"BUBBA" STEEN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR January 11, 1989 Political Subdivisions RE: Cooperative Purchasing Program State of Texas Contracts Dear Political Subdivision: Sections 271-081-271.083 Local Government Code, V.T.C.A. provides the legal authority for local governments to participate in the State of Texas Purchasing Program. These Sections define local government to mean a county, municipality, special district, school district, junior college district, rural fire prevention district, volunteer fire department, community mental health and retardation center, or other legally constituted political subdivision of the state. State Purchasing and General Services Commission is the central purchasing agency for state government. Participation in the state program is processed by and through this agency. A local government may participate in the purchasing program of the Commission by filing with the Commission a resolution adopted each year by its governing body. The resolution (sample format attached) should state that the local government: I. Will designate an official to act in all matters relating to the program including the selection of specific contracts in which they desire to participate, and that the governing body will direct the decisions of the designated official; 2. Will be responsible for payment directly to the vendor under each contract; and, 3. Will be responsible for the vendor's compliance with all conditions of delivery and quality of the purchased item. Political Subdivision January 11, 1989 Page 2 It is not mandatory on local governments to participate in the state program. However, once the local government, by resolution of its governing body, agrees to participate in specific state contracts, they are committed to purchase their requirements from the states contractor through the end of our fiscal year (August 31). At that time a notice will be sent requesting that the resolution be renewed and received by us no later than January 1 to preserve your participation in the program. Additions and/or deletions of selected annual contracts may be made at the time a new resolution is submitted. Initially, we are limiting your participation to those items covered by our automated contracts. We will be happy to forward any contracts on the attached list of your review before submitting a resolution. When we receive a completed resolution from you, we will forward a copy of each contract selected, a small supply of order forms and specific ordering instructions. The Sections conclude that a local government making purchases of an item under a state contract satisfies any state law requiring competitive bids for the purchase of the item. A cooperative purchasing program between local governments and the state can be beneficial to all concerned, but particularly beneficial to the taxpayer. The benefits of volume purchasing are well recognized, and we think your government will be well served through participation in this program. To make it work, however, requirements for a particular item under state contract will have to be purchased from that contract except in bona fide emergencies. Contractors cannot be expected to give us the best prices if they cannot depend upon the advertised quantities. If you have any further questions, please let us know. Sincerely, Kerry A. Stennett Purchasing Clerk 512/463-3368 KS:ka Enclosures FIRE DEPARTMENT EMS DIVISION C I WY C)W LA FORTE• INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: Robert T. Herrera Q� DATE:10-13-89 FROM: Gary Williams eloft SUBJECT: State Contract The ability to purchase the majority of our medical supplies at significantly reduced cost was first brought to my attention by the Director of the Ft. Bend County EMS. Ft. Bend has been purchasing through the State's General Services Commission for approximately two years and has been very pleased with the service and availability. In discussions with the State, I was informed of La Porte's eligibility to participate in State contracts with the following requirements; 1) La Porte must decide which of the State's automated contracts we want to participate in. 2) An inter -local agreement, specifing the requested contract numbers, must be enacted between La Porte and the State. 3) The inter -local agreement is for one year periods only. 4) La Porte must purchase all items that meet our needs and specifications from State contract vendors. 5) Any deletion or addition of contract numbers can only be made at the time of renewing the inter -local agreement. 6) La Porte must make payments directly to the vendor. 7) La Porte bares resposibility to ensure receipt of items as ordered. Although the City has certain obligations in participating, we are not obligated to; 1) Participate beyond the initial period. 2) Purchase any items that do not meet our needs or requirements. 3) Order any certain amounts, other than the per order minimum, over the course of the year. 4) Make emergency purchases through the contract. c:. '. &) r/W / State Contract cont. 0 The initiation of this agreement will allow this Division to im- mediately recognize a considerable cost savings on our daily use supplies. This agreement will also allow this Division to stock larger quanities of items that could be needed in a crisis than we now are capable of. It is my belief that participation in the State contract will not produce any hardships but rather can result only in benefits. In the following pages I have provided a representative sample of the supplies we use along with the current as well as the State pricing. Your consideration in this matter will be greatly appreciated.

Wenzel R""DZpartment:Community Dev. Exhibits: Report Resolution X Ordinance 1) Ordinance No. 1466-B SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION Because of the continuing concern on Myrtle Creek, the City recently surveyed the pipeline crossing to get an "as built" condition of the "hump". After thorough examination of the data I feel that a reduced speed zone is warranted for this section of Myrtle Creek Drive. The reduced speed zone is recommended because of the geometry of the "hump" over the Humble Pipeline easement. Because of the neighborhood setting and conditions more restrictive criteria could be justified. After applying more restrictive criteria, namely 3.5 ft. eye height and .5 ft. object height, a posted speed of 20 MPH is required to insure safe stopping sight distance over the hump.

COMMISSIONERS State Purchasing and General Services Commission KENNETH R. EPLEY 1711 San Jacinto BOB DAVIS P.O. Box 13047 Capitol Station Austin, Texas 78711-3047 LIAS B. "BUBBA" STEEN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR January 11, 1989 Political Subdivisions RE: Cooperative Purchasing Program State of Texas Contracts Dear Political Subdivision: Sections 271.081-271.083 Local Government Code, V.T.C.A. provides the legal authority for local governments to participate in the State of Texas Purchasing Program. These Sections define local government to mean a county, municipality, special district, school district, junior college district, rural fire prevention district, volunteer fire department, community mental health and retardation center, or other legally constituted political subdivision of the state. State Purchasing and General Services Commission is the central purchasing agency for state government. Participation in the state program is processed by and through this agency. A local government may participate in the purchasing program of the Commission by filing with the Commission a resolution adopted each year by its governing body. The resolution (sample format attached) should state that the local government: 1. Will designate an official to act in all matters relating to the program including the selection of specific contracts in which they desire to participate, and that the governing body will direct the decisions of the designated official; 2. Will be responsible for payment directly to the vendor under each contract; and, 3. Will be responsible for the vendor's compliance with all conditions of delivery and quality of the purchased item. • Political Subdivision January 11, 1989 Page 2 It is not mandatory on local governments to participate in the state program. However, once the local government, by resolution of its governing body, agrees to participate in specific state contracts, they are committed to purchase their requirements from the state's contractor through the end of our fiscal year (August 31). At that time a notice will be sent requesting that the resolution be renewed and received by us no later than January 1 to preserve your participation in the program. Additions and/or deletions of selected annual contracts may be made at the time a new resolution is submitted. Initially, we are limiting your participation to those items covered by our automated contracts. We will be happy to forward any contracts on the attached list of your review before submitting a resolution. When we receive a completed resolution from you, we will forward a copy of each contract selected, a small supply of order forms and specific ordering instructions. The Sections conclude that a local government making purchases of an item under a state contract satisfies any state law requiring competitive bids for the purchase of the item. A cooperative purchasing program between local governments and the state can be beneficial to all concerned, but particularly beneficial to the taxpayer. The benefits of volume purchasing are well recognized, and we think your government will be well served through participation in this program. To make it work, however, requirements for a particular item under state contract will have to be purchased from that contract except in bona fide emergencies. Contractors cannot be expected to give us the best prices if they cannot depend upon the advertised quantities. If you have any further questions, please let us know. Sincerely, Kerry A. Stennett Purchasing Clerk 512/463-3368 KS:ka Enclosures FIRE DEPARTMENT EMS DIVISION C I T Y a V L. A F OR T E INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: Robert T. Herrera G1..JC DATE:10-13-89 c'ti'`� FROM: Gary Williams Plow o C .k'h, SUBJECT: State Contract The ability to purchase the majority of our medical supplies at significantly reduced cost was first brought to my attention by the Director of the Ft. Bend County EMS. Ft. Bend has been purchasing through the State's General Services Commission for approximately two years and has been very pleased with the service and availability. In discussions with the State, I was informed of La Porte's eligibility to participate in State contracts with the following requirements; 1) La Porte must decide which of the State's automated contracts we want to participate in. 2) An inter -local agreement, specifing the requested contract numbers, must be enacted between La Porte and the State. 3) The inter -local agreement is for one year periods only. 4) La Porte must purchase all items that meet our needs and specifications from State contract vendors. 5) Any deletion or addition of contract numbers can only be made at the time of renewing the inter -local agreement. 6) La Porte must make payments directly to the vendor. 7) La Porte bares resposibility to ensure receipt of items as ordered. Although the City has certain obligations in participating, we are not obligated to; 1) Participate beyond the initial period. 2) Purchase any items that do not meet our needs or requirements. 3) Order any certain amounts, other than the per order minimum, over the course of the year. 4) Make emergency purchases through the contract. 0 • CURRENT STATE ITEM PRICE PRICE --------------------------------------------------------------------- NON-STERILE GLOVES 10.00 7.00 RINGER'S I.V.

Provided a complete schedule of preventative maintenance whereas Delta Computec did not. 3• Provided three Houston area Data General MV8000 customer references whereas Delta Computec did not. 4.

Also, the second meeting in December is scheduled for December 25, which is Christmas Day.
