This is to award the subject PO as per the attached amended emergency declaration for “Procurement of Goods & Services for COVID19 Response” issued by the Superintendent on July 27, 2020 amended on October 7 and October 23, 2020. The COVID response has required the District to (so far) engage the services of: an Architectural firm, 4 Engineering firms and an Environmental Hygienist all under current multiyear contract with the District. In addition five construction contractors under current contract with the District and four others added to the stable. In total the Facilities Department is managing fifteen vendors in 40 schools.
The work entailed is limited to District directed HVAC upgrades and improvements to optimize ventilation to meet SED requirements in all school buildings in response to the COVID19 pandemic. All work is paid for based on a time and material basis using prices as bid and awarded in the current service contract.
