Subject:

Discussion and possible action to authorize the purchase of one (1) INTERCOMP AX900 Wireless Aluminum Scale with a 14’ Trailer from Nicol Scales and Measurement in an amount not to exceed $56,395.00 for commercial vehicle weight enforcement, the equipment will be used in conjunction with the Mobile Command Center for Judge Jose R. Salinas, Justice of the Peace Pct. 4 in partnership with the Webb County Sheriff’s Office for traffic enforcement operations on Interstate 35 [Account #1001-1130-001-431007-010 - Operational Reserve]

Issue: Commissioners Court authorized the Purchasing Agent to secure bids for a semi-portable axle scale with trailer to ensure the citizens of Webb County that the cargo weights of 18 wheeler are complying with State traffic Laws.

Solution: Authorize the Purchasing Agent to proceed with purchase from the lowest bidder Nicol Scales and proceed with order using funding from the General Operating Reserve Account.

Result: The operation of the command center and the scale will assist law enforcement to enforce commercial vehicle weight enforcement resulting in fewer accidents involving 18 wheeler transports and will also generate revenue for Webb County.
