Discussion and possible action to ratify the professional service agreement — work authorization with Ardurra Group, Inc. for a Limited Phase II Environmental Service Assessment (ESA) of properties located at 720 Convent Avenue and 1101 Matamoros Street with Ardurra Group, Inc. for an amount not to exceed $55,000.00 pursuant to the Master Contract for Environmental Services and any other matters incident thereto. [Account #1001-1130-001-432001 (Professional Services)]

Issue: Webb County recently acquired the subject properties and, during the feasibility period, appraisals, building/property assessments, and environmental services were required prior to close out of purchase. The current master agreement with Ardurra Group, Inc. and other firms on a rotation basis include a provision that requires all work authorizations to be approved by the Court. Due to the sensitive timeline to close the property, the order was placed to move the ESA's to meet the timeline during the feasibility period.  

Solution: Consideration to approve the ratification of services authorized by the Webb County Purchasing Agent utilizing an approved vendor previously awarded a professional services agreement after participating in a RFQ procurement process. 

Result: If approved, no additional action required. The properties were officially turned over to Webb County on July 10, 2026.
