FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: FEBRUARY 6, 2024
SUBJECT: CONTRACT FOR PURCHASE OF WATER TANK INSPECTIONS AND
CLEANING
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider approval of a contract for the purchase of yearly
water tank inspections and cleaning from Consor Engineers, LLC for the
Public Works Department.
FUNDING SOURCE: Funds are available in the Utility Enterprise Fund for an amount not to
exceed $39,600.
BACKGROUND: The TCEQ requires periodic inspection and cleaning of our water tanks.
The Dove Elevated Tank and two of the Water Plant clear well tanks are
due this year. The inspection will identify any weak spots for future repair
and the cleaning improves water quality across the system.
This purchase will be made in accordance with an existing interlocal
agreement with The Local Government Purchasing Cooperative
(BuyBoard) as allowed by Texas Local Government Code, Chapter 271
and Texas Government Code, Chapter 791.
Bids were taken by the Cooperative and a contract was awarded to
Consor Engineers, LLC. The Public Works and Purchasing staff reviewed
the contract for departmental specification compliance and pricing and
determined that the contract would best meet the needs of the City.
Staff recommends approval
