Emergency Purchase Order (E32932) – Approve spending authority in an amount not to exceed $565,299.29 for emergency repairs for ambulance module refurbishing and remodeling services from Frazer LTD for the Fleet Management Department.
Specific Explanation:
The Director of Fleet Management Department and the Chief Procurement Officer recommend that City Council approve spending authority in the amount not to exceed $565,299.29 for emergency repairs for ambulance module refurbishing and remodeling services for the Houston Fire Department and that authorization be given to issue purchase orders as needed for a period of four-months to Frazer LTD.
The Chief Procurement Officer issued an emergency purchase order to Frazer LTD., on July 6, 2023, for emergency repairs for ambulance module refurbishing and remodeling services for the Houston Fire Department. The Fleet Management Department (FMD) receives regular and continual requests for the repair, refurbishment, and remodeling of Ambulance Modules for Emergency Service vehicles for the Houston Fire Department (HFD). The current contract has expired; to not disrupt services to the community, FMD needs an emergency purchase order until a new contract is in place. The new procurement request has been received by SPD and is anticipated to be complete in four-months.
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.”
