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 Brite

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.
