SUBJECT
Title
A resolution ratifying the City Manager's execution of an emergency service price agreement with Couture Hotel Corporation dba Wyndham Garden Dallas North for lodging and food and beverage services to support homeless sheltering operations in response to COVID-19 - Estimated amount of $620,560 - Financing: General Fund
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 agreement will provide for lodging and food and beverage services to support homeless sheltering operations in response to COVID-19. Dedicated lodging for the homeless is essential for containing the spread of COVID-19 through social distancing.
This service was procured utilizing emergency procurement guidelines which allow for the procurement of goods and services where routine bidding requirements cannot be followed. Emergency procurements are exempt from competitive bidding under the City Charter and State Law.
