Electric Company, Inc., and GTS Technology Solutions, Inc. for New and Replacement
Audio/Visual Hardware, Software, Technology, and Maintenance and Support Services for
a Collective Annual Amount Up to $1,500,000.00, with Four One -Year Renewal Options for
the Information Technology Solutions Department
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize non-exclusive cooperative purchase agreements
with Designs That Compute, Inc. d/b/a Visionality, Digital Resources, Inc., ePlus Technology, Inc.,
Graybar Electric Company, Inc., and GTS Technology Solutions, Inc. for new and replacement
hardware, software, technology, and maintenance and support services for the installation of
audio/visual equipment in City facilities for a collective annual amount up to $1,500,000.00, with four
(4) one-year renewal options for the Information Technology Solutions Department.
DISCUSSION:
On June 22, 2021, City Council approved Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) 21-0459,
authorizing non-exclusive purchase agreements with four vendors to provide audio/visual (AV)
equipment and services. Authorization under those purchase agreements expires November 30,
2023.
Therefore, the Information Technology Solutions Department ("ITS") is requesting authorization for
additional non-exclusive cooperative purchase agreements with the vendors listed below. ITS will use
these non-exclusive purchase agreements using cooperative contracts to purchase new and
replacement hardware, technology, and maintenance and support services from five vendors:
Designs That Compute, Inc. d/b/a Visionality (Visionality), Digital Resources, Inc. (DRI), ePlus
Technology, Inc. (ePlus), Graybar Electric Company, Inc. (Graybar), and GTS Technology Solutions,
Inc. (GTS). These agreements will be used for AV equipment including projectors, screens, displays,
digital signage equipment, sound and amplification equipment, and audio/visual controller equipment
for installation in all City -owned or leased facilities.
Installations under these agreements are needed for locations throughout the City such as office
spaces, conference rooms, auditoriums, court rooms, or other unique spaces. These installations
typically require the vendor to perform a walk-through facility review and advise on the needed
equipment, configuration, and installation services. ITS will monitor vendor utilization so that each will
have the opportunity to earn 10\% of the total business. No specific contract amount is guaranteed.
These agreements and spending authority will be made available for any City AV need. The
cooperative contracts to be used are listed below.

purchases authorized by this M&C. In the event a DIR, TIPS, or Omnia 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 a future year, staff

current purchase agreement has expired.
In the event a DIR, TIPS, or Omnia cooperative agreement is not extended, but DIR, TIPS, or Omnia
executes new cooperative agreement(s) with substantially similar terms, this M&C authorizes the City
to purchase the equipment and services under the new DIR, TIPS, or Omnia contract(s). If this
occurs, in no event with the City continue to purchase goods and services under the new
agreement(s) for more than three (3) years without seeking Council approval.
Funding is budgeted in the FY21 AV/DS, FY22 AV/DS, FY23 LIB AV Upgrades, and FY23 ITS Audio
Visual projects, within the ITS Capital Fund. Funding will be budgeted in General Fund and the ITS
Capital Fund for Fiscal Year 2024.
BUSINESS EQUITY: A goal is not assigned when purchasing from an approved purchasing
cooperative or public entity.
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, the initial term of the agreements will become
effective once executed by the Assistant City Manager and will expire May 31, 2024, with options to
renew.
RENEWAL OPTIONS: The agreements may be renewed for up to four (4) one-year renewal terms, in
accordance with the underlying cooperative agreement, at the City's option. 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 period.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that funds are available in the current capital budget, as previously
appropriated, in the ITS Capital Fund for the FY21 AV/DS, FY22 AV/DS, FY23 LIB AV Upgrades, and
FY23 ITS Audio Visual projects, and upon adoption of the Fiscal Year 2024 Budget by the City
Council, funds will be available in the Fiscal Year 2024 operating budget, as appropriated, in the
