Body
BACKGROUND
The purchase of water wall barriers will serve as barricades prohibiting vehicles from exiting Garland Road and crossing into White Rock Lake Trail for the Park & Recreation Department. The purchase of these water wall barriers will provide for the continued use and enjoyment of the trails by hikers, cyclists, and pedestrians by ensuring the protection of vegetation cover and the prevention of soil erosion caused by unauthorized vehicle access on City trails.
The water wall barriers utilize water dispersion upon impact that ruptures the plastic container and disperses the contained water to prevent vehicle intrusion into the prohibited zone. In addition, its durable polyethylene plastic minimizes cracking and breaking allowing for pro-longed re-use and longevity.
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.
