SUBJECT
Title
Authorize a one-year cooperative purchasing agreement for the purchase and installation of a friction tester for the Department of Aviation with Halliday Technologies, Inc. through the General Services Administration cooperative agreement - Not to exceed $117,349.67 - Financing: Aviation Fund
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.
This cooperative purchasing agreement will provide for the purchase and installation of a friction tester for the Department of Aviation. The purpose for conducting runway friction assessments is to enhance the safety of the flying public. As required in Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Advisory Circular 150-5320/12C, Airside Operations conduct friction surveys on a weekly basis. This testing provides current pavement friction conditions. If assessments determine unacceptable levels of contamination, this information assists airport staff in developing mitigation plans. Our current equipment is antiquated and does not have a large enough water tank to conduct full assessments of both runways in a timely manner. The new equipment is essential for maintenance of the runway surfaces and continuation of aircraft operations during winter weather.
The General Services Administration 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.
