RECOMMENDATION(S):

AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to advertise for bids for the 2021 On-Call Polyurea Coating Services Contract(s) for polyurea coating installation and maintenance services, at various County facilities, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Facilities Maintenance Budget. (100% General Fund)

BACKGROUND:

Facilities Services is responsible for maintenance of showers and floors at the detention facilities and congregate care facilities. These areas are in an unusual environment, with constant wear and usage. Various materials have been used in the past to rebuild or replace shower units, only to have them decay and degrade, causing problems with surrounding areas. Polyurea coatings (Line-X) have been able to withstand the treatment of the guests in the facility.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The existing contract for these services is due to expire January 31, 2022. Government Code Section 25358 authorizes the County to contract for maintenance and upkeep of County facilities.

The Public Works Department is requesting authorization to advertise and conduct a formal solicitation for on-call polyurea coating services. A Notice to Bidders would be placed in the Contra Costa Times and several building exchanges in accordance with the Cost Accounting Policies and Procedures Manual of the California Uniform Construction Cost Accounting Commission.

The Public Works Department intends to award at least one (1) but not more than two (2) contracts, total of contracts not to exceed $2,000,000, to the lowest, responsive and responsible bidder(s). Each contract will have a term of three (3) years with the option of two (2) one-year extensions, and will be used as needed with no minimum amount that has to be spent.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the request to advertise is not approved, the Public Works Department will not be able to advertise for installation of polyurea coating services.
