Item Summary:
The Texas Local Government Code Section 271.113 allows Cities to use certain methods other than competitive
bidding in entering into contracts for construction of facilities. One such method is "Competitive Sealed Proposal".
Section 271.114(a) mandates that the "governing body of an entity that is considering a construction contract using
a method specified by Section 271.113(a) other than competitive bidding must, before advertising, determine which
method provides the best value to the government entity."
By selecting the method of Competitive Sealed Proposals for this project would allow City staff the ability to
negotiate the items in the contract for the best optimal value and use of funds. The alternative option of a straight
bid only allows City staff to select the lowest bidder.
The OSPV Triple Crown Complex Restroom Building Project will include a 4-6 stall restroom facility, associated
utilities and minor pedestrian improvements.
