Specific Explanation:
The Director of Houston Public Works and the Chief Procurement Officer recommend that City Council approve spending authority for the purchase of on-call maintenance and repair services through the Interlocal Agreement for Cooperative Purchasing with the Harris County Department of Education (HCDE) in the total amount of $6,000,000.00 for Houston Public Works, and that authorization be given to issue purchase orders, as needed, for a 44-month term, to the HCDE contractor, Brown and Root Industrial Services, LLC.
Houston Public Works' Drinking Water Operations (DWO) is in the process of repairing and replacing waterlines citywide. Due to the shortage of City staff, HPW relies on these services to meet the inspection demand and to maintain reliable operations of the HPW/DWO facilities that provides water to the citizens of Houston.
The scope of work requires the contractor to provide all equipment, labor, materials, tools, supervision, and transportation necessary to provide maintenance and repair services for the minor construction, rehabilitation, alteration of facilities and equipment at water treatment plants, re-pump stations, and groundwater well sites. The pricing for each job is determined by the contractor providing a cost factor coefficient to be multiplied by pre-priced tasks as listed in the current R.S. Means Construction Cost Data Books. HPW will issue purchase/work orders to the contractor as needed.
MWBE Subcontracting:
The proposed spending authority is issued with a 30% MWBE participation level. Brown and Root Industrial Services, LLC designated the below-named companies as its MWBE subcontractors.
