Council awards sewer contract, equipment leases and accepts federal grant supplement
Summary
Council approved multiple procurement awards and accepted a supplemental Operation Stone Garden grant; awards included a sewer trunk-line contract, Vactor equipment lease, hot/cold mix supplier and other public-safety and IT purchases.
At its meeting on Monday, the Mission City Council authorized multiple procurement actions and accepted a supplemental federal grant to support police operations.
Major procurement and grant actions included:
- Award of the sanitary sewer trunk-line project (Glasgow to Bridal Road) to R.D.H. & Concrete LLC in the amount of $2,161,475.50; staff said the low bid came in below the engineering estimate. The project cost is to be reimbursed via a reimbursement agreement approved by the MRATERS (as noted in staff report).
- Authorization to lease two combination sewer Vactor units from Kenlock Equipment & Supply, Inc., under BuyBoard contracts for a five-year lease with maintenance and a $1,000,253.84 total lease price (60 monthly payments in the negotiated proposal). These units replace older equipment in the water-distribution/public-works fleet.
- Award of the hot- and cold-mix asphalt contract to Frontera Materials as the lowest responsible bidder; pricing and contract number were included in the staff recommendation (one-year base term with two optional one-year renewals).
- Authorization to purchase Fortinet firewalls for police and City Hall network segregation from Telepro for $44,304.52 (to provide PD network segregation and encryption for substations).
- Authorization to purchase an ambulance (Ford FR Intrepid) for Medic 6 from Simmons Martin Emergency Group, $172,767 (HCAC contract), and related NFPA firefighter physicals and wellness evaluations from LifeScan Wellness Center for $83,050 (sole source) for departmental health and screening.
- Authorization to accept a supplemental Operation Stone Garden grant (FY '22 program) in the amount of $104,934, with no local match, to acquire six all-terrain vehicles and three utility trailers for border security operational capacity.
Council voted unanimously to approve these awards and the grant acceptance. Staff noted some fleet replacements will arrive in April and May and that budgets and budget amendments were included in the packet where required.
The council also authorized other routine vendor purchases and surplus policies tied to equipment replacement; staff said some surplus options allow outside vendors to exercise reprocurement options.
