SUBJECT. (ALL)Authorize Purchase Agreement with GS 03 Services, LLC. for Teledyne Advance
Pollution Instrumentation Ozone Equipment, Parts, and Repairs for the Water
Department in an Annual Amount Up to $204,000.00 for the Initial Term and Authorize
Five One-Year Renewal Options for the Same Annual Amount
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize purchase agreement with GS 03 Services, LLC. for
teledyne advance pollution instrumentation ozone equipment, parts, and repairs for the Water
Department in an annual amount up to $204,000.00 for the initial term and authorize five one-year
renewal options for the same annual amount.
DISCUSSION:
The Water Department approached the Purchasing Division to procure an annual agreement for
Teledyne Advance Pollution Instrumentation (API) ozone equipment, parts, and repair services. The
City of Fort Worth (City)will utilize this agreement to purchase services and parts for ozone monitoring
equipment associated with the water/wastewater treatment and pumping facilities throughout the City.
In order to procure these services, Purchasing staff issued Invitation to Bid (ITB) No. 22-0182. The ITB
consisted of detailed specifications describing the qualifications and certifications required to perform
the services, repair and part requirements. The ITB was advertised in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram on
July 13, 2022, July 20, 2022, and August 3, 2022. A sole response was received.
An evaluation panel consisting of representatives from the Water and Property Management
Departments evaluated and scored the responses using Best Value criteria. The individual scores
were averaged for each of the criteria and the final scores are listed in the table below.

Best Value criteria:
A) Contractor's Qualifications, Experience, and References
B)Availability of Resources to Provide Services (personnel and equipment)
C) Contractor's Ability to Meet the City's Needs
D) Cost of service
After evaluation, the panel concluded that GS 03 Services, LLC. presents both the best value and the
necessary coverage for the City. Therefore, the panel recommends that Council authorize agreements
with GS 03 Services, LLC. No guarantee was made that a specific amount of services would be
purchased. Staff certifies that the recommended vendor bids met specifications.
FUNDING: The maximum annual amount allowed under this agreement will be $204,000.00, however
the actual amount used will be based on the need of the department and available budget. Funding
will be budgeted in Other Contractual Services account within the Water& Sewer Operating Fund for

end one year from that date.
RENEWAL OPTIONS: This agreement may be renewed for up to five (5) one-year terms 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.

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.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendation and adoption of
the Fiscal Year 2023 Budget by the City Council, funds will be available in the Fiscal Year
2023 operating budget, as appropriated, in the Water& Sewer Fund. Prior to an expenditure being
incurred, the Water Department has the responsibility to validate the availability of funds.
