Informal Sole Bid Received April 8, 2022, for I05935 – Approve an award to Positive Impact Construction, LLC, in the total amount of $20,432.00 for the purchase of odor control tower maintenance and repair services 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 Positive Impact Construction, LLC in the total amount of $20,432.00 for the purchase of odor control tower maintenance and repair services and that authorization be given to issue a purchase order for Houston Public Works.
This is for the purchase of maintenance and repair services for two (2) odor control towers for the 11th Street Lift Station Wastewater Treatment Plant. This will allow HPW to repair non-operable equipment and provide needed maintenance to ensure the odor control towers continue to operate.
This project was advertised in accordance with the requirements of the State of Texas bid laws for an informal procurement. Positive Impact Construction, LLC has already received $49,377.00 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:

Positive Impact Construction, LLC: Award on its overall low bid meeting specifications in the total amount of $20,432.00.
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, Positive Impact Construction, LLC 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.
