Explanation
§ The Aviation Department has traditionally managed small or specialized HVAC projects, including equipment replacement and associated electrical upgrades, plumbing modifications and carpentry work. Due to the growth of the facility, the amount of projects has increased and more project management is required.
§ These contracts will provide engineering services for all aspects of mechanical, electrical, and structural design, or any type of work covered by Aviation’s facilities maintenance department.
§ On August 31, 2017, the City issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ); 11 proposals were received and five firms were selected for future projects.
§ RDK Engineers NC, Inc. and AME Consulting Engineers PC, best meet the City’s needs on the basis of demonstrated competence and qualification of professional services to the RFQ requirements.
§ Pricing for these services will be based on the size and nature of the project.
§ Total estimated contract expenditures for both contracts over the two-year term are $700,000.
§ This activity is occurring on Airport property (Council District 3).
