Authorize non-exclusive purchase agreements for the Heating and Cooling Assistance Program with AirRite Air Conditioning Co., Inc., and Glenn's Air Conditioning and Heating for the Parks and Community Services Department (PACSD) based on best value, with payment due 30 days from receipt of invoices; 2. Authorize this agreement to begin July 10, 2007, and expire July 9, 2008, with options to renew for three additional one-year periods; and 3. Authorize the City Manager to execute Inter-local agreements allowing other public entities to participate in this award in accordance with Local Government Code, 271.102, "Cooperative Purchasing Program." DISCUSSION: PACSD will use these agreements to provide residential heating and cooling assistance for elderly, disabled, and low-income citizens in the Tarrant County service area. PACSD assists these households to achieve energy self-sufficiency by addressing inefficient heating and cooling appliances in the residence. This assistance is part of the heating and cooling component of the State of Texas Comprehensive Energy Assistance Program. The Invitation to Bid consisted of detailed specifications describing required services and equipment to be furnished. No guarantee was made that a specific amount of goods or services would be purchased. Last year, PACSD spent approximately $668,444 on this grant funded program. The volume of citizens this program serves necessitates utilization of both vendors equally; therefore, a non-exclusive award is recommended. Each vendor will receive assignments in lots of ten. Once a vendor completes its lot assignment another lot of ten will be issued. httn:Hanns.cfwnet.ora/council nacket/mc review.asn?ID=7669&councildate=7/10/2007 2/21/2011 M&C Review Page 2 of 2 Staff certifies that both recommended vendors are licensed by the State of Texas and are qualified to perform all services specified. INTERLOCAL AGREEMENTS -Allowing other public entities to participate in this award may result in the addition of other entities' quantities at the next bidding opportunity. Increasing the volume of goods and services bid increases the possibility of lower prices to the City through greater economies of scale. BID ADVERTISEMENT-This bid was advertised in the Commercial Recorder on April 4, and April 11, 2007. Purchasing solicited 73 vendors from the purchasing vendor database and 133 vendors from DemandStar.com plan holders. Two vendors submitted bid responses. BID TABULATION - See attached bid tabulation M/WBE -A waiver of the goal for M/WBE subcontracting requirements was requested by the Purchasing Division and approved by the M/ BE Office because the purchase of goods or services is from sources where subcontracting or supplier opportunities are negligible. RENEWAL OPTIONS - This agreement may be renewed for up to three additional one-year terms 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 term. FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION: The Finance Director certifies that funds are available, as appropriated, in the Parks and Community Services Department Comprehensive Energy Assessment Program Grant Fund.

This assistance is part of the heating and cooling component of the State of Texas Comprehensive Energy Assistance Program. The Invitation to Bid consisted of detailed specifications describing required services and equipment to be furnished. No guarantee was made that a specific amount of goods or services would be purchased. Last year, PACSD spent approximately $668,444 on this grant funded program. The volume of citizens this program serves necessitates utilization of both vendors equally; therefore, a non-exclusive award is recommended. Each vendor will receive assignments in lots of ten. Once a vendor completes its lot assignment another lot of ten will be issued. Staff certifies that both recommended vendors are licensed by the State of Texas and are qualified to perform all services specified. INTERLOCAL AGREEMENTS - Allowing other public entities to participate in this award may result in the addition of other entities' quantities at the next bidding opportunity. Increasing the volume of goods and services bid increases the possibility of lower prices to the City through greater economies of scale. http://apps.cfwnet.org/ecouncil/printmc.asp?id=7669&print=true&DocType=Print 3/2/2011 Page 2 of 2 BID ADVERTISEMENT - This bid was advertised in the Commercial Recorder on April 4, and April 11, 2007.

BID TABULATION - See attached bid tabulation M/WBE - A waiver of the goal for M/WBE subcontracting requirements was requested by the Purchasing Division and approved by the M/WBE Office because the purchase of goods or services is from sources where subcontracting or supplier opportunities are negligible.
