Issue:Commissioners Court authorized the Purchasing Agent to negotiate the lease terms with the awarded sole source vendor that met all the Grantors space requirements for the Safe Haven Program under the direction of the Webb County Sheriff.
Solution: Approve the final lease terms as submitted by the Purchasing Agent. Final rental amounts will fall under the grant budget for space rental expenditures. Lease terms include $18,000.00 of owner improvements to accommodate the space modifications to fit program needs.
Results: Execute the lease agreement to initiate the improvements needed to move in Webb County Sheriff's staff and proceed with safe haven operations provided to Webb County citizens needing a safe environment for visitation for custodial and non-custodial clients.
Background:
After solicitation of a number of sources, competition is determined inadequate. The Purchasing Agent has solicited for qualified proposals twice and none of the properties inspected met the GRANTORs requirements. Additional City owned properties were also inspected and did not meet the requirements of the Safe Haven program.
Under DOJ guidelines, it allows a non-competitive process to take place. The Safe Haven Staff has located a property that fits all the requirements of the GRANTOR in order to provide a safe environment for the custodial and non-custodial parents/guardians and their children.
