SUBJECT: 4.6(b)--Authorize the sole source and procurement of Mannington Retroscope
83638 Tile Ca etin
Recommendation
Authorize the sole source and procurement of Mannington [Retroscope 83638] Tile Carpeting to
enhance, upgrade, and match the flooring at the City of Redding City Ha11 within the
speeifications for Public Works projects as authorized by Publie Contraet Code Section
3400(c)(2).
Fiscal Impaet
Standardizing carpet for the City of Redding City Hall (City Hall) will not impact the General
Fund.
Alternative Action
The City Council could decline to approve the sole source and pracurement of Mannington
[Retroscope 83638] Tile Carpeting and provide staff with alternate direction.
BackgNound/Analysis
With the exception of select areas, City Hall has not replaced or upgraded the flooring in most
offices and common areas since 2000. While carpet warranties may last 15 years, the typical
lifespan of commercial carpet in office settings is only about five to seven years. After 24
years, throughout City Hall, the existing carpet is worn and in need of replacement.
Staff has addressed manageable flooring areas and projects, including 9,775 square feet of
Luxury Vinyl Tile planks that were installed in the stairwells and common areas for $130,000
in 2021. Also, in 2023, the Building Maintenance Division replaced the carpet in the Redding
Poliee Department's Investigations Division, utilizing the Maru�ington [Retroscope 83638]
product. This particular carpet was chosen as a durable, neutral and attractive style that would
hold appeal for many years. The carpet material is a 6,6 yarn, meaning it has double strands of

carbon atoms embedded in the nylon fibers for strength, which exceeds industry standards and
means it should last much longer than the existing carpet with high resiliency to compression
and static resistance.
Staff proposes to use the same carpet throughout the building for a11 ]ocations where the
Building Maintenance Division performs or contracts for future carpet installations. Using the
same material wi11 make repairs and replacements easier as well as keep a uniform aesthetic
wherever possible. Utilizing the same carpet product will also keep the building on the same
replacement schedule. The carpet is designed to last for 20 years under harsh conditions and
comes with a 20-year warranty. Furthermore, the proposed carpet is also manufactured as a
tile system that is easily replaced in small sections when damaged or severely stained.
Replacement of the worn and damaged carpeting will improve public perception in addition to
helping prevent trip and fall incidents.
Environmental Review
This activity is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act, and no
further action is required.
