DISCUSSION:
The emergency work performed provided for the pavement repair in areas where emergency water main breaks were repaired during the deep
freeze event in Texas that commenced on February 14,2021 and lasted for several days. It was beyond the City's ability as well as those of on-call
emergency contractors to handle the volume of pavement repairs required following the water main break repairs. Using emergency contracting
procedures,the Water Department engaged Jackson Construction, Ltd.,Texas Materials Group, Inc.dba Texas Bit and Peachtree Construction,
Ltd.to assist with the pavement repairs subsequent to water main repairs.
Under emergency authorization, City Secretary Contract Nos.:55369,Jackson Construction, Ltd. (City Project No. 103393),55342,Texas
Materials Group, Inc. dba Texas Bit(City Project No. 103394)and 55354, Peachtree Construction,Ltd. (City Project No. 103395),were awarded
for the emergency work each in an amount up to$750,000.00. Contract 55369 was subsequently amended to provide for additional work
performed by Jackson Construction, Ltd and Contract 55342 was subsequently amended to provide for additional work performed by Texas
Materials Group, Inc.dba Texas Bit.The total construction cost for these three contracts was$2,390,089.00,which is fair and reasonable for the
work performed.Upon ratification of these contracts,staff will close them out.
Section 252.022 of the Local Government Code exempts from normal bidding requirements that are necessary to preserve or protect public health
or safety of the municipality's residents and procurements that are necessary because of unforeseen damage to public machinery, equipment or
