CITY COUNCIL REPORT
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Lloyd V. Harrell, City Manager
SUBJECT: PURCHASE ORDER #55718 - JAGOE PUBLIC
RECOMMENDATION: We recommend purchase order #55718 to Jagoe Public Company
be approved in the amount of $16,450.00.
S~RY: This purchase order is for the emergency purchase of equipment and
labor to install 470 feet of 24" PVC sewer pipe. The repair was along the 24" Hickory
Creek fall line near highway 377. This PVC line replaced an existing clay sewer line
that had collapsed creating an overflow of 150 to 200 gallons per minute of sanitary
sewage into Hickory Creek. Work was begun to bypass the damaged line and the
property owner, Texas Natural Resources Conservation Commission and EPA Region
6 were notified. Above ground lines and portable pumps were utilized 24 hours per
day to bypass the collapsed line and prevent further spiliage into Hickory Creek.
An emergency purchase of this type is exempt from the bid process as outlined in
Chapter 252 section .022 of Texas Local Government Codes.
BACKGROUND: Purchase Order 55718 - Jagoe Public Company.
