Issue: On December 20, 2021, C-A Natives Contractors was awarded this project. Contractor has communicated with the Purchasing and Legal Departments that they will not be able to commit after all due to scheduling conflicts.

Solution: Approve the item as presented and consider award to next lowest bidder listed as an approved vendor by AEP.

Background:

A Systems Purchase Agreement was approved between Webb County and Motorola on 10/26/2020. Out of the five (5) tower sites (TS), two locations required shelters to house Webb County equipment tied to each TS. Both AEP Lobo and AEP Calton TS locations are included in the scope of work, AEP is donating the shelters but require Webb County to cover the cost of removal, transportation and installation to include all other construction costs involved. Only AEP approved vendors were permitted to submit price proposals. Three (3) price proposals ranging from $216,000.00 to $173,142.50 were secured.

Previous Court Action:

Approval of a construction contract with C-A Native for the AEP building relocation project for Webb County tower sites.
