City Council Regular Meeting

Meeting Date:

BACKGROUND

In support of the fiscal year 2019-2020 Expanded Programs Initiative, the City of Schertz (the “City”) contracted with SA Paramount Construction, LLC for labor and related materials for various separate and unrelated concrete related projects because SA Paramount Construction has a reputation of consistently providing a quality job for a low price compared to other local contractors. Multiple contracts between the City and SA Paramount Construction have been issued in support of work completed by the City’s Public Works Department and other departments of the City.

The City’s Purchasing Policy authorizes the City Manager, or his or her designee, to approve and execute contracts for amounts less than $50,000 without obtaining City Council approval for such contracts. The total amount of the currently identified, separate and unrelated requirements the City has, will approach $85,000. This does not include a contingency amount.

Due to SA Paramount Construction reputation of consistently providing a quality job for a low price, the City staff desires to continue to work with SA Paramount Construction in connection with one or more additional separate and unrelated concrete related projects during the remainder of the 2019-2020 fiscal year, for total expenditures with Robert’s Concrete during the 2019-2020 fiscal year of up to $100,000 ($85,000 in current requirements, $15,000 for contingency).
