City Council 9/1/2026

The City Council of El Paso, Texas, held a meeting on September 1, 2026, which included significant procurement and contracting discussions. Key agenda items involved awarding major construction contracts funded by voter-approved bonds and federal grants. The council approved a $21.3 million contract to Dan Williams Company for the ALP terminal ramp reconstruction at El Paso International Airport, with plans to phase construction to minimize travel disruption. Additionally, contracts were awarded to International Eagle Enterprises Inc. for two road extension projects: Wrestler Drive extension at approximately $12.6 million and Montwood extension at about $18.2 million, both funded by the 2022 community progress bond. The council also approved a solicitation for state lobbying services with Holland and Knight to support El Paso's legislative agenda, including public safety and infrastructure priorities. Motions for contract awards passed unanimously, and the council discussed coordination efforts for project scheduling and property acquisition. Other topics included a comprehensive anti-DWI strategy presentation by the police department, but no direct procurement actions were associated with that discussion.
