Subject: S63-N25532 – Approve the Purchase of Services to Furnish and Install Automated Vestibule Doors for the Houston Airport System
SPECIFIC EXPLANATION:
The Director of the Houston Airport System and the City Purchasing Agent recommend that City Council approve the purchase of services to furnish and install automated vestibule doors in an amount not to exceed $155,618.64, through the Interlocal Agreement for Cooperative Purchasing with the Harris County Department of Education for the Houston Airport System (HAS), and that authorization be given to issue a purchase order to the Harris County Department of Education contractor, Millennium Project Solutions.
This project involves removing and replacing the existing inoperable vestibule doors with automated vestibule doors, each fitted with tempered glass and door frames. The replacement automatic vestibule doors will allow HAS to provide improved operations and increase functional accessibility to the entry and exit of Terminal D at George Bush Intercontinental Airport. The existing doors frequently become inoperable, which in turn exposes Terminal D to outside elements.
The scope of work requires the contractor to furnish all labor, materials, equipment, tools, permits, supervision and transportation necessary to furnish and install 16 automated vestibule doors and associated equipment at George Bush Intercontinental Airport’s Terminal D. The automated vestibule doors shall be warranted for one year and have an average life expectancy between 12-15 years. Millennium Project Solutions will also provide three separate training sessions to ensure that HAS personnel will be able to safely operate the automatic doors. The contractor shall have 30 calendar days to furnish and install the 16 automated vestibule doors after receipt of the City of Houston Purchase Order.
Hire Houston First:
The proposed contract requires compliance with the City’s ‘Hire Houston First’ ordinance that promotes economic opportunity for Houston businesses and supports job creation. This procurement is exempt from the City’s Hire Houston First ordinance because the department is utilizing an Interlocal or Cooperative Purchasing Agreements for this purchase.
