SPECIFIC EXPLANATION:
The Director of Houston Public Works and the Chief Procurement Officer recommend that City Council approve payment to Allstate Groundwater Control, L.P. in the amount not to exceed $222,018.00 for the repair of groundwater control system for Houston Public Works.
The Strategic Procurement Division issued an emergency purchase order to address the repair of the groundwater control system in the Easthaven Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) located at 8545 Scranton Street, Houston, Texas 77075. The sludge pipe at clarifier no. 4 required immediate repair and replacement to stop the unauthorized discharge of wastewater. Houston Public Works selected Allstate Groundwater Control, L.P. for its quality of services and the immediate response time to address the emergency health and safety concerns. It was imperative that the vendor could mobilize and perform the services to ensure the Easthaven WWTP could remain operational and in compliance. The work was completed November 15, 2019.
The scope of work required the vendor to provide all labor, permits, insurance, materials, supervision and the transport of debris removal.
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”.
