Background Information:
The Department of General Services Administration (GSA) is seeking to re -caulk the exterior walls and
windows at the Miami Riverside Center Building (MRC) due to deterioration of sealants around the walls and
windows. This is a result of hurricanes and normal wear and tear; and is causing the MRC to be vulnerable to
water intrusion from wind driven rain. Re -caulking the exterior walls and windows is now necessary to prevent
this and, to prevent further damage to the MRC's interior. GSA's MRC Division, in conjunction with the
Purchasing Department, have analyzed the bids received pursuant to Invitation For Bid No. 51025,2. Four
responses were received. After evaluating the bid responses and noting the price differences between V.I.P
Painting, Inc. and the other three bid responses, V.I.P's references were called by the Purchasing Department to
verify the quality of their work. All references confirmed that they were very satisfied with the quality of
work; the jobs were performed on buildings of 18 stories or less; the work included removal of old caulking
and new caulking applied to the windows and frames; major cracks in exterior walls were repaired; and the
buildings were repainted. Additionally, all State and local licensing/certifications are current as a General
Contractor and cover most counties in South Florida. The bid from V.I.P. Painting, Inc. was deemed the lowest
most responsible and responsive bidder meeting specifications, and is therefore recommended for the award.
