Emergency Purchase Order (E32323) – Approve payment to DN Tanks, Inc. in the amount of $150,000.00 for the cleaning of two (2) concrete ground storage tanks at the Northeast Water Purification Plant for Houston Public Works.
Specific Explanation:
The Director of Houston Public Works and the Interim Chief Procurement Officer recommend that City Council approve payment to DN Tanks, Inc. in the amount of $150,000.00 for the cleaning of two (2) concrete ground storage tanks located at the Northeast Water Purification Plant and that authorization be given to issue a purchase order.
The Strategic Procurement Division issued an emergency purchase order to DN Tanks, Inc. on March 31,2022 to remove the sediment from a 10 million gallon and a 15 million gallon storage tank. DN Tanks, Inc. was on-site repairing tears in the baffle walls of the tanks under a separate purchase order when it was determined that the interior and exterior of the tanks had to be cleaned to remove sediment and remain in compliance of the permit. The amount of sediment was not known until the work began.
DN Tanks, Inc. high-pressure washed the exterior surfaces of the dome, the dome ring, and tank walls of both tanks to remove all foreign matter, dust, dirt, and all other surface contaminants. After completion of the high-pressure washing, they low-pressure washed and rinsed the interior. Houston Public Works has reconciled invoices submitted by the vendor, and this is the final payment for these services.
This recommendation is made pursuant to subsection 252.022(a)(3) of the Texas Local Government Code, which provides that " a procurement necessary because of unforeseen damage to public machinery, equipment, or other property” is exempt from the competitive requirements for purchases.
