CITY COUNCIL MEMO
2026-2789
MEETING OF OCTOBER 6, 2026
TO: Mayor Rawn and City Council
THROUGH: Keith Macedo, Chief Information Officer
FROM: Ross Jackson, Fleet Operations Superintendent
SUBJECT: Purchase of expansion dump trucks for the Water and Sewer department through
Bruckner Truck Sales Inc.
RECOMMENDATION:
A RESOLUTION TO APPROVE THE PURCHASE OF THREE DUMP TRUCKS IN THE AMOUNT OF
$628,500.00 PLUS ANY ADDITIONAL SURCHARGES, FREIGHT CHARGES, TARRIFS AND DELIVERY
FEES IN ACCORDANCE WITH AN HGAC COOPERATIVE PURCHASING CONTRACT (HT07-26A) AND TO
APPROVE A BUDGET AMENDMENT.
BACKGROUND:
(3) expansion dump trucks (WSEW_F137, F138 and F139).
DISCUSSION:
The Water and Sewer Department is requesting equipment expansions to support the City’s increased efforts
to self-perform water and sewer main construction and polyethylene water service line replacements.
Currently, crews share dump trucks, excavators, and trailers, which can delay projects and reduce efficiency.
Additional equipment will allow crews to work more independently, improve productivity, and better utilize
employees.
In 2026, Water Sewer expects to replace more than 10,000 feet of water main and 1,000 water service lines, in
addition to routine maintenance and emergency repairs. The department has found self-performing this work
saves approximately 60% compared to contracting, while also reducing project timelines, change-order risks,
and costs associated with outside engineering and inspection.
Recent projects demonstrate these savings:
• Ridgeway & Crestwood: 8,000 feet of 6-inch water main; estimated contractor cost of $3.05 million
versus $1.186 million in-house, a savings of approximately 61%.
• Treat & Dowell: 2,000 feet of 18-inch and 12-inch water main; estimated contractor cost
of $865,000 versus $292,000 in-house, a savings of approximately 66%.
• Aqua Xing: 42 water service lines replaced, eliminating approximately 5.56 million gallons of annual
water loss, with an estimated annual value of approximately $10,000.
The requested equipment will help Water Sewer continue expanding its in-house construction program, reduce
reliance on contractors, and provide significant long-term cost savings to the City.

BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT:

being requested for decals, radios, emergency lights and miscellaneous safety items which Fleet will install
after delivery of the trucks. This is a typical procedure prior to putting vehicles into service.

ARTICLE 23: CONTRACT PRICE ADJUSTMENTS
Price Decreases
Docusign Envelope ID: 31DA20AA-33C2-80B3-8032-527BF76C6560
Page 7 of 27
If Contractor’s Direct Cost decreases at any time during the full term of this award,
Contractor must immediately pass the decrease on to H-GAC and lower its prices by the
amount of the decrease in Direct Cost. (Direct Cost means Contractor’s cost from the
manufacturer of any item or if Contractor is the manufacturer, the cost of raw materials
required to manufacture the item, plus costs of transportation from manufacturer to
Contractor and Contractor to H-GAC. Contractor must notify H-GAC of price decreases in
the same way as for price increases set out below. The price decrease shall become
effective upon H-GAC’s receipt of Contractor’s notice. If Contractor routinely offers
discounted contract pricing, H-GAC may request Contractor accept amended contract
pricing equivalent to the routinely discounted pricing.
Price Increase
Contractors may request a price increase for items priced as Base Bid items and Published
Options. The amount of any increase will not exceed actual documented increase in
Contractor’s Direct Cost and will not exceed 10% of the previous bid price. Considerations
on the percentage limit will be given if the price increase is the result of increased tariff
charges or other governmental actions, or other economic factors. Manufacturer
price/contract changes involving the sale of motor vehicles will be considered and may be
allowed during the entire contract period subject to submission and verification of the
proper documentation required for a contract change as referenced in this section.
Price Changes
Any permanent increase or decrease in offered pricing for a base contract item or
published option is considered a price change. Temporary increases in pricing by whatever
name (e.g., ‘surcharge’, ‘adjustment’, ‘equalization charge’, ‘compliance charge’, ‘recovery
charge’, etc.), are also considered to be price changes.
For published catalogs and price sheets as part of an H-GAC contract, requests to amend
the contract to reflect any new published catalog or price sheet must be submitted
whenever the manufacturer publishes a new document. The request must include the new
catalog or price sheet. All Products shall, at time of sale, be equipped as required under
any then current applicable local, state, and federal government requirements. If, during
any contract, changes are made to any government requirements which cause a
manufacturer's costs of production to increase, Contractor may increase pricing to the
extent of Contractor’s actual cost increase. The increase must be substantiated with
support documentation acceptable to H-GAC prior to taking effect. Modifications to a
Product required to comply with such requirements which become effective after the date
of any sale are the responsibility of the Customer.
Requesting Price Increase/Required Documentation
Contractor must submit a written overview of changes requested and reasons for the
request, stating the amount of the increase, along with an itemized list of any increased
prices, showing the Contractor’s current price, revised price, the actual dollar difference
and the percentage of the price increase by line item. Price change requests must be
supported with substantive documentation (e.g., notices from suppliers and manufacturers
of pricing changes in products, components, transportation, raw materials or commodities,
and/or product availability, copies of invoices from suppliers, etc.) clearly showing that
Contractor's actual costs have increased per the applicable line-item bid. The Producer
Price Index (PPI) may be used as partial justification, subject to approval by H-GAC, but no
price increase based solely on an increase in the PPI will be allowed. This documentation
should be submitted in Excel format to facilitate analysis and updating of the website. The
letter and documentation must be sent to Lead Program Coordinator, .james.glover@h-

Review/Approval of Requests
If H-GAC approves the price increase, Contractor will be notified in writing; no price
increase will be effective until Contractor receives this notice. If H-GAC does not approve
Contractor’s price increase, Contractor may terminate its performance upon sixty (60) days
advance written notice to H-GAC, however Contractor must fulfill any outstanding Purchase
Orders. Termination of performance is Contractor’s only remedy if H-GAC does not approve
the price increase. H-GAC reserves the right to accept or reject any price change request.
ARTICLE 24: DELIVERIES AND SHIPPING TERMS

modification to an existing Federal award to an applicant or recipient until the entity has
complied with the requirements described in 2 CFR 25.200 to provide a valid unique entity
identifier and maintain an active SAM registration () with current information (other than
any requirement that is not applicable because the entity is exempted under § 25.110). 2
CFR 25.200(b) requires that registration in the SAM www.SAM.govprior to submitting an
application or plan; and maintain an active SAM registration with current information,

the last three years, if applicable, at all times during which it has an active Federal award
or an application or plan under consideration by a Federal awarding agency; and provide

agency. To remain registered in the SAM database after the initial registration, the
applicant is required to review and update its information in the SAM database on an
annual basis from the date of initial registration or subsequent updates to ensure it is
current, accurate and complete. At the time a Federal awarding agency is ready to make a
Federal award, if the intended recipient has not complied with an applicable requirement to
provide a unique entity identifier or maintain an active SAM registration with current
information, the Federal awarding agency: (1) May determine that the applicant is not
qualified to receive a Federal award; and (2) May use that determination as a basis for
making a Federal award to another applicant.

MASTER SPECIAL PROVISIONS
Please note, this is an H-GAC Master Agreement template and is used for all
products and services offered in H-GAC Cooperative Purchasing. Any redlines to
this Master Agreement may not be reviewed. Incorporated by attachment, as part of
the whole Master Agreement, Houston-Galveston Area Council and the Contractor do,
hereby agree to the Master Special Provisions as follows:
ARTICLE 1: BIDS/PROPOSALS INCORPORATED
In addition to the whole Master Agreement, the following documents listed in order of
priority are incorporated into the Master Agreement by reference: Bid/Proposal
Specifications and Contractor’s Response to the Bid/Proposal.
ARTICLE 2: END USER MASTER AGREEMENTS (“EUA”)
Houston-Galveston Area Council acknowledges that the END USER, which is the HGACBuy
customer utilizing the contract (CUSTOMER and END USER may be used interchangeably)
may choose to enter into an End User Master Agreement (EUA) with the Contractor
through this Master Agreement. A CUSTOMER/END USER is a state agency, county,
municipality, special district, or other political subdivision of a state, or a qualifying non-
profit corporation (providing one or more governmental function or service that possess
legal authority to enter into the Contract. The term of the EUA may exceed the term of
the current Houston-Galveston Area Council Master Agreement.
Houston-Galveston Area Council’s acknowledgement is not an endorsement or approval of
the End User Master Agreement’s terms and conditions. Contractor agrees not to offer,
agree to or accept from the CUSTOMER/END USER, any terms or conditions that conflict
with those in Contractor’s Master Agreement with Houston-Galveston Area Council.
Contractor affirms that termination of its Master Agreement with Houston-Galveston Area
Council for any reason shall not result in the termination of any underlying EUA, which
shall in each instance, continue pursuant to the EUA’s stated terms and duration. Pursuant
to the terms of this Master Agreement, termination of this Master Agreement will disallow
the Contractor from entering into any new EUA with CUSTOMER/END USER. Applicable
Houston-Galveston Area Council order processing charges will be due and payable to
Houston-Galveston Area Council on any EUAs, surviving termination of this Master
Agreement between Houston-Galveston Area Council and Contractor.
ARTICLE 3: MOST FAVORED CUSTOMER CLAUSE
Contractor shall provide its most favorable pricing and terms to Houston-Galveston Area
Council, as follows. If at any time during this Master Agreement, Contractor develops a
regularly followed standard procedure of entering into Master Agreements with other
governmental customers within the State of Texas, and offers the same or substantially
the same products/services offered to Houston-Galveston Area Council on a basis that
provides prices, warranties, benefits, and or terms more favorable than those provided to
Houston-Galveston Area Council, Contractor shall notify Houston-Galveston Area Council
within ten (10) business days thereafter, and this Master Agreement shall be deemed to
be automatically retroactively amended, to the effective date of Contractor’s most
favorable past Master Agreement with another entity. Contractor shall provide the same
prices, warranties, benefits, or terms to Houston-Galveston Area Council and its
Docusign Envelope ID: 31DA20AA-33C2-80B3-8032-527BF76C6560
Page 19 of 27
CUSTOMER/END USER as provided in its most favorable past Master Agreement. Houston-
Galveston Area Council shall have the right and option at any time to decline to accept
any such change, in which case the amendment shall be deemed null and void. If
Contractor claims that a more favorable price, warranty, benefit, or term that was
charged or offered to another entity during the term of this Master Agreement, does not
constitute more favorable treatment, than Contractor shall, within ten (10) business days,
notify Houston-Galveston Area Council in writing, setting forth the detailed reasons
Contractor believes the aforesaid offer is not in fact most favored treatment. Houston-
Galveston Area Council, after due consideration of Contractor’s written explanation, may
decline to accept such explanation and thereupon this Master Agreement between
Houston-Galveston Area Council and Contractor shall be automatically amended, effective
retroactively, to the effective date of the most favored Master Agreement, to provide the
same prices, warranties, benefits, or terms to Houston-Galveston Area Council and the
CUSTOMER/END USER.

institutions, or the Federal Government and its agencies.

Council, within thirty (30) calendar days or ten (10) business days after receipt of a

Comisión de Calidad Ambiental de Texas
AVISO DE UN PERMISO FEDERAL PARA OPERACIÓN PRELIMINAR
NÚMERO DE PERMISO O2221
SOLICITUD Y PERMISO PRELIMINAR. The Dow Chemical Company, 2301 N Brazosport Blvd, Freeport, TX 77541-3203, ha presentado una solicitud ante la Comisión de Calidad Ambiental de Texas (TCEQ, por sus siglas en inglés) para la renovación y examen del Permiso Federal de Operación (en adelante denominado como Permiso) núm. O2221, Solicitud núm. 38056, para autorizar la operación de Specialty Chemicals 2 área, un All Other Basic Organic Chemical Manufacturing instalación. El área a la cual se refiere la solicitud está ubicada en 2301 Brazosport Blvd en la ciudad de Freeport, Condado de Brazoria, Texas 77541. Este enlace a un mapa electrónico de la ubicación general del sitio o la instalación es proporcionado como una cortesía y no es parte de la solicitud o el aviso. Para la ubicación exacta, consulte la solicitud.https://gisweb.tceq.texas.gov/LocationMapper/?marker=-95.352777,28.9825&level=13 Esta solicitud fue recibida por la TCEQ el 17 de abril de 2025.
El propósito de un Permiso Federal de Operación es mejorar el acatamiento general con las normas que gobiernan el control de la contaminación atmosférica, claramente definiendo todos los requisitos aplicables como están definidos en el Título 30 del Código Administrativo de Texas § 122.10 (30 TAC § 122.10, por sus siglas en inglés). El permiso preliminar, si es aprobado, codificará las condiciones bajo las cuales el área debe operar. El permiso no autorizará construcción nueva. El director ejecutivo ha concluido la revisión técnica de la solicitud y ha hecho una decisión preliminar para preparar el permiso preliminar para la revisión y comentario público. El director ejecutivo de la TCEQ recomienda la expedición de este permiso preliminar. La solicitud de permiso, la declaración de fundamentos y el proyecto de permiso estarán disponibles para su consulta y reproducción en Freeport Public Library, 410 N Brazosport Blvd, Freeport, Texas 77541-3802 a partir del primer día de la publicación de este aviso. El proyecto de permiso y la declaración de fundamentos están disponibles electrónicamente en la página web de la TCEQ: www.tceq.texas.gov/goto/tvnotice. La solicitud (junto con cualquier actualización) está disponible través del siguiente enlace: https://www.tceq.texas.gov/permitting/air/airpermit-applications-notices. Es posible acceder a esta información electrónicamente en la Secretaría Oficial, ubicada en el Edificio F (planta baja) de las Oficinas Centrales de la TCEQ en Austin, Texas, así como en la Oficina Regional en Houston de la comisión. También es posible acceder electrónicamente a materiales de apoyo relevantes en estas ubicaciones (entre ellos los permisos de Revisión de Nuevas Fuentes que se han incorporado por referencia).
COMENTARIOS/NOTIFICACIÓN PÚBLICA Y AUDIENCIA. Cualquier persona puede entregar comentarios públicos sobre el permiso preliminar. Comentarios relacionados a la exactitud, lo completo, y lo apropiado de las condiciones del permiso pueden resultar en cambios al permiso preliminar. Una persona que podría ser afectada por la emisión de contaminantes atmosféricos del área del sitio del permiso puede solicitar una audiencia de aviso y comentarios. El propósito de la audiencia de notificación y comentarios es para proporcionar la oportunidad para entregar comentarios sobre el permiso preliminar. El permiso puede ser cambiado en base a si los comentarios relacionados con el permiso permiten el cumplimiento con el Título 30 del Código Administrativo de Texas, Capítulo 122 (ejemplos pueden incluir que el permiso no tiene todos los requisitos aplicables que correspondan o que no se cumplieron los procedimientos de aviso público). La TCEQ puede otorgar una audiencia de aviso y comentarios con respecto a esta solicitud si una petición por escrito es presentada dentro de los treinta días después de la publicación del anuncio en el diario. La solicitud de audiencia debe incluir la base de la solicitud, incluyendo una descripción de como la persona puede ser afectada por la emisión de contaminantes atmosféricos del área de la solicitud. La solicitud también debería especificar las condiciones del permiso borrador que son inapropiados o especificar como la decisión preliminar para expedir o denegar el permiso es inapropiado. Todos los asuntos razonablemente verificables deben ser planteados y todos los argumentos razonablemente disponibles deben ser entregados a no más tardar al final del período de comentarios públicos. Si se concede una audiencia de aviso y comentario, todos los individuos que presentaron comentarios por escrito o una solicitud de audiencia recibirán confirmación por escrito de la audiencia. Esta confirmación indicará la fecha, hora y lugar de la audiencia.
Comentarios públicos por escrito y/o peticiones para una audiencia de aviso y comentarios deberían ser presentados a la Comisión de Calidad Ambiental (TCEQ), Oficina del Secretario Oficial (Office of Chief Clerk), MC-105, P.O. Box 13087, Austin, Texas 78711-3087, o por internet al www14.tceq.texas.gov/epic/eComment/, dentro de treinta días después de la fecha de publicación en el periódico de este aviso. Si se comunica electrónicamente con la TCEQ, favor de notar que su correo electrónico, tal como su dirección de correo doméstico, formarán parte del archivo público de la agencia.
Un aviso de la acción final propuesta que incluye una respuesta a los comentarios y denotando cualquier cambio al permiso preliminar, será enviado a todas las personas que hayan presentado comentarios públicos, una solicitud de audiencia o que hayan solicitado ser incluidos en la lista de correo. Este envío de correo también proveerá instrucciones para hacer peticiones públicas a la Agencia de Protección Ambiental (EPA, por sus siglas en inglés), para solicitar que la EPA se oponga a la expedición del permiso preliminar. Después de recibir una solicitud, la EPA solamente podrá objetar a la expedición de un permiso que no cumple con los requisitos aplicables o los requisitos del 30 TAC Capítulo 122.
LISTA PARA ENVÍO DE CORREO. Aparte de entregar comentarios públicos, usted puede solicitar ser incluido en una lista para envío de correo con respecto a esta solicitud al enviar su petición a la Oficina del Secretario Oficial (Office of Chief Clerk) a la dirección antes mencionada. Los que se encuentran en la lista para envío de correo recibirán copias de avisos públicos futuros (si hay) para esta solicitud enviados por correo por el Secretario Oficial.
INFORMACIÓN. Para más información sobre el proceso de tramitación de permisos, favor de llamar al Programa de Educación Pública de la TCEQ sin costo al 1-800-687-4040, o bien visitar su sitio web, www.tceq.texas.gov/goto/pep.

or other compliance related documentation at any time. Listed below are other requirements of
responding to the Solicitation:
3.1. Contractor Orientation and Training

Cooperative Purchasing Program is a key factor in achieving Customer satisfaction. The Contact Person
listed on Contractor Status and Contact Form or an alternate, will be required to participate in an H-GAC
vendor orientation and training as soon as possible after contract execution. In addition, other
Contractor's staff who will be involved in any way with the HGACBuy Program should participate in
orientation. The orientation may be presented as a teleconference or webinar or may be held in H-GAC's
offices as determined by H-GAC and Contractor to be the most efficient and effective form of delivery.
Please visit https://www.hgacbuy.org/events for more information.
3.2. Nationwide Sales Opportunity
HGACBuy contracts provide various products and services to local governments and qualifying non-
profits throughout the nation, and desires to make established contracts available to Customers
wherever and whenever practicable. Once a contract is executed, Contractor is expected to expand the
scope of its marketing effort to include sales to Customers in all areas of the United States. Please also
view important guidelines and additional information regarding marketing the program at:
https://www.hgacbuy.org/marketing
3.3. Corporate/Sales Commitment

program. By submission of a response, Respondent agrees that HGACBuy has the support of senior
management and HGACBuy will be the primary government contracting vehicle when offering
services/products awarded from this solicitation to eligible Customers nationwide. A further
commitment to aggressively market the program, both independently as well in partnership with
HGACBuy.
3.4. Manufacturer as Respondent
If Respondent is a manufacturer or wholesale distributor, the response received will be evaluated based
on a response made in conjunction with that manufacturer’s authorized dealer/reseller network. Unless
stated otherwise, a manufacturer or wholesale distributor Respondent is assumed to have a
documented relationship with their dealer/reseller network where that network is informed of, and
authorized to accept, purchase orders pursuant to any Contract resulting from this Solicitation on behalf
of the manufacturer or wholesale distributor Respondent. Any listed dealer/reseller will be considered a
sub-contractor of the Respondent. The relationship between the manufacturer and wholesale
distributor Respondent and its dealer/reseller network must be indicated at the time of the submission.

3.5. Dealer/Reseller as Respondent
If Respondent is a dealer/reseller of the products/services proposed, the response will be evaluated
based on the Respondent’s authorization to provide those products and services from the
manufacturer.
3.6. Approval by Manufacturer
Any awarded contractor must be approved by the manufacturer to sell, install, and service the brand of
equipment submitted. Respondents to this solicitation must submit an approval letter from each
manufacturer; authorization letters must include the regions in which equipment may be sold or
serviced.
3.7. Structure of Response
Depending on the Product or Service, market structures and sales practices can differ substantially. For
example, dealers may sell into any market or may be restricted to certain territories, manufacturers may
sell direct or be limited by law to selling through independent dealerships, etc. H-GAC’s objective is to
ensure that Customers, no matter where located, can buy contracted products/services and receive
quality and timely service and support, while allowing for the most appropriate and effective response
to this Solicitation. Responses to this Solicitation will only be accepted in conformance with the below
scenarios and requirements. Note: Respondent can only be a party to one response structure.
A. Single Respondent Acting Alone Or As "Lead" For A Group: Respondent must complete and
sign a Signature Page and all other required forms and, if contracted, will be solely responsible
for all contractual requirements including administration, processing of purchase orders and
handling of payments for transactions which may involve other dealers/distributors who deliver
the products or services. Unless stated otherwise, a manufacturer or wholesale distributor
Respondent is assumed to have a documented relationship with their dealer network where
that dealer network is informed of, and authorized to accept, purchase orders pursuant to any
Contract resulting from this Solicitation on behalf of the manufacturer or wholesale distributor
Respondent. Any listed dealer will be considered a sub-contractor of the Respondent. The use of
any dealer or reseller is not required if manufacturer or distributor does not employ such.
B. Multiple Respondents Acting Jointly: A single Response will be submitted, and each party to the
Response must complete and sign a Signature Page and all other required forms must be
included in the single Response. If the Response is successful, each party will sign a separate
contract with H-GAC and will be individually responsible for compliance with all terms and
conditions. Only those parties which have executed a contract with H-GAC are authorized to
process purchase orders for sales and payments under the HGACBuy program.
Contractor may sell through HGACBuy anywhere subject to compliance with applicable laws and
regulations. If the market structure in which Contractor operates requires a contract assignment for any
sale, in certain limited circumstances, H-GAC may allow the contract to be assigned to a Manufacturer or
another Dealer(s). Such assignment must be specific and detailed and must be approved by the

Contractor and H-GAC. Once assigned, the Contractor and assignee may NOT sell or service the same
product line or category.
Depending on the structure of the network, H-GAC recognizes in some cases it may be necessary for the
Purchase Order to be issued in the name of the reseller/dealer, etc., however the reseller, dealer, etc. is
recognized only as a sub-contractor and will not receive a separate contract award or be assigned any
portion of the contract. Any Lead Respondent utilizing a dealer/reseller network who is awarded a
contract will be responsible for the processing of the Purchase Order through the network and the
activities of the sale, reporting requirements, and remittance of applicable order processing fees.
3.8. Contractor Status
Contractor is required to provide a status form, which is not part of any evaluation, but may be relevant

business, or service-disabled veteran; etc.

3.9. Order Processing Fee or Administrative Fee
Fees established. For all completed transactions for new motor vehicles under an awarded contract,
Supplier will pay a flat Order Processing Fee equal to the current corresponding fee on the HGACBuy
Fee Schedule.
For all completed transactions for trailers, and all other products and services other than new motor
vehicles, supplier will pay a 2% Administrative Fee directly to H-GAC. Supplier will include this
Administrative Fee within its proposed pricing. Supplier may not directly charge Participating Entities
to offset the Administrative Fee. H-GAC will invoice the Supplier directly for the 2% H-GAC
Administrative Fee. It is the Supplier’s responsibility to remit the Administrative Fee within thirty (30)
days after delivery of goods or services to Participating Entity.
Fee Calculation. The 2% Administrative Fee payable is calculated based upon the purchase order total
amount of the Supplier’s awarded and contracted pricing. On transactions where the Supplier extends
an additional point of purchase discount, H-GAC Administrative Fee will be calculated before any such
discounts are applied. Supplier agrees that H-GAC will have the right, with reasonable notice, to inspect
its records pertaining to purchase orders processed and the accuracy of the fees payable to H-GAC.
Noncompliance. H-GAC reserves the right to seek all remedies available at law for unpaid or underpaid
Administrative or Order Processing Fees due under this Agreement. Failure to remit payment,
delinquent payments, underpayments, or other deviations from the requirements of this Agreement

8. DBE Sub-Contracting Goal
H-GAC’s goal is to ensure that small and minority businesses, women's business enterprises, veteran-
owned businesses, and labor surplus area firms (See U.S. Department of Labor's list) are used when
possible in providing services under a contract. In accordance with federal procurement requirements of
2 CFR §200.321, if subcontracts are to be let, the prime contractor must ensure the firms are considered
as set forth below:
Such consideration means:
(1) These business types are included on solicitation lists;
(2) These business types are solicited whenever they are deemed eligible as potential sources;
(3) Dividing procurement transactions into separate procurements to permit maximum participation by
these business types;
(4) Establishing delivery schedules (for example, the percentage of an order to be delivered by a given
date of each month) that encourage participation by these business types;
(5) Utilizing organizations such as the Small Business Administration and the Minority Business
Development Agency of the Department of Commerce; and
Nothing in this provision will be construed to require the utilization of any firm that is either unqualified
or unavailable.
The Small Business Administration (SBA) is the primary reference and database for information on
requirements related to Federal Subcontracting https://www.sba.gov/federal-contracting/contracting-
guide/prime-subcontracting.
The contractor agrees to work with and assist HGACBuy customers in meeting any targets and goals, as
may be required by any rules, processes, or programs they might have in place. Assistance may include
compliance with reporting requirements, provision of documentation, consideration of Certified/Listed
subcontractors, provision of documented evidence that an active participatory role for the declared
business type entity was considered in a procurement transaction, etc.

this option, Submissions would be re-evaluated by incorporating the information requested in the BAFO
document, including costs, and answers to specific questions presented in the document. The specific

new document. The request must include the new catalog or price sheet. All Products shall, at time of sale,

actual cost increase. The increase must be substantiated with support documentation acceptable to H-GAC
prior to taking effect. Modifications to a Product required to comply with such requirements which become
effective after the date of any sale are the responsibility of the Customer.

manufacturers of pricing changes in products, components, transportation, raw materials or commodities,
and/or product availability, copies of invoices from suppliers, etc.) clearly showing that Contractor's actual
costs have increased per the applicable line-item bid. The Producer Price Index (PPI) may be used as partial
justification, subject to approval by H-GAC, but no price increase based solely on an increase in the PPI will

website. The letter and documentation must be sent to Lead Program Coordinator, james.glover@h-gac.com.
5. Review/Approval of Requests

until Contractor receives this notice. If H-GAC does not approve Contractor’s price increase, Contractor may
terminate its performance upon sixty (60) days advance written notice to H-GAC, however Contractor must

Lauren Sills was 22 years old the first time she walked into a classroom and realized she had no idea what she had agreed to.She had come to Los Angeles through Teach for America, full of the particular confidence of someone who had grown up watching her grandfather govern a city, who had studied at Spelman, who had spent college internships in Senate offices and believed, not unreasonably, that intention was most of the work.The classroom disagreed.Her students were 10th- and 11th-graders at a school with limited resources, and four of the girls in her class were already mothers. The principal and both vice principals would be fired before October. By the end of her first year, 18 of the 27 or 28 teachers in her building had been let go or pushed out. Sills stayed, coached volleyball, taught geometry and history, and kept showing up.But she was taking notes on something else entirely: what it costs to do this work without any real infrastructure around you.That lesson, absorbed in a Los Angeles classroom years before she would go on to help oversee the NBA Foundation’s $300 million commitment to economic opportunity, was the quiet center of the conversation she sat down to have in Houston on May 22.The venue was Studio Eight08, an Emergent & Co. concept space tucked into Downtown Houston off Travis St. The evening was the soft launch of The Teachers’ Lounge, a new membership community from Reading with a Rapper built around a proposition that feels both obvious and overdue: that Houston’s educators deserve a room of their own.The room itself earned that idea. Networking bingo cards were handed out at the door as a tool that made strangers feel like they already had an excuse to talk. UNBRIDLED bourbon, a Kentucky-based spirit, kept attendees light on their feet as they sipped curated cocktails. Art covered the walls. Ninth Sage set the soundtrack for the space, and when Reading With A Rapper CEO and Co-Founder Jarren Small settled into his chair across from Sills for the evening’s fireside chat, the educators filling the seats leaned in not because they had to, but because they truly were curious about Lauren’s journey.Reading With A Rapper has been in this work since 2018, funding and equipping disadvantaged youth and communities through workshop programs and cultural experiences — a model that has reached more than a million students and clocked over
60 million minutes read. The organization, rooted in its parent nonprofit Legends Do Live, built its reputation on a simple conviction: that the children most overlooked by traditional education often respond most powerfully when the curriculum speaks their language.The Teachers’ Lounge extends that logic to the educators themselves. Part professional community, part curated lifestyle experience, the membership club is designed to be something like a Soho House for educators — a year-round space for connection, creativity, and the kind of career development that school districts, particularly right now, are not reliably providing.That last qualifier carries weight in Houston in 2026.Local unions say HISD has begun workforce cuts for an unknown number of employees ahead of the 2026-27 school year, with some uncertified teachers learning they cannot return to their roles after failing to earn certification within two years. HISD’s state-appointed board of managers granted administrators the authority to cut staff or reassign virtually all teaching positions and some central office jobs — a sweeping authorization that, even in its uncertainty, sends a message.The national climate has not been kinder. Federal rollbacks, eroded funding streams, and an ongoing legislative hostility toward public education have made the profession feel increasingly precarious for the teachers who can least afford precarity. In that environment, a membership club that offers community, career modeling, and bourbon in a candlelit venue is not a peripheral nicety. It is, in its way, a form of resistance.Which is part of why Lauren Sills was the right person to open The Teachers’ Lounge’s first chapter. Forward Times has covered her story before, with staff writer Terrance Turner previously capturing the full sweep of her career in detail. What the Studio Eight08 conversation offered was something different: Sills sitting close enough to the room that the room could feel her, telling the parts of the story that don’t fit neatly onto a LinkedIn profile.She talked about the administration at her school being toxic, about not having the language for it at 22 but knowing what she felt. She talked about spending her lunch breaks — twenty minutes at a time, day after day, for six months — on the phone with strangers who might know someone who could help her transition out of teaching and into government. She talked about going to Washington, D.C., during spring break to do interviews, about working in the Senate and discovering that gridlock keeps real change from happening, about watching a dynamic Black woman at a Chicago nonprofit receive a foundation grant and thinking, for the first time, that she wanted to be on the other side of that transaction.At each turn, the throughline was the same: she did not wait for a system to notice her. She built the scaffolding herself, one cold call at a time.The NBA Foundation, which she now helps lead, oversees programs including the NBA HBCU Fellowship, a 10-week internship where HBCU students work inside NBA offices — a program that drew 11,000 applicants for 70 spots in its most recent cycle. The scale is impressive. But what Sills brought to Studio Eight08 was the reminder that the most far-reaching work often begins in deeply personal places.That is the bet Reading with a Rapper is making with The Teachers’ Lounge. Not that every educator in Houston wants to leave the classroom — many don’t, and the city is better for their commitment. But that every educator deserves to know what their options are, what their skills are worth beyond the building they work in, and what their lives can hold outside of lesson plans and parent-teacher conferences. They deserve a community that sees their full range. They deserve, more than occasionally, a room where they are the guest of honor.Through this first event, Reading with a Rapper made the case it has been building toward for years: that the future of Houston’s classrooms depends not just on what we give students, but on how deeply we choose to invest in the people who show up for them every single day.The Teachers’ Lounge is open. Houston’s educators know where to find it.

Every musician has a beginning.Before the spotlight, before the applause and before the performance, there is often a teacher, mentor or community leader helping cultivate talent, preserve traditions and inspire the next generation.This Black Music Month, the Community Music Center of Houston (CMCH) is celebrating four women whose contributions have helped shape Houston’s musical landscape for decades.As part of its 11th Annual Legacy Project, CMCH will honor Dr. Anne Lundy, Dr. Ruth Stewart, Ina Zellers and Dr. Gloria Quinlan, educators, musicians and cultural stewards whose work has strengthened Houston’s Black musical heritage through teaching, performance and
community engagement.Through classrooms, performance spaces, churches and community institutions, Lundy, Stewart, Zellers and Quinlan have helped shape Houston’s cultural landscape. Their infl uence extends far beyond individual accomplishments, reaching generations of students, artists and community members.
Their collective impact serves as a reminder that music is not only performed. It is taught, preserved, remembered and passed on.
The celebration will take place Sunday, June 7, at the historic Eldorado Ballroom in the heart of Third Ward’s Cultural District. The afternoon will begin with the opening of “Music Is My Sanctuary,” a collaborative art exhibition presented with Community Artists’ Collective, followed by the Legacy Project concert and honoree celebration.Founded in 1979 by Ron Scales and Patricia Johnson, the Community Music Center of Houston has spent more than four decades serving as a cultural anchor for musicians, students and families throughout the region. Through music education, community programming
and live performances, the organization has worked to ensure that Black musical traditions continue to thrive across generations.The Legacy Project will also welcome a special guest performance from the Firey String Sistas, an acclaimed ensemble making its Houston debut.Performing at the Eldorado Ballroom, the New York-based group brings together a blend of jazz, soul, world music and global infl uences. At its core are three accomplished musicians: founder and cellist Nioka Workman, violinist Marlene Rice and pianist-vocalist Mala Waldron. Collectively, members of the ensemble have performed alongside renowned artists including Aretha Franklin, Beyoncé, Lauryn Hill and India Arie. Critics have described the group as both “supremely talented” and “poignant.”The setting itself carries special signifi cance.For generations, the Eldorado Ballroom has served as one of Houston’s most important cultural landmarks, hosting legendary performers such as Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, B.B. King and Houston’s own Jewel Brown. By bringing this year’s Legacy Project to the historic venue, organizers hope to connect the city’s musical past with its future.“CMCH’s Legacy Project is not just about looking back,” said Tweed Smith, singer, CMCH vocal instructor, former member of the funk group WAR and Hollywood Walk of Fame honoree. “It is about recognizing the people who built the cultural ground we stand on, and making sure their work continues to live in the present.”That commitment will extend beyond the June 7 celebration.This year, CMCH has partnered with the Rutherford B. H. Yates Museum and Freedmen’s Town Museums Houston to expand Black Music Month programming throughout June. Through exhibitions, cultural activations and public programs, the organizations aim to highlight the connections between music, history and community memory while creating opportunities for residents to engage with Houston’s rich cultural heritage.As Houston celebrates Black Music Month, the Legacy Project shines a spotlight on the educators, mentors and cultural pioneers whose contributions have helped shape generations of musicians and music lovers throughout the city.The Community Music Center of Houston’s 11th Annual Black Music Month Legacy Project begins Sunday, June 7, at the Eldorado Ballroom, 2310 Elgin St. The opening art exhibition begins at 2 p.m., followed by the Legacy Honoree Celebration and concert at 4 p.m.

EliLilly &Co.is on a
recordspending spree,
announcing acquisitions
worth more than $20bil-
lion so farin2026 as the
drugmaker expands be-
yond itsblockbuster obe-
sity franchise.
In recent weeks,Lilly
haspledgedtoshellout
up to $7.8 billion forsleep
drugmaker Centessa
Pharmaceuticals Plcand
up to $7 billion for cancer
drug developer Kelonia
Therapeutics—twoofits
most expensive deals ev-
er.OnTuesday,itagreed
to buythree vaccine de-
velopersfor as much as
$3.8 billion.
Thevalue of Lilly’s
deals is itshighesteverin
ayear,according to data
compiled by Bloomberg.
The$20 billion figure in-
cludes milestone pay-
ments.
There could be much
more tocome.
“Weare making more
offersthanyou can possi-
blyimagine,”Ja ke Va n
Naarden,Lilly’sheadof
oncologyand business
development,said at are-
cent conference.“What’s
interesting is howmany
of the multibilliondollar
dealsweare attempting
to do andgettingrebuffed
with some frequency.”
Va nNaarden andhis
team evaluate “atleast”10
potentialdeals aweek.
Theflurryofagree-
mentsshows howthe
world’slargest pharma-
ceuticalcompanyisusing
thewindfallfromits
weight-lossand diabetes
shotstodiversify itspipe-
line —mainly bytarget-
ingmedicines in earlier
stages rather than exist-
ingblockbusters.The
companyisalreadyseek-
ingits nextact —and
hoping to learnfrompast
mistakes of not doing so
sooner.
With amarketcapital-
ization around $1 trillion,
investorsstill have high
expectations for Lilly.
That means it needs to
avoidthe pitfalls that
have long plagued com-
panies fortunate enough
to have awildly profitable
drug.Lillyitselfhas fall-
en victimtothattrap:In
theearly 2000s,theloss
of patentprotections on
itsblockbuster depres-
sion drug Prozacsentthe
companyintoatailspin
as it struggled for ade-
cade to find itsfooting.
Lillystill has about a
decade of patentprotec-
tion leftonits best-selling
diabetes and obesity
drugsMounjaroand Zep-
bound.However,execu-
tivessay they don’twant
to restontheir laurels.
Deals have become a
ke ypartofthatstrategy,
helping Lillygrowquick-
ly in areas likecancer and
gene therapy where it
wasn’t as bigofaplaye r.
In somecases,thecom-
pany is placing betsin
areas where others have
struggled.It’s investing
heav ilyingene therapy,
an area of medicine that
some drugmakershave
abandoned because of its
high costs and uncertain
sales prospects.And Lil-
ly’s agreementwiththree
vaccine makers is hap-
pening as Robert F.Ken-
nedy Jr.,alongtimevac-
cine critic,leads theUS
DepartmentofHealth
andHuman Services.
“These acquisitions re-
flect adeliberate strategy
to preventdisease at its
source rather thantreat
itsconsequences,”Dan
Skovronsky,Lilly’schief
scientificand product of-
ficer,said in astatement
about thevaccine deals.
UnderChief Executive
Officer Dave Ricks,Lilly
is investing earlier in a
drug’s life cycle,when
medicines are typically
cheaper than those that
have completed large-
scale clinical studies.
While thecompanyhas
continued to targetdrugs
in earlier stages of deve l-
opment,recentdeals have
show nanewwillingness
to spend more on later-
stagemedicines that
couldgiveitacompetitive
edge in marke ts outside
of obesity.
About athird of Lilly’s
pipelineisnow genetic
medicines,mostofwhich
arestill in theearly stages
of development.That in-
cludes a$1.1 billiondeal
with German biotech
SeamlessTherapeutics
GmbH that Lillyinked in
Ja nuarytodevelop gene
therapies for hearing
loss.
Hearingloss is one of
thecornerstones of Lilly’s
genetic medicines portfo-
lio.Thecompanybought
AkouosInc.for about
$487 million in 2022,
gainingaccess to atreat-
ment for hearing loss
caused by genetic muta-
tions.Twoyears later,an
earlystage trial of the
medicinewas hailed as a
success when it allowed
an 11-year-old boytohear
forthe firsttime.That
drug hasnow advanced
to thenext phaseoftest-
ing.
Immunologyand neu-
roscience are twoother
areas where Lillyishunt-
ingfor deals to bolster ex-
istingbusinesses.
Thecompanytends to
look forpromising plat-
forms or technologies in
each area,rather than
payingapremium for one
specific drug.It’salsoin-
