Yes or a No Ifym,p Approved by: Ao,Aim Pabe,ACA I EXEMPTION FORM PRMLL Below are explanations and examples of common exemption that apply to municipal purchases. If you have questions about the information provided or need additional information,please contact your department's assigned attorney. 1. A procurement made because of a public calamity that requires the immediate appropriation of money to relieve the necessity of the municipality's residents or to preserve the property of the municipality.This is generally used in cases of public emergency. 2_ A procurement necessary to preserve or protect the public health or safety of the municipality's residents.This is a factual determination that will be used when the purchase directly impacts public health and safety.Please note,this is generally a very narrow exception. 3_ A procurement necessary because of unforeseen damage to public machinery,equipmem or other property_Damage or immediately foreseeable damage that is caused by an unexpected event.This will generally be used when a natural disaster or unforeseen failure occurs that impacts other property. 4. A procurement for personal,professional,or planning services; Professional services are not defined under Chapter 252,so there is no precise definition to follow.However,the Texas Attorney General has suggested that a professional service comprehends labor and skill that is`predominately mental or intellectual.rather than physical or manual.— Tex.Atty Gen Op.]M-940(1988)(quoting Maryland Casualty Co.v.Qay Rater Co., 160 S.W.2d 102(Tex.Civ.App.--Eastland 1942,no writ). The Texas Attorney General has also opined that'professional services"no longer includes only the services of lawyers, physicians,or theologians.but also those members of disciplines requiring special knowledge or attaitunent and a high order of learning,skill,and intelligence_ Id. Facts needed to support a professional service exemption include the specialized requirements of that profession and the mental and mtellectual skill required by the person while performing the service.Purchases of goods are not professional services- 5- A procurement of items that are available from only one source_ This exemption is commonly referred to as the sole source exemption.In determining whether a purchase is of a good or service that is available from one source,you should not consider price or time to receive the good or service.The information needed to support this exemption,is that no other provider can provide the service or category of good except for the vendor you are proposing.Some examples of sole source purchases include service agreements when only one vendor is authorized to work on the equipment by the manufacturer and allowing another vendor would void the warranty;purchase of a good that is copyrighted or trademarked and only provided by one vendor.
