Hurricane Damages: Choice Facility Partners poised to assist with restoration, disaster recovery

Posted by Choice Facility Partners in Houston-Sugar Land-Baytown, TX on Sep 19, 2008

Hurricane damages occured to structures in cities, counties, schools, colleges and more along the Texas coast and even inland. Now many entities are facing significant reconstruction, repair, recovery and possible retrofitting as a result of the hurricane damages. The roofs of many buildings have been torn off, causing internal water damage, breakage of contents, severe property damage and a dangerous weakening of interior structural elements, including load-bearing walls. For school districts, cities, counties and other governmental agencies to re-enter and reuse their buildings, much has to occur to repair the hurricane damages and reclaim structural integrity.

That’s where Choice Facility Partners’ competitively pre-bid contracts can help. Choice Facility Partners contracts can be used to rebuild hurricane damaged facilities, making an immediate and significant difference for schools, cities, counties and colleges on a short time-line. Competitively pre-bid contracts are available for Disaster Recovery, Roofing, Permanent Modular Buildings and Job Order Contracting, to repair hurricane damages.

How to take advantage of CFP

Many school districts have already signed an interlocal agreement with Choice Facility Partners or its parent Harris County Department of Education, (which is not affiliated with the governmental entity of Harris County). Those school districts may immediately access the competitively bid contracts and can simply begin their restoration using these trusted partners. Other entities can repair hurricane damages using these contracts by simply signing an interlocal agreement with Choice Facility Partners. There is no cost to the eligible entities.

Disaster Recovery

Roadrunner Restoration, a subsidiary of Progressive Fire and Flood, Inc., provides disaster restoration and recovery services for damages resulting from fire, water, wind, smoke, airborne contaminants, corrosion, and hurricane damages.

Roofing

Hydro-Stop Inc LLC provides PremiumCoat sustainable roofing and waterproofing systems. The system is one of the highest quality roofing and waterproofing systems available. It is made of the best raw materials to form a flexible, UV resistant elastomeric compound and is fully reinforced with a tough non-woven polyester fabric which has been designed for roofing and flashing applications of all types. Solve your roof repair worries from hurricane damages.

Permanent Modular Buildings

Comark Building Systems and Fibrebondcan quickly install modular and concrete buildings on site to provide accelerated education, governmental and healthcare facilities. Permanent modular construction is very cost effective, and projects are typically completed far faster than site build; the facilities are constructed with mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems then delivered to the site. Choice Facility Partners has competitively bid contracts with these two companies, both of which could be used to provide replacements for buildings destroyed by hurricane damages.

Job Order Contracting

Job order contracts for remodeling and renovation are particularly useful during emergency situations like Hurricane Ike, where hurricane damages have wreaked havoc on public facilities. Job Order Contracts are continuous work arrangements, where the contractor builds a relationship with the building owner, and collaborates to provide the best construction service possible, even when repairing hurricane damages. The contracts are performance-based, so there is motivation for the contractor to provide good service to keep the project. And by using Choice Facility Partners, the building owner has options; there are multiple Job Order Contract partners to choose from.
