CITY COUNCIL AGENDA FORTI ORTII
COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 1/15/2008
DATE: 1/15/2008 REFERENCE NO.: **P-10710 LOG NAME: 13P07-0130
CODE: P TYPE: CONSENT PUBLIC HEARING: NO
SUBJECT: Authorize Cooperative Purchasing Agreements for Goods and Services Between the City
of Fort Worth, Local Governments and Local Cooperative Organizations Authorized by the
Texas Local Government Code
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute Cooperative
Purchasing Agreements for goods and services between the City of Fort Worth, local governments
and local cooperative purchasing organizations authorized by the Texas Local Government Code.
DISCUSSION:
The Purchasing Division will use this authorization to contract with local governments and local
cooperative organizations to obtain goods or services. The use of these contracts allows the City of
Fort Worth to take advantage of lower prices without the cost of competitive bidding by obtaining
access to existing competitively procured contracts with entities such as Tarrant County, Houston-
Galveston Area Council, Texas Association of School Boards' Local Government Purchasing
Cooperative and U.S. Communities.
This authorization will allow other local governments such as Tarrant County, the City of Arlington
and the City of Grand Prairie to participate in contracts awarded by the City of Fort Worth that 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. Either of the contract participants may terminate the agreement with written
notice to the other party.
Section 271.102(a) of the Texas Local Government Code allows local governments to participate in
cooperative purchasing programs. Section 271.102(c) of the Code provides that a local government
purchasing goods or services under a cooperative purchasing program satisfies any state law
requiring that the local government seek competitive bids for purchase of the goods or services. The
contracts for goods and services have been competitively bid to increase and simplify the purchasing
power of local governments across the State of Texas.
The Law Department recommends that the Purchasing Division review these agreements
periodically. The last M&C regarding execution of agreements with these cooperatives was approved
on March 27, 2001 (M&C C-18510). Going forward these agreements will be reviewed every five
years.
