Request for approval of a renewal option with 3L USA for emergency rental of fuel tanks for Harris County for the period of September 1, 2026 - August 31, 2027, at a cost of $150,000 (240110), Justification for 0% MWBE Participation Goal: 0% - Drop Shipped.
Harris County may renew a $150,000 contract with 3L USA for emergency fuel tank rentals from September 2026 through August 2027.
Harris County Commissioners Court is set to vote on July 9, 2026 on renewing a contract with 3L USA for emergency rental of fuel tanks. The one-year renewal runs September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027 at a cost of $150,000. 3L USA rents fuel tanks ranging from 250 to 20,000 gallons to support county departments that need on-site fuel storage for emergencies and equipment. The contract carries a 0% MWBE participation goal, justified as a drop-shipped arrangement.
Harris County would spend $150,000 of public funds to rent emergency fuel tanks for county departments. Residents may care because this affects how the county prepares for emergencies and how tax dollars are spent.
