Full report
Texas City has authorised $265,586.30 in equipment purchases for its wastewater-treatment and sewer-maintenance operations, approving a new wastewater treatment plant pump and a replacement sewer jet truck through its consent agenda.
The larger purchase is a 2027 Ford F550 Pipe Hunter sewer jet truck from Rush Truck Center, valued at $197,551.50 through BuyBoard Contract 724-23. The vehicle will replace a 2009 sewer jet truck.
Commissioners also approved the purchase of a Hidrostal F10K pump for the wastewater treatment plant. Global Wet will supply the pump for $68,034.80.
Both procurements were among the consent-agenda items approved by the commission after four unrelated items were pulled for separate consideration. The utility purchases were not pulled for discussion.
The approvals provide Public Works-Utilities with new equipment for two distinct parts of its wastewater operation: the treatment plant and sewer-system maintenance. The sewer jet truck replacement is explicitly tied to the age of the outgoing 2009 vehicle, while the pump procurement is designated for the city’s wastewater treatment plant.
