Council approves hiring consultant to administer PID assessments for new subdivisions
Summary
After an RFP and scoring committee review, the council approved awarding Public Improvement District administrative consultant services to Municap (vendor name variously rendered) subject to final legal and city manager review; consultant fees will be paid from future PID assessments, not the city’s general fund.
The Navasota City Council voted Sept. 8, 2025 to approve a contract for Public Improvement District (PID) administrative consultant services recommended by staff and a three‑person scoring committee.
Lupe Diostado, development services director, told the council the city issued an RFP on July 23 and received two sealed proposals. Diostado said the scoring committee (development staff, economic development coordinator and city manager) ranked Municap higher based on demonstrated examples of prior work and slightly more favorable fees. Diostado said Municap staff were present to answer questions.
Council and staff clarified that a PID is an assessment on property in new subdivisions at the developer’s request and is not a tax on existing homeowners. Diostado said PID fees and any consultant charges would be paid from PID assessments, not from the city’s general fund. Staff further noted PID bonds, if issued later, would be secured by PID assessments and generally carry slightly higher interest because assessments, not ad valorem taxes, secure them.
On a motion "by Mr. Gessner, seconded by Mr. Fulkes," council approved awarding PID administrative consultant services to Municap, with final contract language to be approved by legal counsel and the city manager.
Council directed staff to proceed with contract finalization and to return final documents for signature after legal review.
