On September 15, 2020, City Council approved M&C 20-0650 authorizing similar agreements for information technology infrastructure purchases.
Due to unanticipated projects related to COVID and a new City Hall additional spending authority is being requested.To avoid any confusion,
approval of this M&C will eliminate prior spending authority and contracts authorized under Mayor and Council Communication P-12248, 19-0123,
19-0270 and 20-0650.
In the previous years,the Information Technology Solutions Department spent approximately$1.7 million in authorized expenditures out of the
operating and capital fund.Approval of this M&C will allow a total of$6,934,000.00 in expenditures for the initial year,$5,534,000.00 for the first
renewal,$5,184,000.00 for the second renewal,$4,434,000.00 for the remainder renewals for projects such as safety and security, new building
projects, building upgrades, building renovations and building expansion projects.Staff anticipate additional needs with the purchase of a new City
Hall building and the technology upgrade project at the Fort Worth Convention Center.These agreements and spending authority will be made
available to Radio Services, Desktop, Hardware and Security divisions to purchase hardware and software for City departments as requested.
It is requested that City Council ratify expenditures in the amount of$70,200.00. In anticipation of a new M&C, ITS staff executed a contract with
Word Wide Technology LLC in the amount of$70,200.00.This expenditure was for professional services needed to upgrade our Unified
Communications platforms.The platform was overdue for security and performance updates and there was limited in house experience. The
quick turnaround was based on FY21 operational spend timelines.
ITS Department will ensure that each vendor is given equal opportunity to earn a minimum of 10%of the business. No specific contract amount is
guaranteed.
PRICE ANALYSIS-The Texas Department of Information Resources Contracts(DIR)and The Interlocal Purchasing System Cooperative
Contracts offer discounted pricing. 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 any state law requiring that the local government seek competitive bids for the purchase of items. DIR and TIPS Contracts are
competitively bid to increase and simplify the purchasing power of government entities.
M/WBE- An MBE/SBE goal is not assigned when purchasing from an approved purchasing cooperative or public entity.
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.
SUCCESSOR LANGUAGE:The City will initially use these DIR Contracts to make purchases authorized by this M&C. The Cooperative
Contracts are set to expire on various dates. If the DIR contracts are extended,this M&C authorizes the City to purchase similar equipment and
supplies under the extended contract. If the DIR contracts are not extended, but DIR executes new cooperative contracts with substantially similar
terms,this M&C authorizes the City to purchase the same equipment and supplies under the new DIR contracts. If this occurs, in no event will the
City continue to purchase goods and services under the new DIR agreements past 2026 without seeking Council approval.
AGREEMENT TERM: Upon City Council's approval,these agreements will be executed and continue for a term of 12 months in accordance with
approval date of this request.The agreements will renew on an annual basis thereafter.The renewals do not require specific City Council approval
as long as sufficient funds have been appropriated.
RENEWAL TERMS-The Texas Department of Information Resources Contracts(DIR)Agreement may be renewed annually for five(5)one-year
terms for the same annual amount.The Interlocal Purchasing System Cooperative Contracts may be renewed for one-year for the same annual
amount.The renewals do not require specific City Council approval as long as sufficient funds have been appropriated.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that funds are available in the current capital and operating budgets,as previously appropriated, in the ITS
Capital&Culture&Tourism Cap Projects Funds for the Technology Infrastructure-IT&Technology SCN FWCC projects and the General Fund to
support the approval of the above recommendation and exection of the purchase agreements. Prior to any expenditure being incurred,the
Information Technology Services Department has the responsibility to validate the availability of funds.
