Council unanimously reopens bids for state lobbying services to broaden applicant pool
Summary
After executive-session consultation on state lobbying service contracts, the Eagle Pass City Council voted unanimously to reopen the bidding process and solicit additional applications so more firms or individuals may apply.
The council reviewed state lobbying service contracts during executive session under Texas Government Code chapter 551.071 and voted unanimously to reopen the bid process. Councilman Garcia moved to reopen the bids and put the contract out for new proposals; Councilwoman Cruz seconded the motion.
Council members discussed repeating the solicitation so "more people could apply," and approved reopening the process without additional details on scope, budget, or evaluation criteria in open session. The council's action was procedural: staff will reissue the request for bids; the procurement timeline and criteria were not provided in the meeting record.
No firm budget or contractor names were announced at the meeting; council asked that the reopening be carried out to attract additional applicants.
