FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: JANUARY 7, 2025
SUBJECT: PURCHASE OF REPLACEMENT DOCK FOR MCPHERSON SLOUGH
BOAT RAMP
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider approval for the purchase of a replacement dock
for McPherson Slough boat ramp from EZ Dock of Texas, LP for the Parks
and Recreation Department.
FUNDING SOURCE: Funds are available in the Lake Parks Fund for a total amount not to
exceed $62,386.
BACKGROUND: This purchase is needed due to wear and tear on this high demand boat
ramp, along with some damage from the summer 2024 flood. This
purchase will allow staff to reopen the ramp at full operation for residents
and boat ramp users.
This purchase will be made in accordance with an existing interlocal
agreement with The Local Government Purchasing Cooperative (Buy
Board) as allowed by Texas Local Government Code, Section 271 and
Texas Government Code, Chapter 791.
Bids were taken by the Cooperative and a contract was awarded to EZ
Dock of Texas, LP. The Parks and Purchasing staff reviewed the contract
for departmental specification compliance and pricing and determined that
the contract would provide the best service and pricing for meeting the
needs of the City.
Staff recommends approval.
