BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Background: The Commission approved in the FY 2025 budget $54,000.00 to replace the carpet in the Juvenile Detention Center. The vinyl tiles will be purchased off of the Sourcewell National Contract in the amount of $24,221.27 from Shaw Industries, Inc. The Alabama Department of Public Accounts has stated in a letter to all public entities that based on their review of the competitive bidding process used by Sourcewell National Contract that all Alabama entities may use the Sourcewell Contract as long as we verify whether or not the goods are either not at the time available on the state purchasing program or are available at a price equal to or less than that on the state purchasing program. The Purchasing Director has verified that the vinyl is not on the current State of Alabama contract.
A quote was received from Delta Flooring, Inc., in the amount of $28,746.00 for labor only to install the new vinyl as an authorized installer for Shaw Industries, Inc. Staff recommends the Commission authorize the Chairman to execute the Public Works Contract and Certificate of Compliance.
