SUBJECT AUTHORIZE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH THE MANSFIELD INDEPENDENT
SCHOOL DISTRICT AND THE CITY OF FORT WORTH FOR THE PURCHASE OF
GO�DS AND SERVICES
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Mana.ger to execute an Interlocal Agreement
between the Mansfield Independent School District and the City of Fort Worth for the purchase of goods
and services.
DISCUSSION:
The Texas Local Government Code, Chapfier 271.102, authorizes palitical subdivisions to contract with
each other for governmental functions such as the purchase of goods and/or services. A local
government that purchases goods or services under this subchapter satisfies any state law relative to
the competitive bidding statutes.
The use of interlocal agreements allows political subdivisions to access existing contracts to take
advantage of lower prices without the cost of competitive bidding. Either of the contract participants
may terminate the agreement with written notice to the other party.
The Mansfield Independent School District is seeking an interlocal agreement with the City of Fort
Worth in order to access the City's office furniture_ agreement with Corporate Express.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Finance Director certifies that this action will have no material effect on City funds.
