Mayor and Council Communication
DATE: 12/14/21 M&C FILE NUMBER: M&C 21-0960
LOG NAME: 13P21-0161 REJECT TRAFFIC BARRICADES MGF WATER
SUBJECT
(ALL) Authorize Rejection of All Responses to Invitation to Bid 21-0161 Traffic Barricades for the Water Department
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the rejection of all responses to Invitation to Bid 21-0161 Traffic Barricades for the Water
Department.
DISCUSSION:
Water main breaks, caused by extreme winter storms in FY21, resulted in higher demand for traffic barricades for the Water Department. With
concerns that the existing contract capacity would not cover the FY21 need, Water Department requested for Purchasing to issue an Invitation to
Bid (ITB) 21-0161 for traffic barricades on June 29, 2021 for the Water Department. Notice of the ITB was advertised in the Fort Worth Star -
Telegram on June 30, 2021, July 7, 2021, July 14, 2021 and July 21, 2021. The City of Fort Worth received four responses. After evaluation of bid
responses and the status of remaining contract capacity, the Water Department determined their needs would continue to be met under the old
bid, ITB No. 19-0195. Therefore, Water Department staff requested that Purchasing reject all bids for this procurement.
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 approval of the recommendation will have no material effect on City funds.
