Title

Body
BACKGROUND
This action does not encumber funds; the purpose of a service price agreement is to establish firm pricing for goods and services, for a specific term, which are ordered by all City departments 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 allow the City to purchase computers, computer-related equipment, and accessories according to standards established for all new and replacement computer orders. Additionally, this agreement includes vendor provided services for warranty, repair, installation and de-installation of existing equipment, onsite support, as well as a vendor website for order processing (E-Commerce), and asset management support.
The Department of Information Resources Cooperative agreement is authorized by Chapter 791 of the Texas Government Code.
