Subject:
Discussion and possible action to authorize the Purchasing Agent to solicit formal Requests for Qualifications for a roofing consultant to prepare design plans, technical specifications and provide site presence and construction oversight for the removal and installation of a new waterproof roofing system based upon existing conditions at the Webb County Justice Center Building and any other matters incident thereto.
Issue: The Justice Center Building roof has leaked on multiple occasions during heavy rains. Webb County does not have the expertise to perform a thorough inspection of the roof and/or to prepare detail specifications and plans for vendors to submit formal bids for the removal and installation of a new roof to prevent further damage to County property due to water penetrating the roof during heavy rains.
Solution: Authorize the solicitation of a professional roof consultant to prepare a detailed assessment of roof condition and to further prepare plans and technical specifications to remove existing roof and install a new roofing system to prevent any further damage to building and its contents.
Result: Proceed with the formal solicitation of RFQ and return to court with a recommendation to award.
