Board of Contract and Supply opens bids for multiple city contracts, refers them to city clerk
Summary
The Board opened bids for radon mitigation, a police promotional exam, building MEP services, an engineering design consulting contract (27 bids) and equipment purchases; it extended one item to 03/09/2026 and voted to refer all opened bids to the city clerk.
The Board of Contract and Supply opened bids for several city contracts and referred the submissions to the city clerk for further review.
Chair (speaker 2) read each bid into the public record, saying, “There is 1 bid for item number 1. The bidder is Reels Project LLC, and they have bid $2,450.” The board recorded three bids for a Travis Police Department promotional examination (Miami Dade College School Justice Assessment Center — $41,550; National Testing Network — as read in the transcript, “75 $7,500”; and Morris and McDaniel Inc. — $13,000). The chair also announced that the Department of Public Property’s parking-lot cleaning item would be extended to 03/09/2026.
A large engineering design consulting solicitation drew 27 responses. The chair read a long list of firms and clarified a procedural point, noting that some responder forms listed a contact person on one line and the business name at the end of the form; the board read both pieces of information into the record as presented by bidders.
Other items opened included a Water Supply Board purchase of a 2026 John Deere 410L backhoe (two bids, Monroe Tractor — $184,545; Alta Equipment Co. — $298,000) and Department of Public Works supplier bids for snow/ice control for the 2025–26 season (bidder example read: Baxter Real Estate LLC / Landworks).
When the chair announced the opening was complete, the board voted to refer the opened bids to the city clerk’s office for processing and recordkeeping; the motion to refer (moved by Deputy Commissioner Richards) passed by voice vote.
The referrals mean procurement staff and city clerks will proceed with internal review, required approvals, and any subsequent contract awards or requests for counsel review.
