$2,132,546.36 Worth of Carpet for Orange County Convention Center




67,138 square yards of Tai Pong (Website) brand carpet will be used in the West Concourse and Bridge flooring replacement project inside the Orange County Convention Center at a cost of $2,132,546.36. 

That works out to $30.30 per square yard. 

The carpet will be installed under a separate construction contract.

Tai Pong (Website) is the designated manufacturer that developed the Axminster carpet that has been installed in Phase II of the West Building, Westwood Lobby, and Valencia Room. It has set a precedent for the rest of the public areas in order to have the continuity of design throughout the building as well as to facilitate the maintenance programs. Phase 2 consists of approximately 25% of the West Building. This purchase will cover the remaining areas of the West Building.

By combining the requirements of the carpet and ordering the larger quantities, the cost per square yard was reduced to $30.30 which is lower than the $32.90 per square yard cost for the Westwood Lobby and Valencia Room. This price is considered fair and reasonable by staff and the contracted interior designer.
