MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ROGER NELSON, CITY MANAGER/o
MEETING DATE: OCTOBER 3, 2000
SUBJECT: INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT FOR A COOPERATIVE
PURCHASING AGREEMENT WITH TARRANT COUNTY
RECOMMENDATION:
City Council to consider approving a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute an
Interlocal Agreement with Tarrant County, Texas, for a cooperative purchasing
agreement to purchase various commodities currently under contract with the County.
BACKGROUND:
The Texas Local Government Code, Chapter 271.102, authorizes political subdivisions
to contract with each other for governmental functions such as the purchase of goods
and/or services. A local government that purchases goods or services under this
subchapter satisfies any State law relative to the competitive bidding statutes.
The Tarrant County Purchasing Cooperative Program continues to increase in size and
now includes cities in both Dallas and Tarrant Counties including Fort Worth, Plano,
University Park, Denton, Lewisville, Garland and McKinney. Dallas County is also a part
of the Tarrant County program.
The Cooperative has established various contracts for goods and services which are
competitive with or less than the City of Grapevine currently pays. Additionally,
administrative cost savings would be realized since the Cooperative has already
satisfied the bidding requirements of the State. Currently established contracts range
from telecommunications equipment to fuel, to various types of vehicles.
Staff recommends approval.

MANAGEMENT
Purchasing co-op stretches dollars
By Marc Flake
The author is the public
information officer for Tarrant
County, Texas.
If procurement officers are looking for
ways to decrease the cost of supplies, the
options are limited. In procurement, the
more units that are ordered, the less the
units will cost. But if the number of units
ordered annually does not vary much, the
overall cost of the contract is going to stay
about the same.
Governmental agencies buy pretty much
the same things — office supplies, pagers,
diesel fuel, asphalt and other day-to-day
necessities. If two agencies join together
and increase the number of units ordered
on a single contract, both agencies will see
a decrease in costs.
That is the idea behind the Tarrant
County Cooperative Purchasing Program,
which began four years ago when Tarrant
County Purchasing Agent Jack Beacham
began calling cities within the county to
gauge their interest in forming a coopera-
tive. The city of Colleyville was the first to
sign on, joining the county in buying fuel.
Through additional phone calls — but
mainly by word of mouth — other agencies
joined the co-op. Now, 57 agencies across
North Texas — from water districts and
cities to school districts and counties —
are able to stretch taxpayers' dollars by
purchasing supplies under the program.
The cooperative also saves time for its
members. Tarrant County prepares bid
specifications, gets quotes and reviews bids
on behalf of the other members, producing
approximately 100 contracts for bid each
year. Additionally, it benefits smaller ageri-
The program has demonstrated its suc-'
cess in the money it has saved its members..;
Last year, for example, the cooperative's`
contract price for digital pagers was $1.95'
per month per unit. That was a dollar less
than the state's contract, and considerably
more savings over the average $4.95 per
unit that other Texas agencies were paying.
The cooperative also got a great price
$19,148 each — on fully packaged police
cars. In recent bids by agencies not partici
pating in the program, Collin County paid -'
$19,192 for the cars; Denton County paid
$19,219; and the state of Texas paid.,
$19,250. Also, the cooperative's cost for
tires is 10 percent to 12 percent less than
the state's cost.
"When we were doing our bidding local-,
ly, we were paying $200 to $300 more per
car," says Ellis County Purchasing Agent
Hannah McCleary. "But we were only
putting out bids for four cars. Jack
(Beacham) puts out bids for 150 to 250
cars at a time."
Membership in the program is a two-
way street, allowing Tarrant County to
take advantage of purchasing bargains
made by other members. For example, the
county is currently buying fuel under Fort
Worth's contract, which saves the county
about $25,000 a year. Other agencies also
may hold contracts for the entire coopera-
tive. In fact, Dallas County is expected to
host the next round of bids for police cars.
The program is especially helpful to
small communities that do not have the
While participation is voluntary, the savings are hard to pass up.
cies by ensuring better service from ven-
dors. Suppliers are more likely to listen to a
complaint from a member of the co-op
rather than to a small city with a single
contract.
When specs are being written, Tarrant
County e-mails program members to deter-
mine whether they will participate in an
order. While participation is voluntary, the
savings are hard to pass up.
staff to manage bids on their own. Not
only does the co-op help save money with
higher volume buying, it also saves on
costs related to the bidding process, such as
advertising.
While cities and counties may have
many operational differences, there are
enough similarities in their basic day-to-
day necessities to make a purchasing coop-
erative successful.
