installation of floor coverings for city facilities.
* Commercial flooring may include, but is not limited to, carpet, vinyl, laminate, rubber, 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.
* 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 can leverage economies of scale, such as volume discounts, improved terms and conditions, reduced administrative costs, and access to professional and technical expertise.
* Total annual expenditures are estimated to be $600,000.
