RECOMMENDATION: Appropriate funds for issuance of a purchase order to Restocon Corporation for structural stabilization and remediation services at the Houston Police Department Headquarters Building.
SPECIFIC EXPLANATION: The General Services Department recommends that City Council appropriate $900,000.00 for the issuance of a purchase order to Restocon Corporation for structural stabilization and remediation to the Houston Police Department Headquarters Building. Spawling concrete and masonry deformation were observed at the building parapet level, indicating a failing structure.
In order to mitigate the risk of further damage, the Strategic Procurement Division issued an emergency purchase order to Restocon Corporation to stabilize the condition at the facility. The scope of work included the erection of scaffolding towers and swing stages at the building roof level for the survey of the building parapet, the installation of encapsulating netting at the parapet cap and parapet masonry columns, and safety fencing at the street level.
