BACKGROUND
This action is not intended to make an award, but to execute the casting of lots to identify a vendor for each of the lines for which the City has received identical bids. This process is being executed in accordance with Texas Local Government Code, Section 271.901. This section of the Texas local Government Code states, in part:
- The municipality must select identical bids by the casting of lots
- The casting of lots must be in the presence of the governing body of the municipality
- If one of the bidders submitting an identical bid is a resident of the municipality, the municipality must select that bidder
This particular solicitation resulted in identical bids from vendors located outside the City limits.
Once the vendor(s) are selected for each line by a casting of lots, a recommendation will be presented to City Council for award on September 26, 2018.
