S64-S29821 – Approve spending authority to purchase liquid deodorizer from State Industrial Products Corporation through the Texas Multiple Award Schedule (TXMAS) Program in the amount not to exceed $2,550,000.00 for various departments.
Specific Explanation:
The Chief Procurement Officer recommends that City Council approve spending authority to purchase liquid deodorizer from The Texas Multiple Award Schedule (TXMAS) Program in the amount not to exceed $2,550,000.00 for various departments and that authorization be given to make purchases, as needed, from the State contractor State Industrial Products Corporation. The TXMAS contract term is from August 6, 2021 through September 10, 2025, with one one-year option.
The liquid deodorizer will be used by Houston Public Works and the General Services Department to control offensive odors common to sewage treatment plants, lift stations, holding tanks and landfills. This formula slowly releases a pleasant cherry aroma continuously while eliminating odors both in the air and at the source. Cherri-D is dripped directly into sewage lines, filter screens, sludge beds, septic tanks, landfills, or plant influent.
This recommendation is made pursuant to subsection 271.102(c) of the Texas Local Government Code, which provides that "a local government that purchases goods or services [from a cooperative purchasing program or organization] satisfies any state law requiring the local government to seek competitive bids for the purchase of the goods or services.”
