facility to be located at Parr Park from CXT Incorporated through an established
cooperative agreement with the State of Texas TXMAS purchasing program in the
amount of $202,114.58. The resolution is attached for review.
FUNDING SOURCE:
Funding for this purchase will be funded partially by the Quality of Life Unencumbered

settlement from the City's insurance carrier.
This purchase will be made in accordance with an existing Cooperative Agreement with
the State of Texas TXMAS Purchasing program as allowed by Texas Local Government
Code, Section 271.082 and 271.083, State Cooperative Purchasing Program.
The proposed restroom facility for Parr Park is a replacement restroom facility for one
that was totaled due to a fire that was started by vandals in early May. Staff in Risk
Management is still negotiating the settlement with the City's insurance carrier. In the
meantime, the City is leasing a modular restroom facility that will remain at the park until
the new restroom facility is operational.
The Council Facilities Committee met recently to select the exterior finishes on the CXT
Incorporated restroom facility and photos of the proposed facility will be presented at the
meeting.
Bids were taken by the Cooperative and a contract was awarded to CXT Incorporated
under contract TXMAS -5- 560100. Parks and Recreation staff and Purchasing reviewed

the contract for specification compliance and pricing and determined that the contract
would provide the best product and pricing for meeting the needs of the City. The
Cooperative Purchasing Agreement satisfies all bidding requirements under the Texas
Local Government Code.
Staff recommends approval.
