S84-E29199 - Approve payment to SET Environmental, Inc. in the amount not to exceed $75,922.90 for Hazardous Chemical Lime Slurry Spill Clean-up Service for the Houston Public Works.
Specific Explanation:
The Director of the Houston Public Works and the Chief Procurement Officer recommend that City Council approve payment to SET Environmental, Inc. in the amount not to exceed $75,922.90 for hazardous chemical spill clean-up service for the Houston Public Works.
The Strategic Procurement Division issued an emergency purchase order to SET Environmental, Inc. on May 22, 2019, to address the hazardous chemical lime slurry spill clean-up at the East Water Purification Plant, located at 2300 Federal Rd., Houston, Texas 77015. The system had a pump malfunction of the lime slurry circulation pump system. Houston Public Work's responsibility is to quickly respond to any hazardous material spills and prevent any potential exposure to hazardous materials to the public and environmental fines. SET Environmental, Inc. was selected for its quality of services and the immediate response time to address the emergency health and safety situation. It was imperative that the contractor could mobilize and perform the work services to ensure the East Water Purification Plant could remain operational. This hazardous chemical spill clean-up service was completed on July 23, 2019.
The scope of work requires the contractor to provide all permits, insurance, labor, materials, supervision and the transport of hazardous materials removal necessary.
This recommendation is made pursuant to Chapter 252, Section 252.022 (a) (7) (A) of the Texas Local Government Code for exempt procurements, “which provides a procurement necessary to preserve or protect the public health or safety of the municipality’s residents”.
