Sole Bid Received October 21, 2021 for P06-S30043 - Approve an award to Heli-Mart, Inc. in the amount not to exceed $640,600.00 for helicopter components overhaul and or exchange services for the Houston Police Department.
Specific Explanation:
The Chief of the Houston Police Department and the Chief Procurement Officer recommend that City Council approve an award to Heli-Mart, Inc. on its sole bid in the amount not to exceed $640,600.00 for helicopter components overhaul and or exchange services for the Houston Police Department. It is further requested that authorization be given to make purchases, as needed, for a 36-month period with two one-year options. This award covers the overhaul/exchange of what is known in the industry as helicopter “rotables” which need to be rotated at frequent intervals. The line item award consists of helicopter components, such as, main and tail rotor transmissions, main rotor swash plates, pitch controls, overrunning clutches, landing gear dampers, and one-way locks to be used in the department’s Air Support Division for MD369/500/600/900 series helicopters housed at William P. Hobby Airport. This award also includes a $72,500.00 labor component for repair of equipment that cannot be performed by City personnel.
This project was advertised in accordance with the requirements of the State of Texas bids laws. Seven prospective bidders downloaded the solicitation document from SPD's e-bidding website, and one bid was received. Heli-Mart, Inc. is certified by the Federal Aviation and Administration and its repair facility in Irvine, CA is approved as an authorized maintenance repair center by the agency.
M/WBE:
Zero percent goal-document approved by the Office of Business Opportunity.
Hire Houston First:
The proposed award requires compliance with the City’s 'Hire Houston First' (HHF) ordinance that promotes economic opportunity for Houston businesses and supports job creation. In this case, Heli-Mart, Inc. does not meet the requirements for HHF designation; no HHF firms were within three percent.
Fiscal Note:
Funding for this item is included in the FY2022 Adopted Budget. Therefore, no Fiscal Note is required as stated in the Financial Policies.
