McAllen commission awards contract for two UTV medic units and selects concrete service contractor
Summary
The commission authorized purchase of two off‑road UTV medic units through a governor's grant and awarded a one‑year concrete service contract to a local bidder with options to extend.
The McAllen City Commission authorized two procurement actions during the meeting: the purchase of two off‑road UTV medic units for event and parade use and the award of a service contract for various concrete work across city departments.
The commission approved a contract award to ASAP Off Road Specialty Vehicles for $186,009.24 to purchase two UTV medic units. Staff said the purchase is funded by a governor’s office grant (fiscal year 2025 Waterstone Fire Departments grant program), with $87,000 already approved as reimbursement; purchases will be on a reimbursement basis with no local match and a budget amendment will be processed to cover upfront costs until reimbursement occurs. A city speaker identified the purchase purpose as medic units used at events such as marathons and parades.
Separately, staff recommended and the commission approved a one‑year service contract for various concrete flatwork, drainage and related tasks with 365 Builders LLC of Mission, Texas, for $87,986.66 (certain line items excluded). Staff described the contract as a citywide supply contract used by parks, public utilities, public works, engineering and traffic departments for small construction projects; the contract includes authorization for the city manager to extend for two additional one‑year terms subject to satisfactory performance and unchanged unit prices.
Both awards were approved by voice vote; no written or roll‑call objections were recorded in the transcript.
