All right. Welcome, welcome uh to our February fourth uh work session ahead of our council meeting. Thank you for all our guests being here. We have no work uh executive session, so you guys don't have to leave. So uh with that, uh council, we will uh we will go through our consent agenda items. Uh item number 10. Consider authorizing the city manager to enter into uh in which case let me also point out that our city manager is absent today, but our assistant city manager uh fully capable is right here to handle all the questions tough questions. Consider authorizing the city manager to enter into an agreement with Mercury Associates Inc. who the Omnia partners purchasing co-op for fleet consulting and analysis services in an amount not to exceed $99,000 fifty-one dollars even. This is in advance of our fleet RFP. Um I think the hope is is that we will we will ultimately award that to uh with this consultant's um help uh in October 2026. I got one question. What does that uh consult and analysis services consist of? Well, they're gonna help us uh analyze our current existing levels of service, they're gonna benchmark it against uh other cities uh in the nation, look at the services that we want our our vendor to provide. They're also gonna analyze uh potentially outsourcing emergency services vehicles to see how that would look. So they're gonna provide all those. So my question is um should they benchmark against other cities in the nation or our local cities around us? They'll do both. They'll do both. Okay. Thank you. Do these contractors also work with other cities in the area? Um, this is a nationwide company. Uh we know that they've done uh the city of Fort Worth's, uh they've done Arlington's, they've done some work for them. They've done Harris County, they've done a lot of big uh big municipalities and governments in in Texas. These cons this type of consultant is best practice, you would say for these uh cities of our size and bigger and smaller to have consultants work and walk them through a process. Yes, sir. Any other questions? All right. Yes, sorry. The Mercury Services, the contract is through another group. Is that kind of like um the other purchasing by boards and things that we use or how what is that relationship? They went through a purchasing co-op, so I guess it's like that. I just didn't recognize it. Okay. All right, number 11. Consider authorizing the city manager to approve a contract for the replacement of the urethane flooring in the Crosby Rec Center, showers and restrooms, uh by business flooring specialist inc, uh, through an interlocal agreement with by board purchasing co-op and an amount not to exceed 102,434. Any questions on the shower floors or got it? All right, number 12. Consider authorizing the city manager to approve a contract for the purchase of one HVAC air handling unit from train manufacturing through an interlocal agreement with the by board purchasing co-op and an amount not to exceed 126,001 even. Um it's a five-phase plan in terms of replacements.
