units must be compatible because it is a proprietary system. Components and connections from

were no other xray systems that are compatible with our current system. Additionally, no other
system offers remote imaging, which is necessary for the work the unit is being purchased to
perform.

EXEMPTION FORM PRIMER
Below are explanations and examples of common exemption that apply to municipal
purchases. If you have questions about the information provided or need additional
information,please contact your department's assigned attorney.
1. A procurement made because of a public calamity that requires the immediate
appropriation of money to relieve the necessity of the municipality's residents or to preserve
the property of the municipality. This is generally used in cases of public emergency.
2. A procurement necessary to preserve or protect the public health or safety of the
municipality's residents. This is a factual determination that will be used when the purchase
directly impacts public health and safety. Please note, this is generally a very narrow exception.
3. A procurement necessary because of unforeseen damage to public machinery,
equipment, or other property. Damage or immediately foreseeable damage that is caused by an
unexpected event. This will generally be used when a natural disaster or unforeseen failure
occurs that impacts other property.
4. A procurement for personal,professional, or planning services;
Professional services are not defined under Chapter 252, so there is no precise
definition to follow. However, the Texas Attorney General has suggested that a
professional service
comprehends labor and skill that is `predominately mental or intellectual,rather than physical
or manual."'Tex.Atty Gen Op. JM-940 (1988) (quoting Maryland Casualty Co. v. Cray
Water Co., 160 S.W. 2d 102 (Tex. Civ. App.—Eastland 1942,no writ). The Texas Attorney
General has also opined that`professional services"no longer includes only the services of
lawyers,physicians, or theologians,but also those members of disciplines requiring special
knowledge or attainment and a high order of learning, skill, and intelligence. Id.
Facts needed to support a professional service exemption include the specialized requirements
of that profession and the mental and intellectual skill required by the person while
performing the service. Purchases of goods are not professional services.
5. A procurement of items that are available from only one source.
This exemption is commonly referred to as the sole source exemption. In determining whether a
purchase is of a good or service that is available from one source, you should not consider price or
time to receive the good or service. The information needed to support this exemption, is that no
other provider can provide the service or category of good except for the vendor you are proposing.
Some examples of sole source purchases include service agreements when only one vendor is
authorized to work on the equipment by the manufacturer and allowing another vendor would void
the warranty; purchase of a good that is copyrighted or trademarked and only provided by one
vendor. Page 4 of 4
