S17-E29622 - Approve a payment to SET Environmental, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $93,593.49 for Lime Tank Cleaning and Repair for Houston Public Works.
Specific Explanation:
The Director of Houston Public Works and the Chief Procurement Officer recommend that City Council approve a payment to SET Environmental, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $93,593.49 for lime tank cleaning and repair for Houston Public Works.
The Strategic Procurement Division issued an emergency purchase order to SET Environmental, Inc. on or about May 29, 2020 for lime tank cleaning and repair at the East Water Purification Plant. One of the two bulk lime tanks at the East Water Purification Plant was down and could not be put back into service until an estimated 20,000 gallons of lime was removed and disposed of to allow for inspections and repairs. If the lime tank was not repaired, the production of treated water would have been negatively impacted. SET Environmental, Inc. was selected for their quality of services and the immediate response time to address the emergency. It was imperative that the contractor could mobilize and perform the work services immediately to ensure the water plant would remain operational. The final invoice was received and reconciled on June 12, 2020.
The scope of work requires the contractor to provide all permits, insurance, labor, materials, supervision and the transport of debris removal necessary.
This recommendation is made pursuant to section 252.022(a)(2) of the Texas Local Government Code, which provides that a procurement necessary to preserve or protect the public health or safety of the municipality's residents" is exempt from the competitive bidding process."
