Agenda Report #48





TO: Mayor and Councilors



SUBJECT: Purchase Authorizations



INITIATED BY: Finance Department



(A) POLAR DECK FLOORING FOR THE CIVIC CENTER



It is requested that Council approve the purchase of polar deck flooring and

storage equipment from Terraplas North America (Kilgore, TX), in the amount of

$144,140.00.



The polar deck flooring is used to cover the ice floor during events, other

than Hockey, held at the Civic Center. The current polar deck flooring was

purchased in 1997 and is suffering from major wear and tear due to food and

liquid spills, patron traffic, the use of chairs on the flooring and the

repeated removal and assembly, by forklifts, to install and uninstall the

flooring. The floor has a continuous odor, takes a constant beating and is

deteriorating. Many of the floor panels are broken and require duct tape to

seal the seams and keep the panels from moving.



The Terracover? flooring, which is manufactured by Terraplas, is a new system

of polar deck flooring. The floor panels are made to interlock, thereby

avoiding gaps. The interlocking system is much safer and more durable than the

old mode of polar floor covering. The Terracover? system is used in many

professional arenas throughout the country. Terraplas is the manufacturer and

the only known provider of an interlocking polar deck floor system; therefore,

this purchase is considered an Only Known Source, per the Procurement

Ordinance, 3-114.



Funds are budgeted in the FY06 Budget, Civic Center ? Capital Expenditure Over

$5,000; 0757 ? 160 ? 1000 ? CIVC ? 7761.

Color Offset Press, from AB Dick Products, in the amount of $28,000.00. The

copies. The current offset press was purchased in 1990, and cannot handle

OFFSET PRESS, FROM AB DICK PRODUCTS, IN THE AMOUNT OF $28,000.00. THE LEASE

PURCHASE WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED VIA A 60-MONTH LEASE, WITH MONTHLY PAYMENTS OF

WHEREAS, the purchase of the offset printer will enable the Print Shop

to expedite the increasing number of jobs requiring full color printing with

minimal down time in job setup, provide better quality prints, and reduce the

cost for color copies. The current offset press was purchased in 1990, and

cannot handle four-color process jobs. To accomplish a four-color job, with

the existing equipment, Print Shop staff must perform a total of four passes on

one sheet and risk ink contamination; and,



WHEREAS, the proposed used equipment has a very low impression count,

totaling about 3.5 million. The equipment has only been used for training

purposes. Therefore, the useful life expectancy of the equipment could be

long-term with regular preventive maintenance. Consequently, the purchase of

the used equipment is considered an only known source, per the Procurement

Ordinance, Section 3-114.



NOW, THEREFORE, THE COUNCIL OF COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:



That the City Manager is hereby authorized to lease purchase a used
