DISCUSSION:
The emergency work performed provided for the repair of multiple water main breaks that occurred 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 main breaks that were occurring. Using emergency contracting procedures, the Water Department engaged Tejas
Commercial Construction, LLC, Jackson Construction, Ltd. and Mountain Cascade of Texas, LLC to assist with repairing the main breaks.
The attached City Secretary Contract Nos.: 55320, Tejas Commercial Construction, LLC (City Project No. 103386), 55321 Jackson Construction,
Ltd (City Project No. 103387) and 55329 Mountain Cascade of Texas, LLC (City Project No.103385), were awarded for the emergency work each
in an amount up to $750,000.00. Contract 55321 was subsequently amended to provide for Jackson Construction Ltd to conduct pavement repair
since the company is also a paving contractor. The total construction cost for these three contracts was $888,568.14 , 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
property.
