Court renews disaster recovery services agreement with Ashboret Inc.; small CPI increase approved
Summary
The court approved an extension to the county's disaster recovery services contract with Ashboret Inc., carrying a small consumer price index increase (staff reported about a 3.19% adjustment) and noting alignment with the city's contract for debris management coordination.
Victoria County approved a renewal of its disaster recovery debris management contract with Ashboret Inc., continuing county coverage under an existing agreement that began in 2020 and has been extended in prior years with FEMA approval.
Rick, the county presenter on the item, summarized the contract history: the county executed the original contract in 2020, FEMA previously allowed a two-year extension, and each subsequent one-year extension is brought to the court. Rick said the county and city coordinate to use the same vendors because it can add points on procurement evaluation matrices when both jurisdictions bid together.
On the renewal, Rick said, “There is a small CPI increase… it's a 3 point, 3.9, I think, 3.19% increase on the pricing.” He added that the firm had recently inspected debris management sites and the county is prepared for the upcoming season.
The court voted to approve the renewal as presented. Staff did not report any changes to service scope beyond the CPI adjustment. The court did not discuss specific contract language or post-approval reporting requirements during the public portion of the meeting.
