Jacinto City authorizes second RFP for disaster debris removal after no bids
Summary
Following a failure to receive bids, the council authorized RFP #2 for disaster debris removal and said additional state/FEMA support may eliminate the city's local share for removal costs.
Jacinto City Council unanimously authorized a second request-for-proposals for disaster debris removal on Nov. 5 after staff reported the initial solicitation drew no bids. City Manager Lon D. Squyres told council FEMA requires specific procurement steps and that reissuing the RFP is a necessary Plan B to ensure the city complies with federal purchasing obligations.
Squyres said the Governor has agreed to pick up an additional 25% (previously the city's share under FEMA rules), meaning the removal could be fully covered by state or federal sources; council approved the authorization 5-0. The city said it will reissue the solicitation and continue outreach to potential contractors; no award timeline was provided.
