S85-N29141 - Approve the sole source purchase from Waterblasting, LLC dba Hog Technologies for the Stripe Hog® Waterblasting System Upgrade in the total amount of $255,984.50 for the Houston Airport System.
Specific Explanation:
The Director of the Houston Airport System and the Chief Procurement Officer recommend that City Council approve the sole source purchase for the Stripe Hog® Waterblasting System Upgrade from Waterblasting, LLC dba Hog Technologies in the total amount of $255,984.50 for the Houston Airport System, and that authorization be given to issue a purchase order.
The scope of work requires the vendor to perform a one-time upgrade to the tanks and systems of their 2011 Stripe Hog® Model SH8000RT. This unit has a hole in its tank and the Houston Airport System is seeking to refurbish their eight-year-old unit #41409. This equipment is used to remove paint markings and rubber from the airport’s runways and taxiways without damaging the concrete structures. The upgrade to the tanks and systems will extend its equipment life, improve the performance tasks efficiently and enhance overall productivity. The Stripe Hog® SH8000RT package includes, but not limited to, the removal and replacement of debris and water tanks, upgrade to the hog arm from 3-axis to a 5-axis unit, a new hydraulic kit, and upgrades to the plumbing and electrical components throughout the unit. The vendor’s total cost incorporates all labor and round-trip transportation from Houston, TX to Stuart, FL.
Waterblasting, LLC dba Hog Technologies is the sole source manufacturer and distributor for the Stripe Hog® equipment, parts and maintenance services in the United States.
