Adopt the attached supplemental appropriation ordinance increasing appropriations in the Culture and Tourism Fund by $465,362.71 and decreasing the unaudited, unreserved, undesignated Culture and Tourism fund balance by the same amount; and 2. Authorize the purchase of furniture from Palmer Snyder Furniture Company Inc., for the Will Rogers Memorial Center and the Fort Worth Convention Center, through a Texas Multiple Award Schedule Contract in the amount of $465,362.71. DISCUSSION: The Public Events Department will use Texas Multiple Award Schedule ( TXMAS) Contract No. 425 -N1 to acquire carts and tables for the Will Rogers Memorial Center (WRMC) and the Fort Worth Convention Center (FWCC). The new tables will serve as replacements and additional stock for WRMC and FWCC. This purchase includes tables to accommodate patrons using these facilities and carts used by staff to transport multiple tables. PRICE ANALYSIS - The City has no recent purchase history for this equipment. The department reviewed the TXMAS contract and concluded that the prices are reasonable. M/WBE - A waiver of the goal for M/WBE 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. 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 these items. TXMAS contracts have been competitively bid to increase and simplify the purchasing power of local governmental entities across the State of Texas.
