SUBJECT:
Epoxy Floor Coating for Alamodome
SUMMARY:
This ordinance authorizes a contract with Technicote, Inc. to provide epoxy resin coating to the horizontal and vertical concrete surfaces of the Alamodome Plaza Level for the Convention and Sports Facilities Department for a one-time cost of $582,000.00. Funding is available from the Convention and Sports Facilities State Reimbursement Fund.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Submitted for Council consideration and action is the attached tabulation of three bids for a contractor to provide approximately 141,000 square feet of epoxy resin coating to the horizontal and vertical concrete surfaces of the Alamodome Plaza Level seating area, vomitory entrances and approximately 10,000 square feet of yellow stripes on 1,276 concrete steps. A Formal Invitation for Bid was issued and three bid responses were received. Technicote, Inc. submitted a bid of Series 237 Power-Tread primer, Series 280 Tnemec-Glaze two-component finish, Series 280 Tnemec-Glaze for yellow safety paint step stripes, and Epo-Trac 50 for anti-slip applications for a total project cost of $582,000.00. Technicote, Inc. is the low responsible bidder.
Improvements to the Alamodome are required to maintain the viability of remaining competitive in the events market so as to attract domestic and international events. The anti-slip surface that will result from the application of the epoxy resin will improve the appearance of the seating area and contribute to the facility's safety by minimizing the potential for slip and fall incidents.
