Body
BACKGROUND
This action does not encumber funds; the purpose of a service contract is to establish firm pricing for services, for a specific term, which are ordered on an as needed basis.
This Supplemental Agreement will provide for continued painting and electrical services. This contract will address one time and annual maintenance projects. Regular maintenance ensures all facilities are maintained and presentable to Dallas residents and visitors. The contractor shall furnish all necessary labor, tools, materials, supplies, equipment, paint, and sundries to complete each assigned jobs. Some maintenance and repair projects previously have been for structures of various material types including steel, masonry, concrete, and miscellaneous items. Some service areas include:
• Water treatment and distribution plants, pump stations, motor and pump housings, motors, pumps, and other equipment
• Electrical repair for Building Services for approximately 800 City facilities with 11 million square feet, including libraries, City Hall, and the Jack Evans Police Headquarters
In addition to industrial and commercial electrician services, this agreement provides for abrasive blasting operations and welding of a variety of surfaces such as tank interiors. Industrial painting application services procured through this agreement are consistent with requirements of the Steel Structures Painting Council Paint Application Specification SSPC-PA1, latest revision, for "Shop, Field and Maintenance Painting of Steel." Industrial painting services provided for through this agreement include, but are not limited to, the painting of metal surfaces, air conditioning grilles, pipes, ceiling diffusers, conduit, machinery, panels and boxes, roof ventilators, goosenecks, exhaust fans and vents on roof where exposed in finished spaces, mechanical rooms or on exterior, sight-exposed surfaces inside of ducts and other mechanical openings.
On November 10, 2015, the City Council authorized a living wage policy that requires contractors to pay their employees a “living wage” rate as established annually by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Living Wage Calculator for Dallas County by Resolution No. 15-2141. This contract renewal option includes the most current living wage of $15.21.
