Emergency Purchase Order – DA-2025-0014 - Approve spending authority in the amount not to exceed $325,190.00 to Mustang Composite Services, LLC for grating and railing infrastructure repairs for Houston Public Works.
Specific Explanation:
The Director of Houston Public Works (HPW) and the Chief Procurement Officer recommend that City Council approve spending authority in the amount not to exceed $325,190.00 for grating and railing infrastructure repairs for HPW.
The Chief Procurement Officer issued an emergency purchase order to Mustang Composite Services, LLC in February 2025 for repairs. Work is expected to be completed October 2025.
The 69th Street and the West District wastewater treatment plants are currently facing critical failures that require immediate attention. The grating and railing infrastructure, including handrails, stairs, safety ladders, and associated structural components, has deteriorated significantly and, in many areas, has broken entirely.
These failures pose a serious safety hazard to plant personnel. The compromised systems create unsafe working conditions, increase the risk of falls, injuries, and potential regulatory violations. Continued operation under these conditions endangers employees and exposes the City to liability and non-compliance with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
These repairs are essential to restore safe access throughout the facilities and to uphold the integrity of our wastewater treatment facilities.
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.”
