Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, a Texas home-rule municipal corporation,
rejecting any and all competitive bids under IFB 7549 for Lab Supplies for the Water Production
Department and Municipal Lab; and providing an effective date (IFB 7549). The Public Utilities Board
recommends approval (4 - 0).
INFORMATION/BACKGROUND

Production Department and Municipal Lab. At the close of the solicitation only one vendor submitted a bid
for 42 out of 135 line items listed in the solicitation. The Water Production Department recommends
rejecting and re-soliciting since bid pricing was not received on all items. The Water Production Department
will work with the Procurement Department to re-review the IFB and locate additional potential bidders
prior to the new solicitation advertisement period.
In accordance with the Local Government Code 252.043, the City Council may reject any and all bids.

On January 25, 2021, the Public Utilities Board (PUB) recommended this item to the City Council for
consideration.
