HomeMy WebLinkAbout032818 RES - 07/26/2022Resolution authorizing execution of purchase orders for Corpus
Christi Water up to a cumulative total of $4,000,000.00, pursuant to the
public health and safety exception in State law, for various purchases
of water and wastewater infrastructure parts and materials due to
continuing supply chain disruption issues and the need to have
sufficient utility infrastructure supplies readily available, with FY 2022
funding of $1,000,000.00 from the Water and Wastewater Funds.
WHEREAS, Corpus Christi Water requires sufficient and continuous supplies of
pipe, valves, fittings, and other parts and materials for the immediate installation, repair,
and replacement of water and wastewater lines in order to preserve and protect the health
and safety of the citizens of Corpus Christi and to meet the operational needs of the
department;
WHEREAS, the ability to make immediate purchases when there is a limited
supply of a given part or material available requires Corpus Christi Water to have the
flexibility to make on -the -spot purchases, on an as -needed basis, due to the existing and
foreseeably continuing supply chain disruptions, resulting in deficiencies in the volume
and availability of goods, which has been exacerbated by recent pricing constraints due
to rising inflation;
WHEREAS, State law provides that such procurements, as described above, are
subject to statutory procurement requirements, including competitive bids, unless an
exemption applies; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds there is a statutory exemption for this
procurement in Local Government Code, Section 252.022(a)(2), as this procurement is
necessary to preserve or protect the public health or safety of the City's residents.
Be it resolved by the City Council of the City of Corpus Christi, Texas:
Section 1. The City Council specifically finds that the foregoing statements included in
the preamble of this resolution are true and correct and adopts such findings for all intents
and purposes related to the authorization of these procurements.
Section 2. The City Manager, or his designee, is authorized to execute all documents
necessary for Corpus Christi Water to purchase up to a cumulative total of $4,000,000.00
of water and wastewater parts and materials from the categories listed in Exhibit A, which

in its entirety, with FY 2022 funding of $1,000,000.00 from the Water and Wastewater
Funds.
