S25884 - Approve various awards, as shown below, in an amount not to exceed $6,881,358.00 for the emergency purchase of automotive and equipment replacement parts, repair services, and associated supplies and services for the Fleet Management Department.

Specific Explanation:

In order to ensure that the City of Houston is capable of responding to the needs of the citizens during normal and extraordinary events, the Director of the Fleet Management Department and the Chief Procurement Officer recommend that City Council approve various awards for the emergency purchase of automotive and equipment replacement parts, repair services, and associated supplies and services in an amount not to exceed $6,881,358.00.  These awards are a short term mechanism to ensure the health and safety of the general public by enabling the operating departments to provide critical services through the use of the City's fleet of mobile equipment.  These citywide department services include but are not limited to the following:

• Police and Fire Departments' emergency response capabilities;
• Solid Waste Management Department's general trash collection and Zika virus remediation efforts;

• Department of Public Works & Engineering road and traffic signal repairs and water/wastewater maintenance and operation; and
• Parks and Recreation Department's and Houston Airport System's ability to mow high weeds/grass, maintain right-of-way visibility and reduce habitat for vermin and vectors

The approval will enable equipment to be serviced and placed back into operational status quickly and efficiently, avoiding costly downtime of equipment and of the associated operations personnel.

The Strategic Purchasing Division (SPD) has begun work to competitively bid out all of these items and as each is ready, SPD will bring to City Council for approval.  Upon approval by City Council, the emergency purchase will be cancelled and replaced with a contract/award.

"Funding for this item is included in the FY17 Adopted Budget.  Therefore, no Fiscal Note is required as stated in the Financial Policy Ord. 2014-1078."

The various awards shall be as follows:
