Explanation
§ The Airport’s terminal entrance and checkpoint overhead security door systems are critical to Transportation Security Administration (TSA) operations and must be fully operational at all times.
§ ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems US Inc. (Assa Abloy) is the sole manufacturer of these proprietary door systems, which require maintenance and repairs by certified Assa Abloy technicians.
§ This contract provides for regular maintenance, inspection, and repair of the door systems.
§ On March 15, 2025, the city entered into a contract with Assa Abloy for $100,000 for door system operation and maintenance services at Airport facilities. Two amendments have been made regarding door service locations. Together these amendments had no change to the contract value.
§ This amendment will provide for an increase in preventive maintenance and inspection services from twice annually to monthly and emergency on-call repair services, which are necessary due to the critical nature of the door systems and their high usage to ensure they meet Airport service level expectations and remain fully operational.
§ Waiver of a competitive solicitation process for services may be granted on a limited basis when deemed appropriate and in the city’s best interest. A waiver has been approved for these services based on Assa Abloy being the only authorized provider of these services.
§ The new estimated value of the contract including this amendment is $875,000.
Charlotte Business INClusion
A waiver of solicitation was necessary for this contract since Assa Abloy is the only authorized provider of these services. Contracts with a waiver of solicitation do not involve a competitive bidding process and are exempt from the CBI program.
