Mayor and City Council Communication
DATE: REFERENCE N0. SUBJECT: Page:
Authorize Contract with Huffman Construction for
12 Mar 09 403-1271- Debris Removal 1 of 1
533.59-00
RECOMMENDATION:
We recommend that the City Council authorize contracting with Huffman Construction to provide
supplemental debris collection services throughout the City of Port Arthur due to Hurricane Ike.
BACKGROUND:
Since Hurricane Ike, the Public Works Department has been dealing with increased debris volumes which
results in additional challenges in maintaining trash schedules. Accordingly, on 27 January, the City
Council authorized contracting with American Safety and Environmental to supplement the City forces.
While American Safety has provided some equipment, their efforts have not been sufficient to allow City
trash crews to maintain a normal schedule. Because of this, we recommend hiring the second lowest
bidder, Huffman Construction, in addition to American Safety. We propose dividing the City into different
zones of responsibility with City crews being responsible for one area, and each contractor exclusively
assigned to a particular area.

schedules.
SUMMARY:
We recommend that the City Council authorize contracting with Huffman Construction to provide
supplemental debris collection services throughout the City of Port Arthur due to Hurricane Ike.
