The Harlingen City Commission approved funding April 15 for roof restoration and replacement of air conditioning units at Fire Station One.
Staff said the projects were procured using the city’s quote process for purchases under $50,000, that three quotes were solicited and the selected provider submitted the lowest quote. Commissioners requested copies of all quotes and a grading matrix for future procurements to ensure transparency. One commissioner said the firehouse has long been in need of repair and asked staff to consider a long‑term relocation because the current station sits in a flood‑prone area; staff said relocation would require commission approval and additional planning.
The motion to approve the work passed by voice vote; staff committed to provide the commission with the complete set of quotes and the evaluation matrix.
