Emergency Purchase Order (E32500) – Approve final payment to NBG Constructors, INC in the total amount of $309,185.48 for emergency repairs to the Rosemont Pedestrian Bridge for Houston Public Works.
Specific Explanation:
The Director of Houston Public Works (HPW) and the Interim Chief Procurement Officer recommend that City Council approve final payment in the total amount of $309,185.48 for the emergency repair of the Rosemont pedestrian bridge and that authorization be given to issue a purchase order to NBG Constructors, INC for Houston Public Works.
The Strategic Procurement Division issued an emergency purchase order to NBG Constructors, INC on May 6, 2022, to address the emergency repair work to the Rosemont pedestrian bridge. This structure is a dual pedestrian bridge that connects Allen Parkway and Memorial Drive east and west. During a routine inspection, it was discovered that the south column foundation of the lower level was exposed, most likely from several high-water events, and that a fixed joint was sheared off due to movement of the bridge. The anchor bolts on the north abutment were also dislocated. The repair work included rehabilitation of the column foundation with helical piles with concrete capping around the column and complete join replacement.
This recommendation is made pursuant to Chapter 252, Section 252.022 (a) (2) of the Texas Local Government Code for exempted procurements, " which provides a procurement necessary to preserve or protect the public health or safety of the municipality's residents.”
