Executive Summary
Approval of this request will allow Garland/DBS, Inc. ("Garland") to restore the leasing office
building's roof at One Quail Place Apartments to repair the deteriorated roof. An allowance
amount is also being requested as part of the approval in the event the subfloor is
damaged.
Staff is recommending the award of contract to Garland, in an amount not to exceed
$47,476 for the base contract with an allowance for damaged wood not to exceed $13,000,
plus 20% contingency for unforeseen conditions not to exceed $9,495.
Background Analysis
The Authority Board authorized the use of Garland/DBS, Inc. ("Garland") for roof
management assessment, repairs and related services. Garland completed a roof
assessment of the leasing office at One Quail Place and found that the underlayment
material has deteriorated and is almost non-existent in some locations of the roof.
Garland is recommending a restoration of the building's roof that will include replacement of
the entire roof. The existing roof is original from when the community was built in 1985 and
has had very minimal repairs to date. The proposed roof restoration includes a two (2) year
workmanship warranty and a ten (10) year material warranty.
The Authority would like to enter into an agreement with Garland through the U.S.
Communities Contract No. 14-5903 (A copy is on file with the City of Palm Desert's City
Clerk) to complete the proposed Project. U.S. Communities is a cooperative purchasing
organization, established through a collaborative effort to assist public agencies and non-
profits across the United States with the specific purpose of reducing procurement costs by
leveraging group volume. U.S. Communities accomplishes this by soliciting proposals and
awarding contracts that are held by a principal procurement agency for commonly
purchased products and services at prices that have been assessed to be fair, reasonable,
and competitive.
Under the U.S. Communities established pricing, the maximum price an agency will be
charged under the agreement would be approximately $93,258. However, Garland
procured bids from three local contractors in an effort to provide an even lower market
adjusted price for the Project. R&R Roofing / Waterproofing Inc., Subcontracting Roofing
Company, of Lake Elsinore, provided the lowest bid to Garland in the amount of $47,476
plus $5.42 per square foot to replace damaged subfloor (total roof square footage is
approximately 4,000 square feet).
Staff recommends that the Authority Board authorize a contract with Garland for the Project.
Staff also recommends that the Executive Director be authorized to review and approve

Housing Authority — Authorize award of contract with Garland/DBS, Inc.; O.Q. Leasing Office

written requests for the use of the contingency for unforeseen conditions that require
additional work.
Fiscal Analysis
The fiscal impact of this contract is the cost of the contract itself in an amount not to exceed
$47,476 with an additional allowance for damaged wood not to exceed $13,000, plus 20%
contingency for additional unforeseen conditions that may be necessary not to exceed
$9,495, which will be paid from the FY 2017/2018 Authority's capital replacement budget.
