City Council Regular Meeting

Meeting Date:

02/11/2020

BACKGROUND

The City of Schertz (the “City”) has contracted with C-3 Environmental Construction for labor and related materials for concrete projects. C-3 Environmental Construction has a reputation of consistently providing quality work for low prices compared to other local contractors. The various contracts between the City and C-3 Construction have been related to work for the City’s Public Works Department, as well as for other City departments.

The City’s Purchasing Policy authorizes 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 various separate and unrelated contracts that the City has entered with C-3 Environmental Construction during the 2019-2020 fiscal year will be above $50,000.

Due to C-3 Environmental Construction reputation of consistently providing a quality job for a low price, the City staff desires to continue to work with C-3 Environmental 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 C-3 Environmental during the 2019-2020 fiscal year of up to $175,000.

As one of those additional projects, the Public Works Department will complete the 2018-2019 Main St. sidewalk project, which includes connecting areas where there is currently not a sidewalk, implement ADA compliance, and remove several trip hazards.

The Public Works Department and the Purchasing Department solicited sealed bids from local concrete contractors. We then chose two contractors that the City contracted with for the remainder of this FY. The money for this sidewalk project is budgeted for the Main St. beautification.

GOAL

COMMUNITY BENEFIT
