SUBJECT
Title
Authorize a three-year master agreement for the purchase of saw blades for citywide use - Texas Bearings of Dallas, Inc., only bidder - Estimated amount of $187,500.00 - Financing: General Fund ($112,500.00), Dallas Water Utilities Fund ($50,000.00), and Stormwater Drainage Management Fund ($25,000.00)
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 provide for the purchase of saw blades for citywide use. Blades under this agreement will be used for cutting, sawing, or grooving of various types of surfaces and materials such as concrete and asphalt. These blades will aid City workmen in repairs for service requests and program work.
As part of the solicitation process and in an effort to increase competition, the Office of Procurement Services used its procurement system to send out email notifications to vendors registered under relevant commodity codes. To further increase competition, the Office of Procurement Services uses historical solicitation information, the Internet, and vendor contact information obtained from user departments to contact additional vendors.
