Sole Informal Bid Received March 11, 2022, for I05880 – Approve an award to Ranger Conveying and Supply Company Inc, in the total amount of $36,142.14 for the purchase a bar screen conveyor belt system for Houston Public Works.
Specific Explanation:
The Director of Houston Public Works (HPW) and the Chief Procurement Officer recommend that City Council approve an award to Ranger Conveying and Supply Company Inc, in the total amount of $36,142.14 for the purchase of a bar screen conveyor belt system and that authorization be given to issue a purchase order for Houston Public Works.
This is for the purchase of turnkey replacement of the 150-foot-long bar screen conveyor belt system from the existing channel frame at the Southwest Wastewater Treatment Plant. Belt conveyors are used to carry away screened materials like grit, dewatered sludge, or other materials to be properly disposed of.
This project was advertised in accordance with the requirements of the State of Texas bid laws for an informal procurement. Ranger Conveying and Supply Company Inc has already received $28,597.00 for other good and/or services this fiscal year. This purchase would put them above the $50,000 threshold and therefore requires Council action. Eight (8) prospective bidders downloaded the solicitation document from SPD’s e-bidding website and one (1) bid was received as outlined below:

Ranger Conveying and Supply Company Inc: Award on its overall low bid (sole bid) meeting specifications in the total amount of $36,142.14.
MWBE Participation:
This procurement is exempt from the City’s MWBE subcontracting requirements as the total expenditure does not exceed the $100,000.00 threshold. However, HPW does solicit bids through SPD’s e-bidding website which is promoted to all registered MWBE vendors.
Hire Houston First:
The proposed contract requires compliance with the City’s ‘Hire Houston First’ ordinance that promotes economic opportunity for Houston businesses, while supporting job creation. In this case, Ranger Conveying and Supply Company Inc does not meet the requirements of HHF designation, and no designated firms were within five percent.
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.
