Body
BACKGROUND
The master agreement portion of 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 action will approve the establishment of a three-year master agreement for the purchase of protective gas masks and related parts for the Dallas Police Department (DPD). Protective gas masks purchased through the master agreement are utilized to equip DPD patrol personnel with necessary protection against harmful airborne substances when they are encountered.
The Local Government Purchasing Cooperative (BuyBoard) agreement is 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.
