Background:

Sole Source (WS1275411473) - Approve the purchase of SAFE Boat refurbishment services from the sole source supplier SAFE Boats International, LLC. in the total amount of $293,946.70 for the Mayor’s Office of Public Safety and Homeland Security, on behalf of the Houston Police Department.

Specific Explanation:

The Director of the Mayor’s Office of Public Safety and Homeland Security and the Chief Procurement Officer recommend that City Council approve the purchase of SAFE Boat refurbishment services for the Houston Police Department from sole source supplier, SAFE Boat International, LLC., in the amount of $293,946.70.

This purchase will cover the refurbishment of SAFE boat 42427, which has been in use by the Houston Police Port Patrol for over 10 years. During that time, the boat deteriorated and became outdated.

This recommendation is made pursuant to subsection 252.022(a)(7) of the Texas Local Government Code, which provides that "a procurement of items that are available from only one source..." is exempt from the competitive requirements for purchases.
