Background:
Due to the age of the building, some of the pneumatically actuated fire/smoke dampers located within the HVAC ducts at the Ridgedale Regional Center have begun to fail. These dampers are critical because they close automatically upon detection of heat to interrupt airflow and restrict the passage of flame.
This project will replace the dampers with modern electronically actuated dampers and remove unnecessary dampers due to changing building codes and building occupancy. The upgraded system will save energy, ensure safety, and eliminate unnecessary complexity.
Through a best value procurement process, a Request for Proposals was released on February 27, 2024. Three (3) proposal was received. Based on the results of interviews with the proposers’ key staff, MCC Industries, Inc. DBA KMS Construction, received the highest score, based on its cost, written submittals, and interview. Staff recommends that MCC Industries, Inc. DBA KMS Construction be awarded this contract.
Using the set-aside authority enables the county to have a portion of the construction work delivered by an Emerging Small Businesses Enterprise general contractor from the Department of Community Corrections and Rehabilitation's Community Productive Day Construction Partnership Program. General contractors are qualified for this program based on their demonstrated success employing and training individuals on probation. The selected general contractor will be required to employ and provide on-the-job training during the performance of their contract for not less than 10 percent of the contract's total labor hours.
Current Request:
This is a request to award a set-aside Contract FC00000131 to MCC Industries, Inc. DBA KMS Construction for the Ridgedale Damper Replacement project, $763,000.
Impact/Outcomes:
This project will replace the fire/smoke dampers in the Ridgedale Regional Center and improve a county asset.
