Health and Safety (SR1700385911) – Approve a purchase in the total amount of $3,956,189.36 for various types of pumps (package 2) from AmeriMex Motor & Controls, LLC d/b/a All-Pump & Equip., Automatic Pump & Equipment Co., Inc., Hartwell Environmental Corporation, A DXP Company, Smith Pump Company, Inc., and Pump Solutions, Inc., for Houston Public Works.
Specific Explanation:
The Director of Houston Public Works and the Chief Procurement Officer recommend that City Council approve a purchase in the total amount of $3,956,189.36 for various types of pumps from AmeriMex Motor & Controls, LLC d/b/a All-Pump & Equip., Automatic Pump & Equipment Co., Inc., Hartwell Environmental Corporation, A DXP Company, Smith Pump Company, Inc., and Pump Solutions, Inc., for Houston Public Works (HPW).
This purchase consists of sixty-one (61) pumps for Houston Water’s Wastewater Operation (WWO) and Drinking Water Operations (DWO) service lines. These pumps will be used at wastewater treatment plants and lift stations, helping to prevent sanitary sewer overflows. The pumps for drinking water will be used at the water purification plants to move water efficiently and effectively and help maintain the stable operation of the purification system by adjusting water flow and pressure in real-time according to system needs. Maintaining facilities and plants is a Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) requirement. These systems are important for economic, environmental, and regulatory compliance.
HPW is seeking approval to realign the department’s pump procurement with our operational needs. Going forward, HPW and the Strategic Procurement Division will issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a multi-year pump contract, which will cover standardized models with local distributors. These distributors are fully versed in HPW’s performance and maintenance requirements.
This recommendation is made pursuant to Chapter 252, Section 252.022 (a) (2) of the Texas Local Government Code for exempted procurements, " which provides a procurement necessary to preserve or protect the public health or safety of the municipality's residents.”
