10.B. (MG) AWARD OF WEST GATE CANOPY REPAINTING PROJECT

Description:

This item is submitted for Board approval for the issuance of a Purchase Order to Pro-Tech Industrial Services in the amount of $174,250.00 for upkeep of the West Gate Canopy in order to maintain its value and minimize deterioration according to routine maintenance.

The Mississippi State Port Authority (MSPA) solicited quotes from four contractors on March 24, 2025. We received 2 quotes from Shoemake Painting and Pro-Tech Industrial Services. While Shoemake Painting submitted the lowest base quote of $62,930.00 (exclusive of additional fees for rolling and premium hours), MSPA recommends awarding this maintenance service contract to Pro-Tech Industrial Services for $174,250. Pro-Tech has successfully completed similar work for MSPA in 2019, and based on their performance and familiarity with our facility requirements, we believe they are best suited to complete this project effectively. The scope and details of the required work are outlined in the submitted quotes for your review.
