SUBJECT:
Adopt a Supplemental Appropriation Ordinance Increasing Appropriations in the Stormwater Utility Fund by
$398,531.00 and Decreasing the Unaudited, Unreserved, Undesignated Stormwater Utility Fund
Balance by the Same Amount, Authorize the Purchase of a Crane Truck from Southwest International
Trucks, Inc., Using a Texas Association of School Boards Cooperative Contract, for the Transportation and
Public Works Department for a Total Amount of $398,531.00
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached supplemental appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and
appropriations in the Stormwater Utility Fund in the amount of $398,531.00 and decreasing the unaudited,
unreserved, undesignated fund balance by the same amount; and
2. Authorize the purchase of a crane truck from Southwest International Trucks, Inc., using the Texas
Association of School Boards Cooperative Contract No. 358-10, for the Transportation and Public Works
Department for a total amount of $398,531.00, with payment due 30 days from receipt of invoice.
DISCUSSION:
The Transportation and Public Works Department will use this crane truck daily to clean and clear
channels and culverts, which will reduce flood risk during heavy rain events. This crane truck will eliminate
the need for crews to work in standing and rushing water while working to clear obstructions from storm
water facilities. This unit is an addition to the City's fleet and allows the City to increase specialized
channel maintenance.
This equipment meets required specifications and is expected to operate satisfactorily during its service
life. Warranty information, manufacturer's statement of origin, and original sales invoices will accompany
the equipment upon delivery to the Southside Service Center at 4100 Columbus Trail.
PRICE ANALYSIS -The City does not have any recent purchase history with this type of equipment. The
price was obtained using TASB Contract No. 358-10. The base truck chassis is provided as a firm bid
price, and the City receives a 20 percent discount off the Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price (MSRP)
on the options. Staff has reviewed the pricing and determined it to be fair and reasonable.
COOPERATIVE PURCHASE -State law provides that a local government purchasing an item under a
cooperative purchasing agreement satisfies state laws requiring that the local government seek
competitive bids for purchase of the item. TASB contracts have been competitively bid to increase and
simplify the purchasing power of local government entities across the State of Texas.

M/WBE - A waiver of the goal for MNVBE subcontracting requirements was requested by the Purchasing
Division and approved by the M/WBE Office because the purchase of goods or services is from sources
where subcontracting or supplier opportunities are negligible.
FISCAL INFORMATION /CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations
and adoption of the supplemental appropriation ordinance, funds will be avaliable in the current operating
budget as appropriated of the Stormwater Utility Fund.
