Summary:

HI-LITE AIRFIELD SERVICES, LLC. for Emergency Purchase of Rubber Removal Services for the Houston Airport System - $426,259.68 - Enterprise Fund

Background:

Emergency Purchase Order (P33- WS1228927598) - Approve final payment in the amount not to exceed $426,259.68 to Hi-Lite Airfield Services, LLC. for the purchase of rubber removal services for the Houston Airport Systems.

 

Specific Explanation:

The Director of the Houston Airport Systems and the Chief Procurement Officer recommend that City Council approve final payment in the amount not to exceed $426,259.68 to Hi-Lite Airfield Services, LLC for the purchase of rubber removal services performed at Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) and Hobby Airport (HOU).

 

The Chief Procurement Officer issued an emergency purchase order to Hi-Lite Airfield Services, LLC. on March 28th, 2024, for rubber removal services performed at IAH and HOU airports.  The rubber removal services were vital to the continued operations of the runways, as the rubber build-up had caused safety concerns that required cautionary “notice to air emissions” (NOTAM) to be provided to pilots before landing, and caused modified flight schedules, impacting the National Airspace System scheduling nationwide.  Final invoice has been submitted by the contractor and vetted by HAS for payment.
