LOG NAME: 20RATIFY AN EMERGENCY CONTRACT WITH BEAN ELECTRICAL
SUBJECT
(CD 8) Ratify an Emergency Contract with Bean Electrical, Inc., in the Final Amount of $8,000.00 for Emergency Traffic Signal Repair Work
Performed at the Intersection of East Lancaster Avenue and Riverside Drive
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council ratify an emergency agreement with Bean Electrical, City Secretary No. 54229, in the final amount of
$8,000.00 for emergency traffic signal repair work performed at the intersection of East Lancaster Avenue and Riverside Drive.
DISCUSSION:
The emergency work performed provided for the replacement of a structurally damaged traffic signal pole that was struck by a motorist.
It was beyond the City's capacity to repair and replace the damaged 20 foot tall signal pole with a 68 foot mast arm. The Transportation and Public
Works Department engaged Bean Electrical, Inc. for the emergency repairs using a replacement pole in City's possession and reused existing 68
foot mast arm.
The structurally damaged traffic signal pole at East Lancaster Avenue and Riverside Drive was a safety risk for the City of Fort Worth before
replacement. Chapter 2, Article I, Section 2-9 of the City's Code of Ordinances and Section 252.022 of the Local Government Code exempts from
normal bidding requirements expenditures 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 property.
A Form 1295 is not required because: This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that funds are available in the current capital budget, as previously appropriated, in the General Capital Projects
Fund for the FY 2020 PAY GO Traffic Signal project to support the approval of the above recommendation and award of the contract.
