Emergency Purchase Order for E32557 – Approve final payment to Hartwell Environmental Corporation in the amount of $216,900.39 for emergency repair parts for Houston Public Works.
Specific Explanation:
The Director of Houston Public Works (HPW) and the Chief Procurement Officer recommend that City Council approve payment to Hartwell Environmental Corporation in the total amount of $216,900.39 to purchase parts to make repairs for a bar screen at the 69th St. Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) and that authorization be given to issue a purchase order for Houston Public Works.
The Strategic Procurement Division issued an emergency purchase order to Hartwell Environmental Corporation on June 23, 2022, to address the emergency repairs required on a bar screen located at the 69th St. WWTP. The rear guide rail of the bar screen bent and caused it to collapse, which caused sprockets and other parts to the bar screen to be damaged. Repairing the bar screen was essential to maintain the collection system.
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.”
