documentation. So long as Vendor bears the cost and expense of payment for claims or actions against
City pursuant to this section, Vendor will 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 will have the right to fully participate in any and all such settlement, negotiations,

use of the software and/or documentation; or (c) replace the software and documentation with
equally suitable, compatible, and functionally equivalent non -infringing software and
documentation at no additional charge to City; or (d) if none of the foregoing alternatives is
reasonably available to Vendor terminate this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this

Repairs and/or Replacement for Multiple City Departments in an Annual Amount Up to $423,800.00 and Authorize Four One -Year Renewals for the
Same Annual Amount
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that City Council authorize execution of a purchase agreement with Odessa Pumps and Equipment, Inc. for pumps, pump
motors, and pump control panel repairs and/or replacement for multiple City departments in an annual amount up to $423,800.00 and authorize
four, one-year renewals for the same annual amount.
DISCUSSION:
The Property Management, Park and Recreation, and Public Events Departments approached the Purchasing Division for assistance with
securing an agreement for pump repairs on an as -needed basis. The proposed agreement is both for the repair and/or replacement of pumps,
pump motors, and pump control panels. Purchasing issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) that consisted of detailed specifications regarding the list of
pumps, including pump size, that may need repair and/or replacement.
The ITB was advertised in the Fort Worth Star -Telegram on March 29, 2023 and April 5, 2023. The City received four responses.
An evaluation panel consisting of representatives from the Property Management, Park and Recreation, and Public Events Departments reviewed
and scored the submittal using Best Value criteria. The individual scores were averaged for each of the criteria and the final scores are listed in the
table below

After evaluation, the panel concluded that Odessa Pumps and Equipment, Inc. presents the best value. Therefore, the panel recommends that
Council authorize agreements with Odessa Pumps and Equipment, Inc. No guarantee was made that a specific amount of services would be
purchased. Staff certifies that the recommended vendor's bid met specifications.
Approval of this Mayor & Council Communication authorizes the City to spend up to $423,800.00 per year with vendor for pump repair services.
Actual usage in any term can be up to the authorized amount and will be dependent upon actual appropriations for this purpose in the
departments' budgets.
FUNDING: The maximum amount allowed under this agreement for the initial term will be $423,800.00, however, the actual amount used will be
based on the need of the department and available budget. Funding is budgeted in the General Fund, the Culture and Tourism and Municipal Golf
Funds as appropriated.
DVIN-BE: A waiver of the goal for Business Equity subcontracting requirement is approved by the DVIN-BE, in accordance with the Business
Equity Ordinance, because the purchase of goods or services is from sources where subcontracting or supplier opportunities are negligible.
AGREEMENT TERMS: Upon City Council approval, this agreement shall begin upon execution and expire one year from that date.
RENEWAL TERMS: This agreement may be renewed for four additional, one-year terms. 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.
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.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the recommendation, funds are available in the current operating budget, as previously
appropriated, in the General Fund and in the Culture and Tourism and Municipal Golf Funds. Prior to an expenditure being incurred, the Property
Management, Park and Recreation, and Public Events departments have the responsibility to validate the availability of funds.
