WEBB COUNTY FAIR GROUND COMPLEX PROJECT

Department:	Engineering

Subject:

Discussion and possible action to authorize the Purchasing Agent to open and re-solicit Request for Competitive Sealed Proposal for RFP #2017-001 “Webb County Fair Grounds Complex Project” to accept donations and/or to purchase a tract of land containing no less than One Hundred Fifty (150) acres to identify the future site location of the Webb County Fair Grounds Complex. The process to accept a donation and/or to purchase land for the future construction of this project is contingent upon the recommendations of the Webb County Fair Grounds Committee, availability of funding and final approval by Commissioners Court.

Issue: On March 27, 2017 the Honorable Judge Tijerina presented an Agenda Item to authorize the Purchasing Agent to Solicit Request for Proposals to accept donations and/or to purchase a tract of land containing no less than one hundred fifty (150) acres to identify the future site location of the Webb County Fair Grounds Complex. On April 24, 2017 sealed proposals were accepted, however, Webb County is extending the time for additional proposers.

Solution: Authorize the Purchasing Agent to re-solicit proposals from the public for possible donation of land, purchase or a combination of both.

Result: Securing a land for this project will assist Project Architects with development of final Master Plan and Design for the Webb County Fair Grounds Facility. Site location is critical for overall design and master plan development which will serve our community today and for future generations.
