Explanation
§ These contracts will provide commercial plumbing services on an as-needed basis at various facilities maintained by the city and the Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS).
§ On January 9, 2026, the city issued a Request for Proposals (RFP); four responses were received.
§ The selected companies best meet the city’s needs in terms of qualifications, experience, project approach, cost, and responsiveness to 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.
§ Total contract expenditures are estimated to be $500,000.
Charlotte Business INClusion
Holloway Plumbing, LLC is a city-certified MBE, and Primes After Hours Plumbing, Inc. is a city-certified SBE. Contract goals were not established for these contracts because the scope of work or goods required do not present viable subcontracting opportunities. The selected companies will be responsible for 100% of the work or goods, and there are no opportunities to include subcontractors. This assessment was confirmed by CBI and CATS after reviewing the project’s scope and potential for division into subcontracting opportunities.
