CO-OP Purchasing Program.
FUNDING SOURCE:
Funding for this purchase is currently available in account 325-48910-415-15-0040

BACKGROUND:
This purchase will be made in accordance with an existing Cooperative Agreement with
the State of Texas CO-OP Purchasing Program as allowed by Texas Local Government
Code, Section 271.081, 082 and 083.
Bids were taken by the cooperative and a multiple award contract was established with

Purchasing staff reviewed the contract for departmental specification compliance and
determined that the contract would provide the best product and pricing for meeting the
needs of the City.
