approved on the FY 2018 Vehicle Replacement list and have met the replacement criteria.
This purchase will be made in accordance with an existing interlocal agreement with
Houston-Galveston Area Council (H-GAC) as allowed by Texas Local Government Code,
Chapter 271 and Texas Government Code, Chapter 791 .
Bids were taken by the Cooperative and a contract was awarded to Green Equipment
Company. The Fleet Service division and Purchasing staff reviewed the contract for
departmental specification compliance and pricing and determined that the contract would
provide the best product and pricing for meeting the needs of the City.
Staff recommends approval.
