Jamie Polley, Director of Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources
Meeting Date: September 18, 2012
Subject: Accepting Donation of Carpet Tile from Sonus Interiors, Inc.
ACTION REQUESTED
If City Council concurs, it should, offer Resolution No. 7234, a Resolution of the City of
Shakopee, Minnesota, Accepting a Donation of carpet tile from Sonus Interiors, Inc., and
move its adoption.
BACKGROUND
The City has previously contracted with Sonus Interiors, Inc., for installation of carpet tile
on the Community Center stairways and main level hallway. In 2012, $14,000 was
budgeted for carpet installation in the vending area and lobby /front desk 'walk off' areas.
During the proposal process, Sonus Interiors, Inc., shared that they had a considerable
amount of lightly used carpet tile available that could be used in the vending area and
would match the existing main level hallway carpet tile. They had it stored and would
provide it free of charge if we were interested in paying the installation. The carpet is
valued at $27 /syd or more. Installation charges for the vending area are $1947.
Industrial walk off tile product and installation total $1819 for the entry area and $1560
for the front desk area. The total for the three areas (with acceptance of donation) would
be $5,327.44. Accepting the donated carpet would save at least $2,727 in product
expense and brings the project in $8,673 under the budgeted amount.
RELATIONSHIP TO VISION:
This supports Goal C — "Maintain the City's financial health."
This supports Goal D — "Maintain, improve, and create strong partnerships with other
public and private sector entities ".
ACTION:
