BACKGROUND:
This procurement will be made in accordance with Texas Local Government Code,
Chapter 252, Subchapter B, Section 252.022 (A).
September 26, 2001 (12:58PM)
Staff is proposing to rent 1,000 lineal feet of concrete traffic barriers (CTBs) from MICA
Corporation for the Parr Road Construction Project. No other supplier can provide the
needed quantity of barrier at this time.
At the letting of the project, TxIDOT advised us that we could use some of their surplus
barriers for the project. Since that time, TOOT has advised us that those surplus
barriers have been committed to TOOT projects due to changes in the scheduling of
their projects.
The rental is for a nine-month period to the conclusion of the project.
Staff recommends approval.
