DISCUSSION
The Fiscal Year 2018-19 CIP budget provides for the replacement of the carpet on the
second floor at Fire Station 105. The carpet tiles at Fire Station 105 were the original
carpet tiles that were installed over 10 years ago during the building’s construction. Due
to the station’s high-traffic activity, the carpet tiles were worn and stained beyond repair,
and in need of replacement. In an effort to prevent premature wear and increase the
lifespan of the newly installed flooring, a select combination of wear and stain resistant
carpet tile and vinyl linoleum products were installed.
The areas of initial entry received a highly durable “walk off” carpet tile that has a thicker
pile than traditional carpeting, and increased stain resistance. The high-traffic hallways
were covered in a plank vinyl linoleum product that will allow for simplified routine cleaning
and maintenance. The carpet tiles in the dorm and office areas were replaced with a color

and pattern that will hide dirt more effectively to preserve the appearance of the carpeting.
All Mohawk Commercial, Inc. carpet tiles carry a limited lifetime warranty, while the vinyl
linoleum product offers a 10-year limited warranty.
The change order listed below was required to order a small quantity of additional carpet
tile material to complete the project. It was determined after material was initially ordered
that an area of flooring at the fire station was more suitable to be covered in carpet tile
than in plank vinyl linoleum, which was originally specified in the contract.
CCO# Description Amount
1. Additional carpet tile material required to complete project $1,493.96
Total: $1,493.96
The change order increased the overall contract amount by $1,493.96, or 3.43% more
than the original contract amount. All other terms and conditions of this contract have
been complied with and the work has been performed to the satisfaction of the Project
Manager. Mohawk Industries, Inc. has completed the work as defined in the project plans
and specifications in an efficient and timely manner.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total cost for flooring materials and installation services is $44,986.79. Funds in the
amount of $45,000 have been budgeted in the Fiscal Year 2018-19 Capital Improvement
Plan for the Fire Station 105 Carpet Replacement Project.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council accept all work performed by Mohawk
Commercial, Inc. for the Fire Station 105 Carpet Replacement Project as complete, and
authorize the final payment to be made in accordance with the contract documents,
subject to the retention of $2,174.64.
