RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize an increase to the Cooperative Agreement with Fastenal Company in
the amount of $100,000.00, for a total annual amount of $200,000.00, for facilities maintenance, repair & operations, and industrial supplies for all

DISCUSSION:
On July 18, 2018, the City of Fort Worth entered into an agreement with Fastenal Company under TXMAS Cooperative Agreement, No. TXMAS-
18-51V07, in an amount up to $100,000.00. This contract agreement allows the City to purchase facilities maintenance and industrial supplies.
The increased spending with Fastenal Company is being requested because the Water Department is currently in the process of changing all of
the City's water meters to smart meters. The Water Department uses this agreement to purchase steel nuts, bolts, meter plugs, meter locks and
keys, and various minor equipment. Purchasing requests that City Council authorize an increase to the above described contract by $100,000.00
to accommodate the increased, and necessary, spending. The total amount of the new agreement would be $200,000.00.
AGREEMENT TERM - The current agreement term is from June 28, 2019 to June 30, 2020. Upon the expiration of the current term, the City will
have three (3) options to renew the agreement.
ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGE ORDER - An administrative change order or increase may be made by the City Manager up to the amount allowed
by relevant law and the Fort Worth City Code and does not require specific City Council approval as long as sufficient funds have been
appropriated.
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.
The Cooperative Agreement serves ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
M/WBE: A MBE/SBE goal is not assigned when purchasing from an approved purchasing cooperative or public entity.
A Form 1295 is not required because: This contract will be with a publicly -traded business entity or a wholly -owned subsidiary of a publicly -traded
business entity: Fastenal Company
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that funds are available in the current operating budget, as previously appropriated, in the participating
