Emergency Purchase Order for E29971 – Approve payment to Jersey Equipment Co. of Houston, Inc. in the amount of $64,850.00 for the emergency purchase of two (2) ITT Goulds pumps with installation for Houston Public Works.
Specific Explanation:
The Director of Houston Public Works and the Chief Procurement Officer recommend that City Council approve payment to Jersey Equipment Co. of Houston, Inc. in the amount of $64,850.00 for the emergency purchase of two (2) ITT Goulds pumps with installation and that authorization be given to issue a purchase order.
The CPO issued an emergency purchase order to Jersey Equipment Co. of Houston, Inc. on or about May 27, 2021 for the purchase of two (2) ITT Goulds Model 3410 pumps with installation for District 175’s drinking water facility located at 7027 Ardmore St. The pumps needed to be replaced because they were obsolete and had been reworked multiple times over the years. One was no longer worth a rebuild and was offline. The second one was in danger of failing at any time. HPW reconciled invoices submitted by the vendor totaling $64,850.00.
This recommendation is made pursuant to subsection 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 requirements for purchases.
MWBE Participation:
This procurement is exempt from M/WBE subcontracting participation goal because the department utilized an emergency purchase order for this purchase.
Hire Houston First:
This procurement is exempt from the City’s Hire Houston First Ordinance. No bids were solicited because these services were obtained through an emergency purchase order.
Fiscal Note:
Funding for this item is included in the FY22 Adopted Budget. Therefore, no Fiscal Note is required as stated in the Financial Policies.
