Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to modify a contract with 2K General for the repair and small-scale renovation of city facilities under the purview of the Facilities Management Division. The original contract with 2K General was formally bid through SA005402. Legislation was not necessary to establish the original contract because the total amount did not exceed $20,000.00. This contract was modified earlier in 2016 via Ordinance 1456-2016 ($45,000.00), which was necessary for site assessments and general contracting services at various facilities under the purview of the Facilities Management Division, that could not be completed by in-house Facilities maintenance staff.
Because Facilities Management already has 2K General Company under contract, it would not be in the best interest of the city to select another vendor to complete this work. Prices already established in the contract were used to determine the cost of this modification. Facilities Management is responsible for helping to maintain over eighty(80) city buildings. There is a multitude of small capital projects such as concrete repair, carpentry, masonry and a similar renovations that are occassionally necessary. These funds will be used for similar type projects.
Emergency action is requested so that this work may proceed in a timely manner.
