Specific Explanation:
The Director of the General Services Department and the Chief Procurement Officer recommend that City Council approve an ordinance awarding a two-year contract, with three one-year options to Gutier, LLC in the maximum contract amount not to exceed $10,000,000.00 for roof repair and replacement services for Houston Public Works, Houston Airport System, Houston Parks & Recreation, Solid Waste and General Services Departments.
The scope of work requires the contractor to furnish all labor, personnel, supervision, equipment, tools, materials, supplies, scaffolding, permits, transportation, bonds, other incidentals, necessary insurance, and compliance with the 2019 construction wage scale to remove, repair and replace existing roofs at various City buildings. The contract will also be used to repair roofs that are under manufacturer’s warranty, but beyond the standard one-year installation warranty.

Work will be approved by work orders issued on an as-needed basis. Gutier, LLC is qualified/authorized to perform warranty repair on major roofing manufacturing systems, including GAF roofing products, Firestone building products, and Carlisle Syntec Systems.
