Issue
ISSUE
The existing as-needed glass replacement and installation services four-year base contract term expires on August 31, 2023. Due to the ongoing broken glass vandalism targeted at elevators and map cases systemwide, there is insufficient contract authority remaining. To avoid lapse in service and continue providing safe and timely glass replacement and installation services, a new contract award is required effective March 1, 2023.
Background
BACKGROUND
On August 14, 2019, Metro executed a four-year base, firm fixed unit rate Contract No. OP1405120003367 with Los Angeles Glass Company, Inc., a Metro certified Small Business Enterprise (SBE) to provide systemwide glass replacement and installation services, effective September 1, 2019.
Under the existing contract, the contractor is required to provide systemwide as-needed board-up for broken glass panels, along with glass replacement and installation services.
Due to the unprecedented increase within the past two (2) years of vandalized broken glass incidents targeted at elevators and map cases systemwide, there is insufficient authority remaining within the existing contract. To continue providing the required glass replacement and installation services, a new contract award is required effective March 1, 2023. This action is necessary to ensure service continuity while providing timely response and a safe environment for our patrons.
