DISCUSSION: The Purchasing Division will use this authorization to contract with local governments and local cooperative organizations to obtain goods or services. The use of these contracts allows the City of Fort Worth to take advantage of lower prices without the cost of competitive bidding by obtaining access to existing competitively procured contracts with entities such as Tarrant County, Houston- Galveston Area Council, Texas Association of School Boards' Local Government Purchasing Cooperative and U.S. Communities. This authorization will allow other local governments such as Tarrant County, the City of Arlington and the City of Grand Prairie to participate in contracts awarded by the City of Fort Worth that may result in the addition of other entities' quantities at the next bidding opportunity. Increasing the volume of goods and services bid increases the possibility of lower prices to the City through greater economies of scale. Either of the contract participants may terminate the agreement with written notice to the other party. Section 271.102(a) of the Texas Local Government Code allows local governments to participate in cooperative purchasing programs. Section 271.102(c) of the Code provides that a local government purchasing goods or services under a cooperative purchasing program satisfies any state law requiring that the local government seek competitive bids for purchase of the goods or services. The contracts for goods and services have been competitively bid to increase and simplify the purchasing power of local governments across the State of Texas. The Law Department recommends that the Purchasing Division review these agreements periodically. The last M&C regarding execution of agreements with these cooperatives was approved on March 27, 2001 (M&C C-18510). Going forward these agreements will be reviewed every five years. mhtml:file://C:\Documents and Settings\jacksom\My Documents\JPMorganChase P Card\P Card Agreem... 8/17/2011 Approval of this Mayor and Council Communication will not commit the City to spend any funds. Purchases exceeding the administrative procurement threshold provided in the City Code of Ordinances will be presented to Council for authorization as required. FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION: The Finance Director certifies that the execution of these cooperative purchasing agreements will have no material effect on City funds.
