an automatic renewal clause that exceeds month to month terms with which the TIPS Member must comply.
All renewal terms incorporated in an Agreement by the vendor with the TIPS Member shall only be valid and
enforceable when the vendor receives written confirmation by purchase order,executed Agreement or other
written instruction issued by the TIPS Member for any renewal period. The purpose of this clause is to avoid a
TIPS Member inadvertently renewing an Agreement during a period in which the governing body of the TIPS

is not negotiable and any Agreement between a TIPS Member and a TIPS awarded vendor with an automatic
renewal clause that conflicts with these terms is rendered void and unenforceable.

CONTRACT INFORMATION CONTRACT END DATE
DIR-TSO-3943 Technology Based Conferencing August 2, 2021
FTIPS Contract No. 171001 Audio Visual Equipment/Services March 26,2020
7IPS Contract No. 161101 Interactive Presentation Systems 7ebruary 27,2020
PRICE ANALYSIS - The Interlocal Purchasing System (TIPS) and Texas Department Information
Resources (DIR) contracts offer fixed discounts. Staff reviewed the pricing and found pricing to be fair
and reasonable.
COOPERATIVE PURCHASE - State law provides that a local government purchasing an item under a
Cooperative Purchasing Agreement satisfies any state law requiring that the local government seek
competitive bids for purchase of the item. The TIPS and DIR contracts were competitively bid to increase
and simplify the purchasing power of government entities across the State of Texas.
M/WBE OFFICE - A MBE/SBE goal is not assigned when purchasing from an approved purchasing
cooperative or public entity.
SUCCESSOR CONTRACTS - To facilitate planning and budgeting, Staff would prefer to have annual
Agreements that align with the Fiscal Year. However, the TIPS and DIR Agreements are out of alignment
with the City's Fiscal Year and the current terms will expire on the dates included above. In order for
these Agreements to align with the City's Fiscal Year, adoption of this Mayor and Council Communication
(M&C) technically authorizes (i) a series of Purchase Agreements, each of which will align to a term of the
DIR or TIPS Agreement to ensure legal authority exists for the contract, and (ii) an annual spend amount,
future years of which would be subject to City Council appropriation. In the event that a Cooperative
Agreement is not renewed, Staff would cease purchasing at the end of the last Purchase Agreement
coinciding with the valid Cooperative Agreements. If the City Council were to not appropriate funds for a
future year, Staff would stop making purchases when the last appropriation expires, regardless of
whether the then-current Purchase Agreement has expired.
The City will initially use TIPS Contract No. 171001, TIPS Contract No. 161101, and DIR Contract No.
DIR-TSO 3943 to make purchases authorized by this M&C. As noted, TIPS Contract No. 171001 expires
on March 26, 2020, TIPS Contract No. 161101 expires February 27, 2020, and DIR-TSO-3943 expires on
August 2, 2021. If TIPS Contract Nos. 171001 and 161101 and DIR Contract No. DIR-TSO-3943 are
extended, this M&C authorizes the City to purchase similar equipment and supplies under the extended
contracts. If TIPS Contract Nos. 171001 and 161001 and DIR Contract No. DIR-TSO-3943 are not
extended, but TIPS and DIR execute new cooperative contracts with Digital Recourses with substantially
similar terms as TIPS Contract Nos. 171001 and 161101 and DIR Contract No. DIR-TSO-3943, this M&C
authorizes the City to purchase the equipment and supplies under the new TIPS and DIR contracts.
ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGE ORDER- An administrative change order or increase may be made by the
City Manager in the amount up to $50,000.00 and does not require specific City Council approval as long
as sufficient funds have been appropriated.
AGREEMENT TERM - Upon City Council's approval, this Agreement shall commence on August 8, 2018
and shall expire to correspond with the terms of the cooperative contract.
RENEWAL OPTIONS - This Agreement may be renewed for additional one-year terms according to the
cooperative agreement at the City's option. This action does not require specific City Council approval
provided that the City Council has appropriated sufficient funds to satisfy the City's obligations during the
renewal term. Staff anticipates the cost for renewal years will be the same as for the first year.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that funds are available within the existing appropriations of the General
Capital Project Fund, PEG Fees, for these expenditures, and that prior to an expenditure being made, the
participating department has the responsibility to validate the availability of funds.
