DISCUSSION:
The Public Events Department will use this procurement to replace two chillers at the Moncrief Building
and four rooftop cooling and heating units at the Brown-Lupton Building at the Will Rogers Memorial
Center. By today's standards, the units are not very energy efficient and are past their useful life.
COOPERATIVE PURCHASE - State law provides that a local government purchasing an item under a
Cooperative Purchasing Agreement satisfies state laws requiring that the local government seek
competitive bids for purchase of the item. TXMAS contracts have been competitively bid to increase and
simplify the purchasing power of government entities.
PRICE ANALYSIS -The new units should provide an estimated annual energy savings of over$21,400.00
based on current City electrical rates. Public Events Department staff reviewed the proposed pricing and
certified that the prices offered are fair and reasonable.

Executive Summary
CURRENT SITUATION:
The cooling needs are served by Two(2)Carrier 30GT Air-Cooled Reciprocating chillers,which by
today's standards is very energy inefficient and are past there useful life.Reciprocating chiller technology
has been replaced by Scroll and Helical Rotor compressor technology.The damaged condenser coils
reduce the efficiency of the chiller and increases the work on the compressors to produce the proper
chilled water temperature. The Chiller is at the end of its useful life and COFW has been experiencing
costly multiple chiller major compressor failures.The COFW would benefit from a new variable speed
drive helical rotor chiller that will help the COFW reduce repair and energy costs.
We have performed a preliminary energy savings calculation for the COFW-WRMC. We estimate based
off of current COFW electrical rates and chiller run hours an Annual Energy Savings of over: $21,400.
PROPOSED SOLUTION:
Johnson Controls will be proposing a design build retrofit solution that focuses on chiller redundancy,
energy efficiency,and compliant controlled environment for water testing.

Texas Multiple Award Schedule Contracts
PCC X
Introduction
The Texas Multiple Award Schedule-(TXMAS)Program adapts existing competitively awarded
government contracts to the procurement needs of the state of Texas. Unlike some other
purchasing methods,purchases made from TXMAS contracts do not require delegated authority
from TPASS to make purchases over$25,000 for commodities and$100,000 for services. To be
considered for the TXMAS Program, an existing contract must be:
• Awarded by the federal government or any other governmental entity in any state. . . . .
• Awarded using a competitive process.
• Adaptable to the laws of the state of Texas
Each TXMAS contractor is required to provide a TXMAS product catalog. Catalogs must
contain the following information:
• Item specifications.
• Ordering procedures.
1 e Invoicing procedures.
• Contact information for making purchases and for customer service.
Terms and Conditions: If any information is needed in reference to the Terms and Conditions,
please contact the contract holder or the TXMAS Coordinator at (512)4631-3421.
r
TXIVIAS contractor catalogs are available on the TXMAS Contracts By Schedule.
General Services Administration Federal Supply Service Contracts
The vast majority of TXMAS contracts are adapted from General Services Administration
Federal Supply Service (GSA) contracts. For this reason, it is common for a contractor's
TXMAS catalog to be nearly identical to its GSA catalog. For contracts adapted from GSA
contracts, the TXMAS prices must be identical to those on the GSA Schedule. These are the
"Most Favored Customer" (MFC)prices and are the maximum prices allowed. To learn about
negotiating lower prices for TXMAS contract items,please see the section entitled"Negotiating
Price with TXMAS Vendors" below.
Purchasing from TXMAS Contracts
Prior to purchasing the product or service from a TXMAS contract, follow applicable statutes, as
required, for purchasing from the CCG, TIBH, TCI,the TxSmartBuy term or Managed term j
contracts.
To purchase outside an established TPASS term contract, conduct a search of all TPASS term
and TXMAS contracts for the product or service required. It is recommended that a comparison
be conducted between the contracts for best value and be based upon the exact product's
functional specifications or service requirements.
Purchase Orders against TXMAS Contracts must be entered through the TxSmartBuy on-
line ordering system.
P Best Value Comparison Documentation:
Price cannot be a factor to not purchase TIBH products. If the product desired is
available through TIBH,the purchase order must be issued through the TxSmartBuy
k ordering system. Products available from TCI should be purchased when meeting the
functional specifications of the required product. Purchases for services or products available
through CCG contracts must be processed through those contracts.
1_. For products or services other than these available through CCG, TIBH or TCI,
record the following information in the procurement file:
a. Description of the product or service
b. TPASS term contract number(s) and the TXMAS contract number(s) searched.
NOTE: If searching a new TXMAS contractor that does not have a listing or link
to their catalog.on the TXMAS Contracts Web Page, request a catalog from that,
contractor with a copy of their TX_MA S award notice.
C. Prcduct manufacturer/brand and model/product number
d. Pricing printed from the TPASS Term Contracts including any additional charges
as applicable (freight, inside delivery).
e. Include pricing from TXMAS contractors that provide the product or service from the 1
on-line catalogs or quotations. If the quoted price is less than the price listed in the 1
contractor's TXMAS on-line catalog,make note that the lower pricing was confirmed
and list the representative's name. If the quoted price is higher than the price listed on
the contractor's TXMAS on-line catalog,request that the contractor provide a new
quote with the published price.
Issuing rile Best Value Purchase Order
• Document the basis for the best value determination in the procurement file.
1
• If the TPASS term contract(s)provide the best value,the purchase order must be
processed through the TxSmartBuy ordering system, or if available from a Managed
Term Contract, issue an internal purchase order directly to the contractor.
i
• If the TXMAS contract provides the best value;issue a purchase order to the contractor
through the TxSmartBuy ordering system or, if to a contractor's dealer,_issue an internal
purchase order directly to the dealer. The dealer must be listed on the TXMAS
contractor's contract page. A TXMAS contractor is not required to accept orders below
the minimum order limit shown on its contract page. Orders between the minimum and
maximum order limits listed on the contract page are subject to TXMAS catalog pricing.
For orders above the maximum limit,you are entitled to negotiate lower prices than those
listed in the TXMAS catalog.

Rebates: Pursuant to Texas Government Code § 2155.510(b),rebates generated from TXMAS contract
purchases made using federal funds must be reported to the federal funding agency for reporting and
reconciliation purchases. Each quarter of the State's fiscal year, TXMAS contractors rebate .75% of their
TXMAS sales to the State of Texas via the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (CPA). It is the
r purchasing entity's responsibility to report the amount of rebate using the above percent based on the
total dollar value of the TXMAS purchase order.

TXNIAS contract. The purchasing entity must report to the federal fund-provider that a sales rebate of
$375 ($50,000 * .75% _ $375)will be paid to the State of Texas by the TXMAS contractor.

SECTION L
CHANGES IN THE WORK
L-1 CHANGE ORDER: The Owner, without invalidating the Contract, may order Changes in the Work within the general
scope of the Contract consisting of additions, deletions or other revisions,the Contract Sum and the Contract Time being adjusted
General Conditions for Facility Construction Lump Sum Contract Page 22 of 27
March 2015
accordingly. All Such Changes in the Work shall be authorized by Change Order, and shall be executed under the applicable
conditions of the Contract Documents.
A Change Order is a written order to the Contractor signed by the Contractor,Owner and the Architect, issued after the execution of
the Contract, authorizing a Change in the Work or adjustment in the Contract Sum or the Contract Time. The Contract Sum and the
Contract Time may be changed only by Change Order.
Any changes in work required due to changed or unforeseen conditions, or by request of either the Contractor or the City, shall be *-
coordinated with the Director, Department of Property Management. A change order must be written and duly negotiated and
executed prior to performing changed work.
The cost or credit to the Owner resulting from a Change in the work shall be determined in one or more of the following ways:
1) by mutual acceptance of a lump sum property itemized, including the allowance to Contractor for overhead and profit stipulated
in the original contract proposal;
2) by unit prices stated in the Contract Documents or subsequently agreed upon;or
3) by cost and a mutually acceptable fixed or percentage fee.
If none of the methods set forth herein above is agreed upon,the Contractor, provided he receives a Change Order, shall promptly
proceed with the Work involved. The cost of such work shall then be determined on the basis of the Contractor's reasonable
expenditures and savings, including a reasonable allowance for overhead and profit as indicted in the original contract proposal. In
such cases, the Contractor shall keep and present, in such form as the Architect shall prescribe, an itemized accounting together
with appropriate supporting data. Pending final determination of cost to the Owner, payments on account shall be made on the
Architect's Certificate of Payment as approved by the Owner, w
If after the Contract has been executed,the Architect, requests a price proposal from the Contractor for a proposed change in scope
of the work,Contractor shall process such proposal within seven days of receipt and return the price quote to the Architect in writing.
The Architect shall review the price quotation and if approval is recommended, forward the proposed change order request and
price proposal to the Owner for approval. If approval is not recommended,the Architect will attempt to negotiate with Contractor to
revise the proposal to a figure which is fair and reasonable and forward it on to the Owner for approval. If the negotiations do not
result in an equitable solution, the Architect shall prepare a cost-plus type Change Order with a price-not-to-exceed figure for
approval by the City and require specific documentation to be provided by Contractor in accordance with the paragraph above. _
Contractor is advised that according to City of Fort Worth Charter,that,the City Council must approve all Change Orders and Work
Orders which results in an increase in cost of the contract amount by over$25,000. Normal processing time for the City Staff to
obtain City Council approval, once the recommended change order has been received at the City, is approximately thirty days.
Owner and Contractor shall endeavor to identify Change Order items as early in the Construction process as possible to minimize
their impact on the construction schedule.
If unit prices are stated in the Contract Documents or subsequently agreed upon,and if the quantities originally contemplated are so
changed in a proposed Change Order that application of the agreed unit prices to the quantities of Work proposed will create a —
hardship on the Owner or the Contractor,the applicable unit prices shall be equitably adjusted to prevent such hardship.
If the Contractor claims that additional cost or time is involved because of(1)any written interpretation issued pursuant to Section A,
(2) any order by the Architect or Owner to stop the Work pursuant to Section B, where the Contract was not at fault, or(3) any
written order for a minor change in the Work,the Contractor shall make such claim.
L-2 CLAIMS FOR ADDITIONAL COST OR TIME: If the Contractor wishes to make a claim for an increase in the Contract
Sum or an extension in the Contract Time, he shall give the Architect written notice thereof within a reasonable time after the
occurrence of the event that gave rise to such claim.This notice shall be given by the Contractor before proceeding to execute the
Work,except in an emergency endangering life or property in which case the Contractor shall proceed in accordance with Section J.
No such claim shall be valid unless so made. Any change in the Contract Sum or Contract Time resulting from such claim, if
approved by the Owner,shall be authorized by Change Order.
L-3 OVERHEAD ALLOWANCES FOR CHANGES: Should any change in the work or extra work be ordered, the following
applicable percentage shall be added to Material and Labor costs to cover overhead and profit:
1. Allowance to the Contractor for overhead and profit for extra work performed by the Contractor's own forces shall not exceed
fifteen percent 15%.
2. Allowance to the Contractor for overhead and profit for extra work performed by a Subcontractor and supervised by the
Contractor shall not exceed ten percent1( 0%).
L4 MINOR CHANGES IN THE WORK: The Architect shall have authority to order minor changes in the Work not involving
an adjustment in the Contract Sum or an extension of the Contract Time and not inconsistent with the intent of the Contract
Documents. Such changes may be effected by Field Order or by other written order. Such changes shall be confirmed in writing by
the Architect and shall be binding on the Owner and the Contractor. —
General Conditions for Facility Construction Lump Sum Contract Page 23 of 27

L-5 FIELD ORDERS: The Architect may issue written Field Orders which interpret the Contract Documents, or which order
minor changes in the Work without change in Contract Sum or Contract Time. The Contractor shall carry out such Field Orders
promptly.

or the Owner may request to see such work and it shall be uncovered by the Contractor. If such Work be found in accordance with
the Plans and Specifications,the cost of uncovering and replacement shall,by appropriate Change Order,be charged to the Owner.

do so, unless the Owner has previously given the Contractor a written acceptance of such condition, describing same specifically
and not generally.The Owner shall give such notice promptly after discovery of the condition.

work shall be corrected to comply with the Contract Documents without cost to the Owner.

Owner,the Owner may remove it and may store the materials or equipment at the expense of the Contractor. If the Contractor does
not pay the cost of such removal and storage within ten days thereafter,the Owner may upon ten additional days'written notice sell
such work at auction or at private sale and shall account for the net proceeds thereof, after deducting all the costs that should have
been borne by the Contractor including compensation for additional architectural services. If such proceeds of sale do not cover all
costs that the Contractor should have borne, the difference shall be charged to the Contractor and an appropriate Change Order
shall be issued. If the payments then or thereafter due the Contractor are not sufficient to cover such amount, the Contractor shall
pay the difference to the Owner.
If the Contractor fails to correct such defective or non-conforming work,the Owner may correct it in accordance with Section G.
The obligation of the Contractor under this Section shall be in addition to and not in limitation of any obligations imposed upon him
by special guarantees required by the Contract Documents or otherwise prescribed by law.
M-3 ACCEPTANCE OF DEFECTIVE OR NON-CONFORMING WORK: if the Owner prefers to accept defective or non-
conforming work, he may do so instead of requiring its removal and correction, in which case a Change Order will be issued to
reflect an appropriate reduction in the Contract Sum, or, if the amount is determined after final payment, it shall be paid by the
Contractor.
