Analysis
Chapter 791 of the Texas Government Code, also known as the Inter-local Cooperation Contracts Act, authorizes all local governments to contract with each other to perform governmental functions or services including administrative functions normally associated with the operation of government such as purchasing of necessary equipment, supplies and services.
The City of Grand Prairie would like to enter into an inter-local cooperative agreement with the National Cooperative Purchasing Alliance so that we may purchase products and services that have been competitively bid by the NCPA. NCPA offers contracts for equipment, electrical products, furniture, tires, facility and maintenance services, lawn and landscape services, security services and many more. Purchasing through cooperative agreements saves Purchasing staff time and gets products and services to departments much sooner. The City will place orders and make payment directly to the vendor in most instances.
The supplier for each contract shall bill the City directly for all goods and services purchased and the City shall be responsible for payments and ensuring the supplier's compliance with all conditions of the agreement.
Financial Consideration
Purchases made through this inter-local agreement will be paid from various Capital or Operating budgets.
