RE: Proposed DWSD Purchase Order No. 3044431
One-time replacement of ten overhead doors at two DWSD facilities
Secure Door, LLC
MOTION
Upon recommendation of Mamata Burgi, Procurement Manager, the Board of Water Commissioners for the City of Detroit, Water and Sewerage Department authorizes the Director to approve Purchase Order No. 3044431 to Secure Door, LLC for the replacement and installation of ten (10) overhead doors at two DWSD facilities for a total amount not-to-exceed $351,204. This also authorizes the Director to take such other action as may be necessary to accomplish the intent of this vote.
BACKGROUND / JUSTIFICATION
The Facilities department is responsible for all five (5) Detroit Water and Sewerage Department facilities. The Central Service Facility has seven overhead doors that need replacement and West Yard has three overhead doors requiring replacement. Over the years, these have become damaged due to vehicular traffic and/or have become inoperable due to their beyond-service-life age.
When doors become inoperable, deliveries need to be re-routed or, depending on the circumstance, turned away completely, which causes delays to operations. When doors are damaged in the open position it leaves the building occupants susceptible to cold temperatures, possible rodent inhabitation and security issues. This overhead door replacement contract will provide for the purchase, removal, purchase, installation, disposal and temporary onsite storage of ten new doors. The manufacturer provides a limited lifetime warranty.
