City Council 11/10/2026

The City of El Paso City Council meeting on November 10, 2026, included several procurement and capital-planning actions. Council unanimously approved the International Bridges Department’s five-year capital improvement program, totaling an estimated $72.55 million, and awarded GFT Incorporated a professional-services contract of approximately $3.75 million for the Ysleta Port of Entry expansion feasibility study and master plan. Council also approved a non-exclusive waste-container franchise for Beru Enterprises, Inc. and a $759,998 budget transfer of eligible expenses to ARPA funding to support fire-department fleet routers and related equipment. In a separate Mass Transit Department board meeting, members unanimously authorized purchase orders under solicitation 2026-0344 for enterprise resource planning software and support from Avail Technologies; the vendor must provide a sole-source letter and affidavit annually. No amount was stated for that purchase.

Other spending-related business included unanimous approval of a second amendment to the Capital South entitlement agreement, which sets a reimbursement cap of $328 million and is projected to generate more than $550 million in city revenue over the agreement term; the amendment adjusts the timing of reimbursements for planned development. Staff also presented the City’s selection through a competitive RFP to serve as the El Paso Continuum of Care collaborative applicant, with an estimated annual allocation of $432,920 and a required 25% match of $108,230 to be covered by existing personnel. The transcript ends during discussion of this item, so a final vote is not captured. Council separately approved public disclosure of reconciled travel expenses for the mayor and council on meeting agendas.
