Willacy County Commissioners Court 08/24/2026

The Willacy County Commissioners Court held a meeting on August 24, 2026, primarily focused on emergency procurement related to roadway repairs in Precinct 2 caused by pipeline construction activities. The court discussed and approved an exemption from the County Purchasing Act to allow emergency procurement without the usual competitive bidding process, citing public safety concerns due to hazardous road conditions impeding emergency services. The pipeline construction company accepted financial responsibility for the repairs. The court then selected Asago LLC as the vendor to perform immediate roadway repairs, with a contract not to exceed $150,000, to be reimbursed by the pipeline company. The court also approved an emergency order formalizing these actions. These procurement decisions were made to expedite repairs and ensure public safety without delay.
