SUBJECT AUTHORIZE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENTS FOR GOODS AND SERVICES BETWEEN
THE CITY OF FORT WORTH, THE CITY OF GRAPEVINE AND OTHER
GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute interlocal agreements
between the City of Fort Worth, the City of Grapevine and other governmental entities who request
such interlocal agreements for the purchase of goods and services.
DISCUSSION:
The Texas Local Government Code, Chapter 271.102, authorizes political subdivisions to contract with
each other for governmental functions such as the purchase of goods and/or services. A local
government that purchases goods or services under this subchapter satisfies any state law relative to
the competitive bidding requirements.
The use of interlocal agreements allows political subdivisions to access existing contracts to take
advantage of lower prices without the cost of competitive bidding. Either of the contract participants
may terminate the agreement with written notice to the other party.
The City of Grapevine is seeking interlocal agreements with the City of Fort Worth in order to access
the fuel agreements to purchase fuel. Tarrant County and the cities of Southlake, Haltom City,
Colleyville and North Richland Hills have already requested and received contracts for interlocal
agreements to access the City of Fort Worth's fuel contracts. Purchase agreements that were bid as
interlocal goods and services contracts will be available to these and other governmental entities.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Finance Director certifies that this M&C will have no material effect on City funds.
