Council awards three sanitary-sewer rehabilitation contracts totaling about $430,000; engineering adds $49,900
Summary
El Campo approved multiple sanitary sewer rehabilitation resolutions awarding Ramrod Utilities LLC projects for Main Street/Lundy and North Mechanic/Washington and authorized staff to execute contracts; combined project cost plus engineering is $853,657 with bond proceeds covering work.
The El Campo City Council approved a series of resolutions on July 14 to award sanitary sewer rehabilitation work to Ramrod Utilities LLC for multiple locations and authorized the city manager to execute the contracts.
Staff described the Main Street and Lundy Avenue project — sanitary mains and manholes between Mayfield Avenue and East Calhoun Street — as having a history of malfunction and "subject to imminent failure." The council approved Resolution R-2025-33 to award that work to Ramrod at $201,009.72; staff also noted an associated engineering contract of $49,900 that would be awarded in tandem.
Council later approved Resolution R-2025-34 to award rehabilitation services for North Mechanic Street and Washington Street to Ramrod for $228,594. City staff said the three sewer projects together, including engineering for all three, total $853,657 and that $1,478,000 in bond proceeds remain available. After the awards, staff reported a remaining bond balance of $624,608 and recommended holding funds for potential change orders on other sewer projects.
During discussion, staff explained the procurement used interlocal cooperative pricing (TIPS), which produced the single contractor pricing used in the awards; staff said the contractors bid competitively under the cooperative purchasing system. The council approved the resolutions by voice vote; motions and seconds are recorded with "All in favor? Motion passes." City staff indicated they will sign contracts following council acceptance of the awards.
No roll-call vote tallies were recorded in the meeting transcript provided.
