Title
City Facilities Roof Replacement
Details: Staff used the U.S. Communities National Cooperative Purchasing Program that the City has been participating in since 2004 to select Garland/Design Build Solutions (DBS), Inc. to develop a proposal for repair and/or replacement of the building roofs for the Library, Police Department and City Hall facilities. As part of the 2017 budget process, City Council authorized $400,000 for this work effort. Garland/DBS, Inc. has the expertise and is able to serve in a project management capacity on behalf of the City, obtain bids, oversee the workmanship, and ensure product quality control with predetermined materials and labor rates. Garland/DBS, Inc. solicited bids from five roofing contractors, held a pre-bid walk-through meeting and ultimately received three bids to complete the work. The final proposal for all three buildings exceeded the authorized budgeted amount. Factors contributing to the high costs are current market conditions and an unanticipated increase of scope with the Police Department building requiring a complete removal of the previous two roof layers. Due to the amount of the cost proposals, available budget, and prioritizing needs, staff recommended Council approve the proposal by Garland/DBS, Inc. for the replacement of the Library and Police Station roofs only in the amount of $382,038.46.
