TITLE
Recommendation to adopt Specification No. RFP FS18-021 and authorize City Manager, or designee, to execute a contract with Stonhard, a division of Stoncor Group, Inc., of Maple Shade, NJ, for installation of commercial shop floor coating at the Fleet Service Bureau maintenance facility, in the amount of $235,000, with a 15 percent contingency in the amount of $35,250, for a total contract amount not to exceed $270,250, inclusive of taxes and fees.
