Presidio Corporation is designated as a CISV vendor by the State of Texas and provided the lowest
responsive quote. Under Section 271.083 of the Texas Local Government Code, a local government
satisfies otherwise applicable bidding requirements when it makes a purchase through the Texas
Building and Procurement Commission catalogue procedure as established by Section 2157.061 of the
Texas Local Government Code. The City will comply with that procedure for the purchase agreement
under this Mayor and Council Communication.
M1WBE - A waiver of the goal for MNVBE subcontracting requirements was requested by the
Purchasing Division and approved by the MNVBE Office because the purchase of goads or services is
from sources where subcontracting or supplier opportunities are negligible.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Finance Director certifies that upon approval of recommendation No. 1 and adoption of the
attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current capital budget, as appropriated,
of the Specially Funded Capital Projects Fund -CAD.
