Rationale:
|
One of the unintended consequences of the long duration building closures in the spring and summer of 2020 was the stagnation of the domestic water in the building water distribution piping. Out of an abundance of caution, the Department has engaged H2M Architects & Engineers, currently in charge of the District’s “Lead in Water Remediation” program, to oversee building flushing and water sampling & testing to confirm that all water in the buildings was fresh and ready for consumption for the school opening on October 5, 2020.
Their initial proposal was not to exceed $22,500.00. However the actual work was done for $13,819.50.
An RFP was not issued since H2M was most familiar with the building water systems and the work was done on a time and material basis under their current requirements contract, which was awarded under an RFP. |
