This procurement will be made in accordance with Texas Local Government Code,

Houston/Galveston Area Council. A local government that purchases goods or services
under this subchapter satisfies any State law relative to the competitive bidding statutes.
The purpose of this resolution is to approve the purchase of 2005 Sterling L7500 truck
chassis and dump body from Houston Freightliner, Inc. through an existing
Houston/Galveston Area Council contract. This vehicle is a replacement for unit 12881

100,000 miles.
