Council approves $79,897 cooperative purchase for city‑hall carpet replacement
Summary
The Prineville City Council voted to approve a $79,897 cooperative purchase (via the City of Eugene contract) for replacement carpet at city hall; staff said the product matches previously used high‑traffic carpet and that hard‑surface alternatives were rejected for acoustics and maintenance reasons.
Council approved a staff recommendation to replace city‑hall carpet using a cooperative purchasing contract at a cost of $79,897.
James Wilson, IT manager, told council the project is scheduled as the scheduled maintenance for city hall and that staff identified a cooperative contract with the City of Eugene to procure the specified high‑traffic carpet (product: fubo flo tex). Wilson said the quoted price of $79,897 matched staff estimates and that installation would occur after hours or on weekends to minimize public disruption.
Several councilors asked whether the purchase had gone out to public bid and whether a hard surface had been considered. Wilson answered that the city used a competitively procured cooperative contract and that hard surface was discussed but rejected because of maintenance, acoustical impacts in the room and potential slip/trip hazards.
A council member moved to approve the recommendation and the motion passed with council saying "aye"; no opposing votes were recorded on the audio transcript.
The city will proceed with procurement and scheduling of installation dates to limit public access impacts during the work.
