This purchase was previously awarded by CM 2024-0589 to Walco, Inc. (low bidder). However, upon receipt of the purchase order, Walco, Inc. would not accept the City’s payment terms and conditions, making them non-responsive. Therefore, the purchase order was canceled, and we are now awarding to the next lowest bidder meeting specifications.
MWBE Participation:
Zero percentage goal document approved by the Office of Business Opportunity.
Hire Houston First:
The proposed award requires compliance with the City’s Hire Houston First (HHF) ordinance that promotes economic opportunity for Houston businesses and supports job creation. In this case Bevco Company Inc. does not meet the requirements for HHF designation; no HHF firms were within three percent.
