Background:

Emergency Purchase Order (P23-WS1031948929.A1) Amend Council Motion No. 2024-0281, passed on April 17, 2024, to increase the spending authority from $4,400,000.00 to $7,300,000.00 to PM Construction & Rehab, LLC for additional repairs to a sanitary sewer line for Houston Public Works.

 

Specific Explanation:

The Chief Operating Officer of Houston Public Works (HPW) and the Chief Procurement Officer recommend that City Council amend Council Motion No. 2024-0281 to increase the spending authority from $4,400,000.00 to $7,300,000.00 to PM Construction & Rehab, LLC for additional sanitary sewer line repairs for Houston Public Works. 

 

The Chief Procurement Officer issued an emergency purchase order (EPO) to PM Construction & Rehab, LLC, on January 25, 2024. This EPO was approved by City Council on April 17, 2024, by Motion No. 2024-0281 in the amount not to exceed $4,400,000.00.  On August 13, 2024, the Chief Procurement Officer amended the original EPO to increase the spending authority to $7,300,000.00.  The additional funds are required due to the expanded scope of work resulting from unforeseen conditions that occurred during construction. The additional scope includes an altered downstream 54-inch monolithic reinforced concrete (MRC) sewer rehabilitation method due to poor structural conditions, bypass pumping operation extension, and extra traffic control.
