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.
