EXEMPTION FORM PRIMER
Below are explanations and examples of common exemptions that could apply to City purchases.
If you have questions about the information provided or need additional information, please
contact your department's assigned attorney or the appropriate purchasing attorney.
1. A procurement necessary to preserve or protect the public health or safety of the
municipality's residents;
Examples of activities that have been found to fall within this exception include ambulance
services;solid waste collection and disposal;and first-responder safety equipment such as
breathing apparatus for firefighters and bullet-proof vests for police officers.
2. A procurement necessary because of unforeseen damage to public machinery,equipment,
or other property,
Examples of this type of procurement would include repairing or replacing roofs and
windows damaged by hail or a tornado.But parts and services for routine maintenance or
replacement of old,worn out roofs or windows would not meet this exception.
I A procurement for personal,professional,or planning services;
Personal services are ones that are unique to the individual providing them. Therefore
personal services contract cannot generally be subcontracted or assigned.
Professional services are not defined under Chapter 252, so there is no precise definition
to follow. There is no universal definition of this term, however, "several cases suggest
that it... 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.
4. 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.A sole source does not exist solely
on the basis of personal or departmental preference or a desire to keep all units the same
brand or make. The information needed to support this exemption is that no other provider
Page 5 of 6
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.

Power,LLC for original equipment manufacturer Allison transmission parts and repairs in an amount
up to$770,000.00 per year with four one-year renewal options for the Property Management
Department.
DISCUSSION:
The Property Management Department(PMD)approached the Purchasing Division for assistance in
obtaining replacement parts and services to maintain City owned Allison equipment. Industrial Power,
LLC is the authorized service facility for Allison transmission maintenance,service repairs and original
equipment manufacturer(OEM)replacement parts. The City of Fort Worth has class 6-8 vehicles and
equipment that are equipped with Allison transmissions and range in model year from 1975 to 2018.
Allison transmissions offer OEM parts needed to ensure optimal performance from equipment
during standard business hours and after hour field service calls.
Staff reviewed the prices and determined them to be fair and reasonable. No guarantee was made
that a specific amount of goods and services would be purchased.The City anticipates spending
approximately$770,000.00 during the first agreement period,which provides an adequate amount of
funds for repairs and service needed for City equipment.
Funding is budgeted in the Fleet Service Outside Repair&Maintenance account of the Property
Managment Department's Fleet&Equipment Service Fund.

Taylor Paris. Therefore,the business equity goal requirement is not applicable.
This procurement is exempted from the competitive bidding requirements as provided for under
Section 252.022(7)of the Texas Local Government Code because, Industrial Power is the
documented sole source original equipment manufacturer Allison transmission parts, repairs and
maintenance services for Allision transmissions.
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.
Upon City Council approval,the Agreement shall begin upon execution of the Agreement and expire
one year from that date.
RENEWAL OPTIONS-This Agreement may be renewed for four additional one-year renewal
periods. 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.
