Verify Criado cumulative contract value against Dallas re-procurement cap
Why now: Matter 26-1299A is framed as a supplement rather than a new competitive procurement, and the April 20, 2026 Transportation and Infrastructure Committee agenda disclosed neither the cumulative contract total nor the original solicitation under which Criado was first selected.
What to do: Pull Criado Engineering's original city contract and every prior supplement to calculate total cumulative award value — if amendments have grown the original past 25% under Dallas purchasing policy, the city must justify the expansion or initiate a new qualifications-based selection, and the full council vote is the last practical window to raise that objection.
Act before: After full council vote on matter 26-1299A
File records request for Criado Engineering's full Love Field contract history
Why now: The April 20, 2026 committee agenda listed 26-1299A without disclosing the original contract value, cumulative total, or original solicitation method, even as $7.5M of the $11.6M total agenda spend was directed to Love Field infrastructure without a competitive-bid notation.
What to do: File a public records request for Criado Engineering's original city contract, all prior supplements, and the specific dollar amount of this supplement — the April 20 agenda left unanswered whether this is a legitimate incremental amendment or a de facto sole-source expansion that bypassed competitive selection.
Act before: After records request response (typically 10 business days)
Contact Transportation Committee members before Love Field supplement reaches full council
Why now: Matter 26-1299A had a single committee appearance on April 20, 2026, has not yet been posted to full council, and the available record shows no conditions or holds were attached at committee.
What to do: Reach out now to Transportation and Infrastructure Committee members who heard the April 20 agenda to determine whether any conditions or reservations were attached to the Criado supplement — once the item is posted on the full council consent agenda, the window to add conditions or request supplemental documentation closes permanently.
Act before: After matter is posted to full council consent agenda
