Health and Safety (P23-WS1302652278) - Approve spending authority to Park Environmental Equipment, LLC, in the total amount of $99,750.00 for water meter vaults for Houston Public Works.
Specific Explanation:
The Chief Operating Officer of Houston Public Works (HPW) and the Chief Procurement Officer recommend that City Council approve spending authority to Park Environmental Equipment, LLC in the total amount of $99,750.00 for water meter vaults for Houston Public Works.
These concrete meter vaults house potable water products such as valves, backflow devices, and water meters. They provide a safe, watertight environment for monitoring and maintaining water systems. This request is for the replacement of damaged vaults at several locations within the City of Houston.
- 9220 Bellwod
- 1701 Upland Dr.
- 4802 Lockwood
- 7206 Avenue O
- 501 E. 13th
- 12600 Ashford Point
- 7800 Fannin
- 2911 Broadway
- 6200 Ranchester
- 6100 Elm St.
The vaults at these locations are wholly or partially deteriorated or have completely caved in, causing a safety concern for the public. They cover significant areas of the ground, which contain large water meters and water lines. Not replacing these vaults could lead to someone being injured, water loss and damaged meters.
SPD has attempted to solicit a formal contract for this work; however, HPW was unsatisfied with the two (2) bidders. Therefore, the solicitation will go back out for bids.
