HEARING:
SUBJECT: (ALL) Authorize the Execution of Non-Exclusive Purchase Agreements with Cellco
Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless and AT&T Corporation for Voice and Data Wireless
Services and Hardware Using the State of Texas Department of Information Resources
Cooperative Contracts in an Annual Amount of $4,500,000.00
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize non-exclusive purchase agreements with Cellco
Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless and AT&T Corporation for broadband access services and
hardware using State of Texas Department of Information Resources Cooperative Contracts in an
annual amount of $4,500,000.00 with a 5\% annual increase.
DISCUSSION:
The City currently utilizes over 9,000 lines which include cell phones, mobile wi-fi (MiFi), data cards,
and other wireless types for communication connectivity. These services provide staff with mobility,
improving efficiencies, productivity, public safety and customer service. The current addition of
Emergency Medical System Services to the Fort Worth Fire Department has increased the number of
devices and annual spend with AT&T by approximately $175,000.00 this year. The amount will
increase over the next couple years by $35,000.00 annually when we add cellular service to iPads
used in EMS vehicles. Spend authority authorized by this Mayor and Council Communication, (M&C),
will allow for a 5\% annual increase as mobility services have become higher in demand and the City
has seen an increase in wireless use.
M&C 20-0655 was approved on September 15, 2020, and authorized a shared annual authority of
$4,020,000.00 with 5\% growth from current spending; and ratified expenditures of $1,761,779.26
incurred by the Information Technology Department, (IT Solutions), on behalf of City departments,
replacing M&C P-11929 and P-11960.
M&C P-11929 was approved on September 13, 2016, and authorized an annual authority of
$600,000.00 with Verizon Wireless Services, LLC (Verizon Wireless) through Department of
Information Resources (DIR)-TSO-3415, for wireless broadband access and hardware.
M&C P-11960 was approved on October 25, 2016, and authorized an annual authority of
$1,500,000.00 with AT&T Mobility National Account LLC for voice and wireless services and hardware
through DIR-TSO-3420.
Previous M&C's include P-11642 approved on April 22, 2014; M&C P-11449 approved on October 23,
2012; M&C P-11370 approved on April 3, 2012 forAT&T Mobility National Accounts, LLC. M&C P-

COOPERATIVE PURCHASE - State law provides that a local government purchasing an item under a
cooperative purchase agreement satisfies State laws requiring that the local government seek
competitive bids for purchase of the item. Cooperative contracts have been competitively bid to
increase and simplify the purchasing power of local government entities across the State of Texas.
SUCCESSOR CONTRACTS - The City will initially use DIR contracts to make purchases authorized
by this M&C. In the event the DIR cooperative contract is not renewed, staff would cease purchasing
at the end of the last purchase agreement coinciding with a valid cooperative contract. If the City
Council were to not appropriate funds for future years, staff would stop making purchases when the
last appropriation expires, regardless of whether the then-current purchase agreement has expired.
If the DIR cooperative is extended, this M&C authorizes the City to purchase similar equipment and
services under the extended contract. In the event the DIR cooperative agreement is not extended, but
DIR executes a new cooperative agreement(s) with substantially similar terms, this M&C authorizes
the City to purchase the equipment and services under the new DIR contract(s).
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.
AGREEMENT TERM - Upon City Council's approval, these agreements will commence upon
execution and continue in accordance with the terms and conditions of the respective cooperative
contracts or applicable successive contracts for the same services.
RENEWAL OPTIONS - These agreements may be renewed per the conditions established in the
contract between the DIR and the individual vendor. This action does not require specific City Council
approval provided that the City Council has appropriated sufficient funds to satisfy the City's obligation
during the renewal term.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that funds are available in the current operating budget, as
previously appropriated, in the participating departments' Operating Funds to support the approval of
the above recommendations and execution of the agreements. Prior to any expenditure being
incurred, the participating departments have the responsibility to validate the availability of funds.
