SUMMARY STATEMENT:
This design PSA will provide bid ready contract documents, bidding assistance and construction administrative services to replace the defective water piping at the Gilson Middle School.
The middle school has experienced numerous leaks in multiple locations since opening in the fall of ’14 with the majority of the issues arising within the last year. The Charlotte brand of CPVC waterlines has become known for being defective. Charlotte is currently the subject of a class action lawsuit for the failures.
The project is currently in design and will be bid this spring for construction to take place during the summer break with completion by the start of school in August ’21.
The period of performance ends November 15, 2021.
RSA is the design firm of record for the original GMS project and is designing the piping replacement at the elementary and high school. The intent is to bid and execute this project concurrently with the aforementioned projects and use the remaining middle school bond proceeds to fund the work.
This report filed per City Procurement Code 2.80.040.
