Explanation
§ General Services is responsible for maintaining a portfolio of more than 200 municipal facilities, structures, and assets with a range of uses including office, warehouse, storage, parking, vehicle maintenance, communication towers, cultural facilities, and public safety.
§ These contracts will provide painting services at various city locations. Services may include labor, materials, equipment, and supervision for painting and finishing new and existing interior and exterior surfaces as needed.
§ On April 27, 2026, the city issued a Request for Proposals (RFP); eight responses were received.
§ The companies selected best meet the city’s needs in terms of qualifications, experience, and responsiveness to the RFP requirements.
§ At renewal, potential price adjustments may be considered based on legitimate and justified increases in the cost of doing business. The ability to consider price adjustments also allows the city to accept decreases, if warranted.
§ Annual aggregate expenditures are estimated to be $535,000.
Charlotte Business INClusion
Charlotte Paint Company LLC is a city-certified WBE, Reliable Restorations is a city-certified MBE and SBE, and Treadway & Sons Painting & Wallcovering, Inc. is a city-certified SBE. Contract goals were not established for this contract because the scope of work required does not present viable subcontracting opportunities. The companies selected will be responsible for 100% of the work, and there are no opportunities to include subcontractors. This assessment was confirmed by CBI and the respective department after reviewing the project’s scope and potential for division into subcontracting opportunities.
