These contracts furnish all materials, labor, tools, equipment, and parts necessary to provide on-site standby plumbing repair services on an “as needed” basis for Fulton County facilities.
The Scope of Work includes but not limited to:
1. Repairing/replacing and installing water mains, water lines, re-routing water supply lines, storm water and sewer lines, manholes, grating, and retention basins.
2. Installing, repairing, and replacing fixtures such as faucets, mixing valves, toilets, urinals, tubs, sinks, kitchen sinks, ball valves, angle/straight stops, pressure-reducing valves, and any commercial plumbing fixture such as floor sinks, dishwashers, any specialty kitchen/bathroom.
3. Installing and repairing water heaters, sump pumps, circulation pumps and plumbing for icemakers. Installation and adjustment of drinking water fountains, repairing irrigation sprinkler systems, and minor masonry repair jobs caused by plumbing work.
Community Impact: These services are necessary for environmental health and to have working plumbing systems to protect the patrons and employees in County facilities.
Department Recommendation: The Department of Real Estate and Asset Management recommends approval.
DREAM does not have enough remaining spending authority ($43,158.00) to cover these high priority plumbing jobs and to maintain and operate routine maintenance/repair of plumbing system throughout the County for the reminder of FY2023. The requested increase in the total amount of $46,328.00 is critical and will allow the two Standby Plumbing Contractors to provide the immediate plumbing repair/replacement jobs at these two identified County facilities.
The project management for plumbing repair/replacement jobs is coordinated by the Department of Real Estate and Asset Management Building Maintenance Team of Greater Fulton.
Project Implications: These services are necessary for environmental health and to have working plumbing systems to protect the patrons and employees in County facilities.
Community Issues/Concerns: None of which the Department is aware.
Department Issues/Concerns: If these increases in spending authorities are not approved, there will be a delay in addressing plumbing repair/replacement work in a timely or cost-effective manner.
