Explanation
§ The City’s Engineering & Property Management Building Maintenance staff maintains approximately 4.5 million square feet of City buildings and parking deck structures that require waterproofing, including Police and Fire Stations, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Government Center and cultural facilities.
§ There are ongoing needs for unspecified waterproofing services, including emergency repairs across the portfolio of facilities.
§ These contracts will include waterproofing walls and foundations to provide protection against water, water vapor and water-borne contamination.
§ On October 27, 2016, the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Waterproofing Services. In response to the RFP, the City received four proposals from interested service providers.
§ Engineering & Property Management Building Maintenance staff evaluated the proposals and determined that Strickland Waterproofing Co., Inc. and Watertight Systems, Inc. best meet the City’s needs in terms of qualifications, experience, cost, and responsiveness to RFP requirements.
§ Total expenditures for the contract with Strickland Waterproofing Co., Inc. are estimated to be $450,000 over the three-year term, and total expenditures for the contract with Watertight Systems, Inc. are estimated to be $75,000 over the three-year term, for an aggregate total of all contracts of $525,000.
