Council approves consent agenda and several procurement resolutions, including chemical contracts and fire equipment purchases
Summary
At its Jan. 13 meeting, the Pearland City Council approved the consent agenda and multiple procurement items: three water/wastewater chemical contracts, loose equipment packages for new fire apparatus, and other routine items. Most procurement items passed unanimously.
The Pearland City Council on Jan. 13 approved a slate of consent and procurement items, including unit-price chemical contracts for water and wastewater operations and the purchase of loose equipment packages for new fire apparatus.
Consent agenda: The council approved consent agenda items A through I by a 7-0 vote.
Chemical contracts: The council approved three separate resolutions for chemical supply contracts used by Pearland Water.
- Resolution R2025-ONE: Award to Univar in the estimated amount of $940,750 for specified chemical supplies for water and wastewater operations. The city said this is a unit-price contract with no cost increase.
- Resolution R2025-FOUR: Award to Hawkins in the estimated amount of $1,011,800 for a different group of chemical products.
- Resolution R2025-FIVE: Award to USALCO in the estimated amount of $585,000 for the remaining chemical products discussed.
City staff said these contracts are in the final year of renewals and will be rebid next year; the contracts are unit-price, so the city pays only for quantities actually used. Council approved each of the above chemical contract resolutions by unanimous votes (7-0).
Fire apparatus equipment: The council approved purchase of loose equipment packages from Siddons Martin in the amount of $530,233.99. Staff said the equipment will outfit one ladder truck and two pumpers currently on order, with estimated apparatus delivery dates in May and September 2026. The purchase was approved 7-0; staff explained warranties take effect when equipment is installed on the apparatus and that long lead times require placing equipment orders in advance.
Other items: Staff noted three of the chemical contracts were handled in new business and two were handled on the consent agenda based on contract value; staff also summarized planned rebidding next year for several unit-price contracts.
All motions on the consent and procurement items passed without dissent except where noted in the meeting record.
