Special Purchase - Sherwin Williams - Compatible Paint for Century Center Skylight Steel Beams

Home Browse Search

Century Center Skylight Tubular Steel Paint Indiana Code 5-22-10-8 allows a purchasing agent to make a special purchase when the compatibility of equipment, accessories or replacement parts is a substantial consideration in the purchase and only one source meets the City's reasonable requirements. We request the Board to approve the purchase of Skylight Tubular Steel Paint as a Special Purchase under IC 5-22-10-8 as justified below. In 2009 and 2012, the Century Center remodeled two exterior entrances, the main (west) entrance on MLK Blvd. and the (south) entrance from the parking lot. As part of these projects, the existing skylight tubular steel was prepped, primed and painted. Painting of all of the rest of the skylight tubular steel at the Century Center is currently out to bid. A quote for the same paint used on the previous projects was obtained by City Engineering from Sherwin Williams for the Century Center so that all of the paint will match in color and not risk getting some other "non -matching, non -compatible" paint for this project, and to avoid a contractor mark up cost. Included with this request is the paint quote, paint specs, photos of the two entrances painted skylight tubular steel and a blueprint used on the south entrance with a description of how to and what paint to use on the skylight tubular steel beams. The funds to purchase the paint are from Hotel Motel Tax account 7304-42010-000-0099 Thank you for your consideration of this request. Scott Herczeg Director of Operations Century Center
