Bids to reflooring town hall comes down to which company can start the job the quickest
The Century Town Council Tuesday night approved to accept one of two lower bids submitted by flooring retailers, with the deciding factor being the company that can start the job quicker.
Three bids came in on replacing the flooring in part of town hall, one for $21,145.57 from Cannon Carpets, one from Home Depot for $12,926.44 and one from Shamar Carpet for $15,818. The install includes removal of existing tile in the kitchen and two employee bathrooms and carpet throughout and replacement with new ceramic tile and luxury vinyl tile flooring in utility, storage and supply closets, offices, foyer and front window office. The upgrade will be paid out of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds.
Councilwoman Alicia Johnson made the motion to hire whichever of the two lower bids could start the job the soonest, which was seconded by Councilwoman Sandra McMurray Jackson. The motion carried unanimously. No action was taken on which company specifically to hire.
