DATED City Clerk CI'IY OF CHUI.A VISI'A DATE: April ll, 1986 TO: Charles Gill, Assistant City Attorney FROM: Marshall Brown, Interior Decorator Rosemary Lane, Library Director SUBJECT: Carpet Installation Most of the yarn for carpet construction in the United States currently is supplied by two companies, Badische and Dupont. The particular yarn that was selected for the original installation of Chula Vista Public Library was supplied by Badische. It was selected because there was uniformity in the dyes since the dyes were added during the manufacturing of the yarn. We wanted to be certain that no matter who won the bid, that we would have the colors that were specified prior to the construction or weaving of the carpet. Since the present counters, table tops, end panels on the stacks and vinyl or fabric covered chairs are color-keyed, the same intense colors are needed in replacing the carpet. The yarns are purchased by any of a number of mills and woven and sold as finished carpet. In this particular case the construction that is specified is produced in the south by either Mohawk Carpet or Alexander Smith Carpet. They are the only mills currently with the kind of equipment that would manufacture the woven carpet needed for this building. There are numbers of places where the carpet goes up a curved surface and around a curved surface at one time. We knew this particular kind of woven carpet would hold up during that kind of operation. The carpet, as specified, has no direction whic? is important because of the circular tn . matter who was to win +~^ ~-~ ~ ...... ' lays. so no ~,: u,u ,ur ~ne supply ano installation of the replacement carpet, it would have to be supplied by either Mohawk or Alexander Smith. Both of these mills are currently owned by Mohawk Carpets and the only source that they can get the yarn would be through Badische. To insure that the carpet would be available prior to the July 4th celebration, we have asked Mohawk to buy the yarn and to hold it until time to weave. The dyed yarn is now available, but they are refusing to commence construction in case the City does not go forward with the purchase and installation of the carpet. Mohawk will not begin construction unless they have a letter from the City stating that they do intend to purchase this carpet and they do intend to install it. It is my understanding that the City intends to do that as long as it does not exceed the $166,000 appropriation.
