This purchase will be made in accordance with an existing Cooperative Purchasing
Agreement with the National Intergovernmental Purchasing Alliance as allowed by Texas
Local Government Code, Section 271.102, Cooperative Purchasing Program.
Bids were taken by the cooperative and a contract was awarded to Professional Turf

best product and pricing for meeting the needs of the City.
The mower is being purchased as a replacement for a mower that is seven years old and
has become a burden to our repair budget.
