Additional Backup Information: The contract will provide for the removal of debris and cleanup services under bridge overpasses and in the transportation right of way throughout the City. The primary goal is to ensure the public right of way is clean and safe for all residents and not to remove any individuals who may be camping at the underpass locations. The contract will allow the City to continue these important cleanup services at locations underneath Interstate 35, US 183, Loop 1, and US 290, as well as at other areas in the public right of way as they are identified. State law allows political subdivisions to substitute services available from blind or disabled persons for those which could be purchased from private business without securing competitive bids (Texas Human Resources Code, Section 122.017 and Texas Local Government Code Section 252.022(a)(13)).  Contract Detail: Contract Term Initial Term Optional Extension 1 Optional Extension 2 TOTAL Note: Contract Authorization amounts are based on the City’s estimated annual usage.
