If you have questions about the information provided or need additional information, please contact your department's assigned attorney or the appropriate purchasing attorney. 1. A procurement necessary to preserve or protect the public health or safety of the municipality's residents; Examples of activities that have been found to fall within this exception include ambulance services; solid waste collection and disposal; and first-responder safety equipment such as breathing apparatus for firefighters and bullet-proof vests for police officers. 2. A procurement necessary because of unforeseen damage to public machinery, equipment, or other property; Examples of this type of procurement would include repairing or replacing roofs and windows damaged by hail or a tornado. But parts and services for routine maintenance or replacement of old, worn out roofs or windows would not meet this exception. 3. A procurement for personal,professional, or planning services; Personal services are ones that are unique to the individual providing them. Therefore personal services contract cannot generally be subcontracted or assigned. Professional services are not defined under Chapter 252, so there is no precise definition to follow. There is no universal definition of this term, however, "several cases suggest that it... is `predominately mental or intellectual, rather than physical or manual."' Tex. Atty Gen Op. JM-940 (1988) (quoting Maryland Casualty Co. v. Cray Water 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 attainment 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 intellectual skill required by the person while performing the service. Purchases of goods are not professional services. 4. 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.A sole source does not exist solely on the basis of personal or departmental preference or a desire to keep all units the same brand or make. The information needed to support this exemption is that no other provider Page 6 of 7 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.
