<br />REPORTS FROM THE CITY MANAGER
<br />
<br /> 86-260 Letter from the City Manager recommending
<br />$76,~000 and award of a contract for the replacement and
<br />Roof.
<br />
<br />approvaI of an ordinance appropriating
<br />repair of the Vehicle Service Center
<br />
<br /> "~he 1985 Capital Improvemen~ Budget authorized funding for roof replacement and repairs
<br />to municipal facilities. For the current year, the Vehicle Service Center's roof was identifi
<br />as the highest priority. A new 150 linear foot aluminum fool is to be installed with proper
<br />flashings and fasteners. All gutters and conductor pipes on the entire building with the
<br />exclusion of the body shop are to be included.
<br />
<br /> The project was advertised an~ bid and the responsible sole bidder was Roof-Tech, Inc.,
<br />o~ Virginia Beach with a bid of $71,000. The Director of General Services has investigated
<br />Roof~Tech, Inc., regarding qualifications, work performance and £inancial status, and he
<br />recommends award of this contract to the sole bidder. According to the Cit)'s Purchasing
<br />Agent, Roof~Tech, Inc. was the responsible low bidder for the Joseph E. Parker Center roof
<br />repair project which is currently underway. The total project cost is $76,000 which includes
<br />a ~% contingency.
<br />
<br />I, therefore, recommend appropriation of $76,000 and award of the contract to Roof-Tech, !nc.
