County awards epoxy flooring for Civic Center; commissioners flag acoustics for follow‑up
Summary
The county awarded an IFB for the Civic Center floor to Witherspoon Construction for epoxy flooring; commissioners discussed acoustical panels for the room and noted tradeoffs with carpet.
San Patricio County commissioners awarded IFB 2025‑006 for flooring at the county Civic Center to Witherspoon Construction on Aug. 4, choosing epoxy flooring over carpet.
Purchasing staff presented two bid options: carpet tile and epoxy. The court approved the lower epoxy bid from Witherspoon Construction and directed staff to issue the award. Commissioners discussed long‑term maintenance and acoustics during the decision. One commissioner said carpet creates ongoing cleaning and trip‑hazard concerns, while others noted epoxy is louder and suggested adding acoustical panels on walls or ceiling as a follow‑up.
Staff advised carpeting could be installed in about two weeks from ordering and take roughly seven business days to complete; epoxy materials would take seven to 10 business days to arrive and the installation could require 7–15 business days. Witherspoon noted product warranties typically include a one‑year workmanship warranty and longer product warranties for the epoxy finish. The court authorized award and asked staff to explore acoustical treatment options before final installation.
