Emergency Purchase Order for S21-E29715 - Approve payment to Ty Art, LLC for the relocation of civic art monuments in the amount not to exceed $96,600.00 for the General Services Department.
Specific Explanation:
The Director of the General Services Department (GSD) and the Chief Procurement Officer request that City Council approve payment to Ty Art, LLC for the relocation of civic art monuments in the amount not to exceed $96,600.00 for GSD and that authorization be given to issue a purchase order.
The Strategic Procurement Division issued an emergency purchase order to address the removal and relocation of monuments to prevent vandalism to City property. The monuments located at Hermann and Bell Parks were secured and delivered to a City warehouse for proper preservation and storage. Such action was deemed urgently necessary in order to protect the monuments and other City property from the potential threat of damage. The contractor was selected by GSD based on their availability and responsiveness to remove, relocate, secure, and deliver the monuments to the designated location. GSD has reconciled and verified the final invoice received for emergency work services completed on June 19, 2020.
The scope of work requires the contractor to provide all labor, equipment, scaffolding, materials and transportation for the relocation of the civic art monuments.
This recommendation is made pursuant to subsection 252.022(a)(2) of the Texas Local Government Code, which provides that “a procurement necessary to protect the public health and safety of the municipality's residents" is exempt from competitive bidding.
