provided that such modification does not materially adversely affect
Buyer's authorized use of the Deliverables; or (c) replace the Deliverables

Deliverables at no additional charge to Buyer; or (d) if none of the foregoing
alternatives is reasonably available to SELLER, terminate this Agreement and

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.
• PUBLIC HEALTH & SAFETY - 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 vests for police officers.
• UNFORESEEN DAMAGES - 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.
• PERSONAL, PROFESSIONAL, OR PLANNING SERVICES
Personal services 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 252, so there is no precise definition
to follow. While there is no universal definition of this term, "several cases suggest that
[these types of services are] `predominately mental or intellectual, rather than physical or
manual."' Tex. Atty Gen Op. JM-940 (1988) (quoting Maryland Casualty Co. v. Cray
Water Co., 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, physicians, 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 skill required by the person
while performing the service. Purchases of goods are not professional services.
• SOLE SOURCE — A procurement for items available only from one source
This exemption is commonly referred to as the sole source exemption. The fact that the
vendor in question has the best price or can meet our timing needs does not make a purchase
of a good or service available from only one source. 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 documentation showing that
Page 5 of 6
25
no other provider can provide the service or category of good except for the vendor you
are proposing. Some examples of sole source purchases include (i) service agreements
when only one vendor is authorized to work on the equipment by the manufacturer and
allowing another vendor would void the warranty and (ii) purchase of a good that is
copyrighted or trademarked and only provided by one vendor.
