Hays council authorizes RFQ/RFP to seek engineering help for FEMA hazard-mitigation projects
Summary
The council approved authorization to issue a requests-for-qualifications/request-for-proposals seeking engineering services to pursue FEMA public-assistance and hazard-mitigation funding, coordinating with Texas Division of Emergency Management and the Texas Water Development Board.
At a special meeting on Aug. 4, the presiding official introduced and the council approved a motion authorizing the City of Hays to issue a requests-for-qualifications/request-for-proposals (RFQ/RFP) for engineering services to pursue federal and state hazard-mitigation and public-assistance funding.
The presiding speaker described the item: “our 1 item is to consider, discuss, approve city of Hayes authorization to issue requests for qualifications RFP for engineering services for the Federal Emergency Management Agency, FEMA, public assistance, hazard mitigation assistance, funding administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Texas Division of Emergency Management and our Texas Water Development Board,” and then called for a motion. A motion was offered and seconded, the presiding official called for "all in favor," and the meeting was adjourned after the council took passage; the transcript records no roll-call tally.
The authorization directs staff to begin the procurement process to identify engineering firms that can support grant applications and project delivery for FEMA and related state funding streams. The transcript does not specify procurement deadlines, contract values, or the list of evaluation criteria; the presiding official offered to circulate the draft documents by email and anticipated the consultant or client-resources group would begin outreach the next day.
The council did not record a roll-call vote or individual vote tallies in the transcript; the motion was carried as announced by the presiding official.
