CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
 
City Council Meeting: August 25, 2020
Department: Purchasing
Subject:
Resolution No. 20-R-96 - Consideration and/or action approving a Resolution by the City Council of the City of Schertz, Texas, authorizing the City Manager to enter into an indefinite quantity, indefinite delivery contract with Brauntex Materials for asphalt, hot mix, and other related materials. (C. Kelm/ S. Williams)

BACKGROUND

The City of Schertz Public Works Departments completes a number of road repair projects in-house each fiscal year. Part of the project requires obtaining materials such as asphalt and hot-mix to complete the project. In an effort to decrease the amount of administrative time related to each road repair project, City Staff coordinated with Purchasing to complete an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) procurement for street repair related materials. 

Brauntex Materials has a reputation of providing quality materials and a reasonable price for street related materials. As such, an agreement was negotiated with Brauntex for a list of materials commonly purchased through them. 

GOAL

To increase efficiency and reduce administrative time for Street Repair projects to be completed in-house by establishing an IDIQ agreement with Brauntex Materials.

COMMUNITY BENEFIT

Executing this agreement will allow for in-house street repairs to be completed in a more timely manner by reducing the amount of time spent on obtaining materials quotes. In addition, the pricing offered by Brauntex Materials for these items is lower than the average rate on daily pick-ups. 

SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION

Staff recommends Council approves Resolution 20-R-96 authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement with Brauntex Materials

FISCAL IMPACT

All funding related to this agreement will be taken from existing budgeted funds allocated for Street Repair and Maintenance.

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends that Council approves Resolution 20-R-96
