REQUEST FOR AWARD OF CONTRACT TO JOHN HARRISON CONTRACTING IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $150,000 FOR THE 2015/16 H.V.A.C. MECHANICAL SYSTEMS MAINTENANCE SERVICES FOR PALM DESERT HOUSING AUTHORITY COMPLEXES (CONTRACT NO. HA34450). Management Analyst Veronica Tapia stated that two proposals were received for the HVAC Mechanical Systems for the entire Housing Authority complexes. The contractors were John Harrison Contracting from Banning and FM Thomas AC, Inc., from Brea, stating the proposals were vastly different because of the number of varying units involved. However, John Harrison, the current vendor, stood out completely not only on price but also for what their plan was to address issues at the complexes. The request is for an amount not to exceed $150,000 for the year, based on the average cost of $3,400. She recalled for the Council that John Harrison is the company that belongs to the Edison Program, stating that if residents qualify, the cost can be much lower; therefore, $150,000 can potentially go a long way. Funds have been budgeted for this purpose and the Housing Commission reviewed and approved it for recommendation to the Board. Member Tanner moved to, by Minute Motion: 1) Waive any irregularities and authorize award of the subject contract to John Harrison Contracting, Banning, California, in an amount not to exceed $150,000 for the 2015/16 HVAC Mechanical Maintenance Services for Palm Desert Housing Authority; 2) approve the draft agreement, substantially as to form, and authorize Authority Counsel to finalize; 3) authorize Palm Desert Housing Authority's Executive Director, or his designee, to finalize any documents necessary to effectuate the action taken herewith — monies have been included in the FY 2015-2016 Palm Desert Housing Authority's Repairs and Maintenance and Replacement Expense Budget for each complex. Motion was seconded by Spiegel and carried by a 5-0 vote (AYES: Harnik, Jonathan, Spiegel, Tanner, and Weber; NOES: None). 4 MINUTES PALM DESERT HOUSING AUTHORITY MEETING JULY 9, 2015 B. REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION OF THE USE OF THE HOME DEPOT U.S.A., INC., FOR ROOF REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR ON BUILDING#14 AT ONE QUAIL PLACE IN THE AMOUNT OF $38,686, ALONG WITH A CONTINGENCY OF $3,868.60, FOR A TOTAL NOT TO EXCEED $42,554.60 (CONTRACT NO. HA34660). Ms. Moore reported that Building 14 at One Quail Place has a roof leak and local vendors were contacted for a quote to repair or replace. However most of them would not pay prevailing wages, so staff sought out eight other companies, and Home Depot was the only one that responded. Therefore, at this time, staff would like to fix the roof on Building 14 by contracting with Home Depot, and in the next few months, obtain a consultant to assess all the roofs at One Quail Place for a comprehensive bid on the entire complex. Responding to question, she confirmed Home Depot was the only vendor that would pay prevailing wages on this small job. Vice Chairman Spiegel moved to, by Minute Motion, authorize: 1) Use of The Home Depot U.S.A., Inc., for Roof Replacement and Repair on Building #14 at One Quail Place in an amount not to exceed $42,554.60 ($38,686 contract amount and $3,868.60 contingency for unforeseen circumstances); 2) Executive Director to review and approve written requests for use of the $3,868.60 contingency for unforeseen conditions; 3) Palm Desert Housing Authority's Chairman and/or Executive Director, or his designee, to finalize and execute any documents necessary to effectuate the action taken herewith — monies have been included in the FY 2015-2016 Palm Desert Housing Authority's Operating Budget in the appropriate Authority Account.

HA34670). Ms. Moore stated the Housing Authority used to do renovations consistently, but when redevelopment was eliminated it came to a halt. Now staff deals more with emergency situations and addresses those first until it gets back on track with doing renovations consistently. With regard to this situation, there are varying reasons for having to complete the renovations on the proposed six units. She noted HD Supply did a nice job on the last renovations. Member Tanner moved to, by Minute Motion: 1) Authorize use of HD Supply Facilities Maintenance, LLP, for the repair and/or renovation of six (6) apartment units owned by the Palm Desert Housing Authority, utilizing the US Communities Government 5 MINUTES PALM DESERT HOUSING AUTHORITY MEETING JULY 9, 2015 Purchasing Alliance Contract and Rates, in a total amount not to exceed $232,535.90 (includes: proposed work estimated to be $199,896.27, permits estimated to be $11,500.00, and contingency of $21,139.63); 2) approve the draft agreement, substantially as to form, and authorize Authority Counsel to finalize; 3) authorize Palm Desert Housing Authority's Chairman and/or Executive Director, or his designee, to finalize and execute any documents necessary to effectuate the action taken herewith — monies have been included in the FY 2015-2016 Palm Desert Housing Authority's Budget in the appropriate Authority Replacement Reserve and/or Rehabilitation Accounts.
