Body
SUMMARY:
Bids were solicited for drapery for the Council Chambers, roller shades, and horizontal blinds.  Following advertising and mailing out bid specs to vendors who had expressed interest, only one bid was received on the roller shades and horizontal blinds.  No bid was received on the drapery.
 
The only bid received on the roller shades was from Clearview Closet & Blinds.  However, we believe we can eliminate some of the motors and reduce the cost substantially.  A meeting will be held on Monday morning and we will have a report at the meeting.
 
The bid received on the horizontal blinds was $88.50 per blind (estimated at 150 each) from Clearview Closet & Blinds.
 
Since no bids were received on the drapes, the only options are to re-bid or to negotiate a price with vendors.
 
BUDGET ACCOUNT:  311-41920-930-002
 
Recommended Action
NECESSARY COUNCIL ACTION:  Approve bids of Clearview Closet & Blinds and authorize the City Manager and City Clerk to negotiate with a vendor and purchse the drapes.
