Body
SUMMARY
The majority of Building & Maintenance’s interior and exterior painting projects have been procured by obtaining quotes or by piggybacking other government entities contracts. Rather than using multiple vendors, staff is requesting the ability to piggyback an existing contract with Viktor Construction Corp for various painting projects throughout the City for the duration of their respective contract. This will allow the City to benefit from pre-negotiated prices for various items as required.
This agenda item is needed to maintain the exterior envelope of various city buildings. This is imperative to the health and well-being of the structure as well as its aesthetic appearance to the public. It has been staff’s policy to paint the exterior of buildings that have new roofs installed to ensure the exterior envelope and maintenance has been addressed as much as is possible.
Structures that are scheduled to be painted include the following: Fire 48 Training Building exterior and interior, Fire 51 exterior, Main Library exterior, MSB exterior, Main Police exterior, Police substations North Greenwood and South Greenwood exterior and interior, Lifeguard Building 0 interior, Carpenter Field exterior and interior (annual event), and BayCare Field exterior and interior (annual event).
Authorization is requested to piggyback Pinellas County Contract 23-0145-ITB valid through July 18, 2026, with option for a one, two-year renewal. Should Pinellas County extend their contract, approval to renew for the additional two years is requested.
Flexibility is requested to allow for expenditure of budgeted funds as needed throughout the term, in accordance with the intent of this general authorization.
APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT:
Funds are available in Building and Maintenance operating code 5656531-530300, Contractual Services, in capital project GSBM180004, Painting of Facilities for general government buildings, and in other various capital R&R projects depending upon location (fund).
