Body
BACKGROUND
This action does not encumber funds; the purpose of a cooperative purchasing 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 cooperative purchasing agreement will provide for a wastewater treatment system for food service related grease buildup to assist with the prevention of clogs from drain line backups caused by fats, oils, grease, and other organic materials for the Department of Aviation at Dallas Love Field. The biochemical treatment system is a critical part of ensuring that FOG’s never cause blocked drains or odors in the drain lines plumbing system.
The Texas Association of School Boards cooperative 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.
On November 10, 2015, the City Council authorized a living wage policy that requires contractors to pay their employees a “living wage” rate as established annually by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Living Wage Calculator for Dallas County by Resolution No. 15-2141. The current calculated living wage during the solicitation process of this contract is $11.71; the selected vendor meets this requirement.
