Summary:

ROB MAC INDUSTRIES for Purchase of Disinfectant Spray for Houston Public Works - $5,550.00 - Enterprise Fund

Background:

I07168 - Informal Bids Received September 8, 2023.  Approve an award to Rob Mac Industries in the total amount of $5,550.00 for the purchase of disinfectant spray 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 Rob Mac Industries in the total amount of $5,550.00 for the purchase of disinfectant spray and that authorization be given to issue a purchase order for Houston Public Works.

 

This is for the purchase of 1,500 cans of disinfectant spray. This product is used by the Department facilities to clean, disinfect, and deodorize high traffic areas. This product penetrates and disinfects hard surfaces such as doorknobs, phones, and prevents the growth of mold, and kills 99.9% of germs and viruses that can cause illness. This product will be stored at HPW’s warehouses.

 

This project was advertised in accordance with the requirements of the State of Texas bid laws for an informal procurement. Rob Mac Industries has already received $50,000.00 for other goods and/or services this fiscal year. This purchase would put them above the $50,000 threshold and therefore requires Council action. Sixty-one (61) prospective bidders downloaded the solicitation document from SPD’s e-bidding website and thirty-eight (38) bids were received as outlined below:

Rob Mac Industries: Award on its overall low bid meeting specifications in the total amount of $5,550.00.

 

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, Rob Mac Industries, does not meet the requirements of HHF designation, and no certified firms were within five percent.

 

Fiscal Note:

Funding for this item is included in the FY24 Adopted Budget. Therefore, no Fiscal Note is required as stated in the Financial Policies.
