City Secretary

Re: Hurricane Harvey EOC Generator
Dear Ms. Huerta:
I write on behalf of my client, Coonrod Electric Company in advance of its planned public
comments at the City Council meeting on October 20, 2020. In short, Coonrod obtained and
delivered to the City an emergency electrical generator during Hurricane Harvey, and the City has
refused to reimburse Coonrod's costs due to an error in Coonrod's bid.
In August 2017, in the midst of the chaos of Hurricane Harvey, the City asked Coonrod
Electric to provide an 800 kilowatt generator to support the City's emergency operations center at
2406 Leopard Street. Coonrod was not the first contractor contacted. But it delivered. Coonrod
asked for a written purchase order, but the City directed Coonrod to proceed without one because
this was an "emergency purchase" which "supersed[ed] standard procedures[.]" Taking the City
at its word, Coonrod furnished the generator without a written purchase order. [Attachment 1--
Emails].
Coonrod submitted a written proposal to the City to provide the generator. In its haste to
render assistance,Coonrod inadvertently left a zero off of the rental rate line item and listed$1,400
per week instead of$14,000 per week. [Attachment 2—Proposal]. Coonrod's own cost and the
going rate for the generator was $12,000 per week. The City kept the generator for 47 days to
support its backup emergency operations center. Coonrod prepared invoices beginning in
September and issued them to the City based on the $14,000 per week rental rate.
It was only in November, after the generator was returned, the City disputed Coonrod's
invoices and refused to pay any more than the $1,400 weekly rate mistakenly listed in Coonrod's
initial proposal. Coonrod explained the mistake and offered to forego all profit if the City would
just reimburse its out-of-pocket expenses. The City has refused to budge. The legal doctrine of
remedial mistake would remedy this issue between private parties. Coonrod has chosen to bring
---------------------
the issue to the Council.
The San Antonio Court of Appeals has decided a case exactly like this one and ruled in
favor or the contractor who made a mistake. In B.D. Holt Co.v. OCE, Inc.,971 S.W.2d 618(Tex.
App.—San Antonio 1998, pet. denied), the San Antonio Court required James T. Taylor& Son,
Inc.to rescind a contract to provide a backup generator where the price term was low by $100,000
and 40%($247,610 vs. $147,610) due to a typographical error. On these facts,the appellate court
determined the defense was established as a matter of law and the contractor was permitted to
rescind the contract with the typo.
IC2327655 DOCX:3)
802 N.Carancahua,Ste. 1900,Corpus Chrlse, DC 78401-0036 I P:361.8863800 F:361.8863805 I wi m'.branscomblaw.com
The people of this city pulled together during Hurricane Harvey. Coonrod did its best to
help. It hopes the city will not attempt to take unfair advantage of the emergency when it requested
help. Coonrod has fully paid the third-party company that provided the generator to Coonrod.
[Attachment 3—Rental Invoice]. All told, its decision to help the City cope with a natural disaster
has cost Coonrod $136,575.75 in out-of-pocket expenses.

Thank you, Danny
I understand and appreciate your concern. This is considered an emergency purchase,and therefore we are permitted
to supersede standard procedures to secure the purchase. We have been given the authorization to proceed and are
required to follow up with the paperwork to ratify the purchase.
Cindy Ramos will be the contact in ensuring the Purchase Order is executed. The Purchase Order should be in place
within a few days.

Adrian/Grace...I understand from my conversation with Adrian this morning that the city cannot issue a PO quickly and we
have been issued both a verbal notice to proceed by Adrian and are also in receipt of the written notice to proceed
below. We will set the wheels in motion and attempt to secure the generator and confirm our intentions thereafter.
When do you expect us to receive the formal PO? We just wanted to put that note in our file so we have a timeline in
mind to follow up if we haven't seen it. We know you all have a lot on your plate and we want to assist be also being
responsible.
Again, we're thankful of the opportunity to support you.

HURRICANE HARVEY EOC GENERATOR-5
Comments by Danny Cook
A. Negotiations with the city
1. My name is Danny Cook, President of Coonrod Electric and I report to my
father in law,Tony Coonrod, CEO of Coonrod Electric. Our address is 213
N. Rachal, Sinton, TX 78387.
2. With my time, I will attempt to outline:
i. the negotiation attempts with the city, our out of pocket expenses to
OSC Energy for the Hurricane Harvey EOC generator,
ii. the total out of pocket loss,
iii. and the subsequent impact to Coonrod Electric.
3. Mr. Edgar Leonard, Director of Facilities, sent a letter to Coonrod Electric
on November 3 contesting the invoices. In this letter, Mr. Leonard attached
a hard copy of the PO which was the first time that Coonrod Electric was
ever provided an actual hard copy of the PO.
i. It's impossible to think that,had we been provided the hard copy PO
we would not have corrected our typo right away as the PO from the
City is for $40,000 and just (3) weeks of the rental of the generator
alone(not including cabling and connections)cost CEC $36,000.00
4. Coonrod Electric responded to the City of Corpus Christi on November 14,
via letter, providing background to the situation by providing proof of the
typo, reminding the City that they did not provide an itemized hard copy
PO as they would have in a normal scenario (at which time our accounting
and/or procurement department would have noticed the mistake before the
generator was procured for rental and installed). In this letter, as a gesture
of cooperation,Coonrod Electric offered to forego all profit for the services
provided to the city in an effort to recover our costs owed to the 3rd party
that provided the generator.
5. On December 7, 2017 Arnold Barrera spoke with Edgar Leonard and Mr.
Leonard stated his director, Sylvia Carrillo-Trevino was NOT WILLING
TO HEAR OUR CASE and stated the Coonrod Electric would have to
pursue other avenues.
6. So, on December 7, I personally began calling city officials and I started
with Ms. Carrillo-Trevino and she could not be reached as her line rang and
rang with no answer by reception or a voicemail.
7. I then left a message for Mr. Leonard immediately thereafter.
8. I never received a return phone call from either of them, so on December
11, I called Ms. Carrillo-Trevino again and this time, Ms. Alice answered
Page 1 of 3
the phone and asked me what the topic was and stated she would pass the
message along
9. I did not receive a return phone call from anyone at the city,so on December
13, I called and left a message for City Manager, Margie Rose.
10. In addition, I sent her an email explaining the situation regarding the
generator as well as the lack of return phone calls from Ms.Carrillo-Trevino
and Mr. Leonard.
11. Ms. Rose replied to my email that day and stated she was copying Ms.
Carrillo-Trevino to ensure I received a response from her and she also
thanked me for bringing the matter to her attention.
12. I finally received a phone call (which I missed) and an email from Ms.
Carrillo-Trevino on December 14`h. Her email stated, "...the claim that the
amount was erroneous is simply not factual..."
13. Immediately following reading Ms. Carrillo-Trevino's email, I returned her
phone call. For the 1S(30 seconds she was very rude and condescending to
me and ultimately referred to the city's attorneys three (3) times. At that
point, I asked her if she was encouraging us to get legal counsel to sue the
city instead of work things out between us and she responded that the case
was closed with the city and she would have no further communication on
the subject.
14. At that point, Coonrod Electric was forced to engage Jim Clancy with
Branscomb Law and we began our petition, yet again, as a company our
size could not fathom losing over$100,000.
15. On January 12, 2018, Mr. Clancy sent a demand letter to the city again
explaining both Coonrod Electric's inadvertent typographical error and
again highlighted the City's state of emergency in which it bypassed its own
procedures and Coonrod Electric again, to reduce the bill to its actual cost
thus foregoing any profit in an attempt to cover its cost with the 3rd party
supplier of the generator that was paid in full.
16. The City responded on February 12, 2018 and again uncompassionately
denied assisting Coonrod Electric in any way.
B. Status of payments to OSC Energy (3rd Party Generator Provider)
1. Coonrod Electric was billed a total of $132,476.75 by OSC Energy and
Coonrod Electric PAID OSC Energy IN FULL despite non-payment from
the city as we honor our obligations to our vendors.
C. Total out of pocket loss to Coonrod and impact on company of loss
1. To date, the city has paid Coonrod Electric $8,100.32. This leaves us at a
loss of$136,575.75 which is the amount we paid to OSC Energy for the
Page 2 of 3
EOC generator and the $4,099 that is still owed for disconnecting the
generator.
2. Additionally, the lack of payment by the city caused Coonrod Electric
tremendous hardship as we were required to increase our line of credit and
draw heavily on that line of credit to continue to operate which made it a
struggle to support larger projects because the revolver is in place to support
ongoing work, not finance a non-payment of such a large amount for an
extended period of time.
Thank you for your time.

Dear City Council Members,
I am protesting agenda Item 5: Wrecker Services for City-Owned Vehicles on the grounds
the City Charter was compromised:
1. RFB 3070, page 5, Item J, states "Bidders are welcomed and encouraged to attend
the bid opening."
2. Two days before the bids were due, Cynthia Perez, Senior Buyer of Procurement &
Contracts told me I was not allowed to be present due to Covid-19.
3. Mayor McComb signed an order to work from home on March 27, 2020. This
contract was due July 21, 2020. There was plenty of time to accommodate covid
instructions for all city contracts that were due this summer.
4. Last week's agenda leads Corpus Christi citizen's to believe that Apollo submitted
the lowest bid and that their bid's averages $165,000/per year. When you review the
tabulation, you will find that CCWrecker is the lowest responsive and responsible.
They were disqualified; none of the reasons listed on pg 8 of the bid applied.
CC Wrecker 5. Apollo 6. Texas
Towing Wrecker
3-Year Bid $509,900 7. $597,000 8. $606,000
Bid average $169,966.66 9. $199,000 10. $202,000
11. This contract needs to be revised and resolicited to include verbiage that avoids
comparing apples to oranges as it requests price per unit while the contract states
"an amount not to exceed an X amount of dollars per year." AND to restrict which
charges may or may not be added under this contract, e.g., recovery services fees,
Winchout fees, Labor fees, Equipment/Services:
a. Invoice A155164 - $3,342.50; recovery services
b. Invoice A158498 - $550.00; Winch out services
c. Invoice A161769—$300.00; Labor
d. Invoice A155221 - $3,000.00; Equipment/Services
e. Invoice A154347 - $225.00; Equipment/Services
f. Invoice A161769 - $300.00; Labor
