Explanation
§ The use of digital photography during construction of City-owned facilities is a useful resource when maintenance needs arise.
§ Digital photography of the construction captures the location and installation methods of utility lines, plumbing, and ductwork that cannot be readily seen once behind a wall or under a slab.
§ ProjectLink will take photographs of the construction site each week. ProjectLink provides a digital photograph and the technology that will allow City building maintenance staff to take accurate dimensions from the photo.
§ These photos allow maintenance staff to more easily locate hidden infrastructure, reducing exploratory time and keeping maintenance costs down.
§ On February 6, 2018, the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP), four proposals were received.
§ ProjectLink, LLC best meets the City’s needs in terms of qualifications, experience, cost and responsiveness to RFP requirements.
§ Estimated contract expenditures are $400,000 over the three-year term.
