Clerk: animal-control facility RFP should require proposed material specifications for epoxy floor
Summary
The board instructed that RFPs for animal-control facility upgrades should include proposed material specifications (including epoxy flooring) and allow on-site measurement; members flagged drainage and sanitization standards and asked staff to require material specs in the RFP.
Clerk told the board the RFP packet includes a requirement "to include proposed material specifications" and recommended deleting ambiguous wording ("shelf errors") and allowing contractors to verify square footage in person. "The language on the RFP that's in the pack is To include proposed material specifications," the Clerk said.
Members discussed why epoxy was specified (sanitization, avoiding grout cracks that trap bacteria), the need to identify drains and slope toward drains, and whether the RFP should list acceptable materials for verification by inspectors. They asked staff to include materials and specify that contractors may measure square footage on site; the board directed that RFPs should require proposed material specifications so inspectors can confirm compliance during evaluation.
