Submitted for:	Martin Cuellar	Submitted By:	Christina Moncivais
Department:	Sheriff

Subject:

Discussion and possible action to authorize the purchase of three (3) industrial gas water heaters for the Webb County Jail to include the removal, disposal and installation fees in an amount not to exceed $70,000 and by order authorize the Purchasing Agent to issue an Emergency Purchase Order in accordance with the Texas Local Government Code; §262.024 (Discretionary Exemptions)(a.)(11) for equipment repairs and to further authorize the transfer of funds from the General Operating Reserve account 1001-1130-001-431007-010 to the Sheriff’s Jail Capital Outlay Account #1001-4070-001-470000 and any other matters incident thereto. [Account #1001-4070-001-470000 (General Fund-Sheriff Jail-Administration-Capital Outlay)]

Issue: Exigent circumstances require the emergency replacement of three (3) industrial sized water heaters that provide hot water for needed sanitation and health reasons at the Webb County Jail. In addition, these capitalized items were not part of the original budget and approval by Commissioners Court is required to comply with the Purchasing Policy on capital outlay expenses not part of the original adopted budget for FY 2024.

Solution: Approve the emergency purchase of three (3) water heaters for the Webb County Jail by order in accordance with the Texas Local Government Code; discretionary exemptions for equipment repairs.

Result: Replacement of water heaters will provide the necessary hot water to the Webb County Jail, and prevent any health or safety issues. Securing approval of non-budgeted capital assets will comply with policy.
