Body
BACKGROUND
This action does not encumber funds; the purpose of a service price agreement is to establish firm pricing for services, 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 service price agreement will provide for temporary industrial and day labor for citywide use. This agreement will be used on an as needed basis to assist in maintaining operations citywide. Utilizing temporary industrial and day labor allows departments the flexibility to adjust its workforce to meet service needs according to daily service demands.
The interlocal agreement with the City of Arlington 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 authorizes a local government to participate in a Cooperative Purchasing Program with another local government or a local cooperative organization.
