Analysis
At the March 7, 2017 City Council meeting, Council awarded the initial ratification for emergency water main repair on Beltline Rd at Stratford Avenue in the total amount of $136,268 to North Texas Contracting, Inc. Additional repairs were necessary in the amount of $119,773 for a revised contract total of $256,041.00.
North Texas Contracting, Inc. was set to repair the 24” water main on Beltline Rd at Stratford Avenue, once they started the repair, it was brought to our attention by the contractors that there was additional damage to the 24” water line and they would have to make two repairs on the line.
The repairs are necessary for the health and safety of the citizens of City of Grand Prairie.
Local government code 252 allows for an exemption from the bid process for procurement necessary because of unforeseen damage to public machinery, equipment, or other property. Due to critical nature of emergency, we requested and were approved to waive the normal bidding procedures and awarded contract to North Texas Contracting, Inc. in the amount of $119,773.
