Body
BACKGROUND
This action does not encumber funds; the purpose of a master agreement is to establish firm pricing for goods, for a specific term, which are ordered on an as needed basis according to annual budgetary appropriations. The estimated amount is intended as guidance rather than a cap on spending under the agreement, so that actual need combined with the amount budgeted will determine the amount spent under this agreement.
This master agreement will allow for the purchase of emergency and non-emergency medical supplies for the Fire-Rescue Department. Currently, the Fire-Rescue Department supplies 59 stations throughout the City for use on 46 front line rescues (ambulances), 57 engines, and 24 front line ladder trucks. Each vehicle stores a pre-determined amount of supplies needed to provide medical care during an emergency response call. This master agreement will also provide emergency and non-emergency medical supplies on an as needed basis for purposes such as replenishing first aid kits.
The Omnia Partners and the Local Government Purchasing Cooperative (BuyBoard) agreements are authorized by Chapter 791 of the Texas Government Code and Subchapter F, Chapter 271, Texas Local Government Code. Section 271.102 of the Texas Local Government Code which authorizes a local government to participate in a Cooperative Purchasing Program with another local government or a local cooperative organization.
