Agreement requires City to pay attorneys' fees for any action contemplated or taken, or penalties or
liquidated damages in any amount, City objects to these terms and any such terms are hereby deleted
from the Agreement and shall have no force or effect.
3. Law and Venue. The Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall
be governed by, and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States and state of Texas,
exclusive of conflicts of laws provisions. Venue for any suit brought under the Agreement shall be in a

governed by any state law other than Texas or venue in Tarrant County, City objects to such terms and
any such terms are hereby deleted from the Agreement and shall have no force or effect.
4. Linked Terms and Conditions. If the Agreement contains a website link to terms and
conditions, the linked terms and conditions located at that website link as of the effective date of the
Agreement shall be the linked terms and conditions referred to in the Agreement. To the extent that the
linked terms and conditions conflict with any provision of either this Addendum or the Agreement, the
provisions contained within this Addendum and the Agreement shall control. If any changes are made
to the linked terms and conditions after the date of the Agreement, such changes are hereby deleted and
void. Further, if Vendor cannot clearly and sufficiently demonstrate the exact terms and conditions as of
the effective date of the Agreement, all of the linked terms and conditions are hereby deleted and void.
5. Insurance. The City is a governmental entity under the laws of the state of Texas and
pursuant to Chapter 2259 of the Texas Government Code, entitled "Self -Insurance by Governmental
Units," is self -insured and therefore is not required to purchase insurance. To the extent the Agreement
requires City to purchase insurance, City objects to any such provision, the parties agree that any such
requirement shall be null and void and is hereby deleted from the Agreement and shall have no force or
effect. City will provide a letter of self -insured status as requested by Vendor.

the liability of Vendor or requires City to indemnify or hold Vendor or any third party harmless from

8. IP Indemnification. Vendor agrees to indemnify, defend, settle, or pay, at its own
cost and expense, including the payment of attorney's fees, any claim or action against the City for
infringement of any patent, copyright, trade mark, service mark, trade secret, or other intellectual
property right arising from City's use of the Deliverable(s), or any part thereof, in accordance
with the Agreement, it being understood that the agreement to indemnify, defend, settle or pay
shall not apply if City modifies or misuses the Deliverable(s). So long as Vendor bears the cost and
expense of payment for claims or actions against the City pursuant to this section 8, Vendor shall
have the right to conduct the defense of any such claim or action and all negotiations for its
settlement or compromise and to settle or compromise any such claim; however, City shall have
the right to fully participate in any and all such settlement, negotiations, or lawsuit as necessary to
protect the City's interest, and City agrees to cooperate with Vendor in doing so. In the event City,
for whatever reason, assumes the responsibility for payment of costs and expenses for any claim
or action brought against the City for infringement arising under the Agreement, the City shall
have the sole right to conduct the defense of any such claim or action and all negotiations for its
settlement or compromise and to settle or compromise any such claim; however, Vendor shall fully
participate and cooperate with the City in defense of such claim or action. City agrees to give
Vendor timely written notice of any such claim or action, with copies of all papers City may receive
relating thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City's assumption of payment of costs or
expenses shall not eliminate Vendor's duty to indemnify the City under the Agreement. If the
Deliverable(s), or any part thereof, is held to infringe and the use thereof is enjoined or restrained
or, if as a result of a settlement or compromise, such use is materially adversely restricted,
Vendor shall, at its own expense and as City's sole remedy, either: (a) procure for City the right to
continue to use the Deliverable(s); or (b) modify the Deliverable(s) to make them/it non -infringing,
provided that such modification does not materially adversely affect City's authorized use of the
Deliverable(s); or (c) replace the Deliverable(s) with equally suitable, compatible, and functionally
equivalent non -infringing Deliverable(s) at no additional charge to City; or (d) if none of the
foregoing alternatives is reasonably available to Vendor, terminate the Agreement, and refund all
amounts paid to Vendor by the City, subsequent to which termination City may seek any and all
remedies available to City under law. VENDOR'S OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER SHALL BE
SECURED BY THE REQUISITE INSURANCE COVERAGE REQUIRED BY CITY.
9. Data Breach. Vendor further agrees that it will monitor and test its data safeguards
from time to time, and further agrees to adjust its data safeguards from time to time in light of
relevant circumstances or the results of any relevant testing or monitoring. If Vendor suspects or
becomes aware of any unauthorized access to any financial or personal identifiable information
("Personal Data") by any unauthorized person or third party, or becomes aware of any other
security breach relating to Personal Data held or stored by Vendor under the Agreement or in
connection with the performance of any services performed under the Agreement or any
Statement(s) of Work ("Data Breach"), Vendor shall immediately notify City in writing and shall
fully cooperate with City at Vendor's expense to prevent or stop such Data Breach. In the event of
such Data Breach, Vendor shall fully and immediately comply with applicable laws, and shall take
the appropriate steps to remedy such Data Breach. Vendor will defend, indemnify and hold City,
its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, harmless from and
against any and all claims, suits, causes of action, liability, loss, costs and damages, including
reasonable attorney fees, arising out of or relating to any third party claim arising from breach by
Vendor of its obligations contained in this Section, except to the extent resulting from the acts or
omissions of City. All Personal Data to which Vendor has access under the Agreement, as between
Vendor and City, will remain the property of City. City hereby consents to the use, processing
and/or disclosure of Personal Data only for the purposes described herein and to the extent such
use or processing is necessary for Vendor to carry out its duties and responsibilities under the
Agreement, any applicable Statement(s) of Work, or as required by law. Vendor will not transfer
Personal Data to third parties other than through its underlying network provider to perform its
obligations under the Agreement, unless authorized in writing by City. Vendor's obligation to
defend, hold harmless and indemnify City shall remain in full effect if the Data Breach is the result
of the actions of a third party. All Personal Data delivered to Vendor shall be stored in the United
States or other jurisdictions approved by City in writing and shall not be transferred to any other
countries or jurisdictions without the prior written consent of City.

to resolve conflicts, City objects to these terms and any such terms are hereby deleted from the
Agreement and shall have no force or effect.
11. Insurance. Vendor agrees that insurance coverage provided to City by Vendor is sufficient
for purposes of the Agreement only.
12. No Debt. In compliance with Article 11 § 5 of the Texas Constitution, it is understood
and agreed that all obligations of City hereunder are subject to the availability of funds. If such funds are
not appropriated or become unavailable, City shall have the right to terminate the Agreement except for
those portions of funds which have been appropriated prior to termination.
13. Public Information. City is a government entity under the laws of the State of Texas and
all documents held or maintained by City are subject to disclosure under the Texas Public Information
Act. To the extent the Agreement requires that City maintain records in violation of the Act, City hereby
objects to such provisions and such provisions are hereby deleted from the Agreement and shall have no
force or effect. In the event there is a request for information marked Confidential or Proprietary, City
shall promptly notify Vendor. It will be the responsibility of Vendor to submit reasons objecting to
disclosure. A determination on whether such reasons are sufficient will not be decided by City, but by

On September 28, 2021, City Council approved Mayor & Council communication (M&C) 21-0753 authorizing similar agreements for information
technology infrastructure purchases. Due to several larger projects, Infrastructure refresh, Future City Hall, planned American Rescue Plan
Act spend, and ongoing City growth, 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, 20-0650 and 21-0753.
Approval of this M&C will allow a total of $11,200,000.00 in expenditures for the initial year, $10,000,000.00 for the first renewal
and $6,200,000.00 for the remainder renewals for projects such as safety and security, new building projects, building upgrades, building
renovations and building expansion projects. 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.
On May 24, 2022 Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) 22-0366 and 22-0367 were approved to allocate American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA)
Subtitle M (Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds) to the Information Technology Solutions (ITS) Department providing up to
$3,675,000.00 and $3,595,000.00 in support of infrastructure, data protection initiatives, information security and cyber security. The Information
Technology Solutions Department (ITS) will use these agreements to purchase equipment and services to support the City's information technology
infrastructure based on initiatives identified in (M&C) 22-0366 and 22-0367.
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), OMNIA Partners (OMNIA) 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, OMNIA 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 contracts to make purchases authorized by this M&C. The Cooperative Contracts are
set to expire on various dates. If the contracts are extended, this M&C authorizes the City to purchase similar equipment and supplies under the
extended contract. If the contracts are not extended, but DIR, OMNIA and/or TIPS executes new cooperative contracts with substantially similar
terms, this M&C authorizes the City to purchase the same equipment and supplies under the new contracts. If this occurs, in no event will the City
continue to purchase goods and services under the new agreements past 2027 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 four (4) 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 OMNIA Partners may be renewed for three (3) one-year terms the 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 Projects Funds for the Technology Infrastructure -IT 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.
