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 -
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 v-ests 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, wom out roofs or windows would not meet this exception,
A procurement for personal, professional- or planning services-,
Personal sei-vices 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 2521, 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-94D (1989) {quoting Maryland Casualty Co. v. Cray Water Cc-, 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,
physiciaris, 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 shill required by the person
while performing the senice. 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 detenrining
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
Sole Source Agreement Page 18 of 20
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 Y-endor is
authorized to work on the equipment by the manufacturer and allowing another vendor
would void the warranty; purchase of a goad that is copyrighted or trademarked and only
provided by one vendor.
