SUMMARY:
An ordinance authorizing a task order to a Job Order Contract with Tejas Premier Building Contractor, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $453,009.17 to provide for the removal, re-installation, and repairs to the storm water lift station associated with the short-term parking garage eastern helix at the San Antonio International Airport, an Airport Capital Improvement Fund project.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Project Background
The Storm Water Lift Station at SAIA is used to pump storm water from low lying areas to higher areas so that water may drain away from the property. In 2017, the Storm Water Lift Station began to fail, therefore, disallowing for water to be pumped away from the lower level of the Short-Term Parking Garage. This task order will provide for the removal, re-installation and repairs to the existing Storm Water Lift Station. Repairs will include new pumps, controls, support structure, electrical panels and conductors. Included in this work will be the construction of additional concrete retaining walls and work pads at several locations. Project construction is anticipated to begin May 2019 and estimated for completion by October 2019.
Procurement of Services
This project was selected to utilize Job Order Contracting (JOC), an alternative project delivery method in which ten contractors were approved through Ordinance 2019-02-21-0134 by City Council on February 21, 2019. The use of the JOC delivery method provides the City with on-call construction, renovation and maintenance services for City buildings and facilities. The assignment of JOC contractors to specific jobs is based on the contractor’s current workload, overall capacity and familiarity with a specific facility, expertise in completing a specific task and/or managing a specific trade needed to carry out the requested construction.
This contract will be awarded in compliance with the Small Business Economic Development Advocacy (SBEDA) Program. This program requires contracts be reviewed by a Goal Setting Committee who establishes requirements to maximize the amount of small business, minority, as well as, women-owned business participation on the contract. The Goal Setting Committee set a 24% Minority/Women Business Enterprise (M/WBE) subcontracting goal and a 4% African American Business Enterprise (AABE) subcontracting goal. Tejas Premier Building Contractor, Inc. has committed to these subcontractor participation goals.
