Council approves procurement policy updates and authorizes RFPs for three $2M DRRP grants

May 14, 2026

Council approved procurement policy revisions required by the Texas General Land Office audit to align with CFR 200 and authorized solicitation of RFPs for three DRRP grants (each $2 million) for WWTP digesters, a Lane Street sewer line, and upgraded communications and backup power.

The full story

City Manager Squyres told council that the Texas General Land Office (GLO) audited the city's purchasing because Jacinto City received three DRRP grants reassigned from other cities; the GLO found the city's policies generally met federal standards but needed updates to align with current CFR 200 requirements. Squyres said the city worked with GrantWorks to prepare an updated purchasing policy that the GLO has already approved. Council voted 5–0 to adopt the revisions.
