Background:

S35-E32622 – Approve spending authority in the amount not to exceed $11,490,956.09 for equipment rentals and related products and services through the Master Intergovernmental Cooperative Purchasing Agreement (MICPA) with OMNIA Partners for various departments.

 

Specific Explanation:

The Chief Procurement Officer recommends that City Council approve spending authority in the amount not to exceed $11,490,956.09 for a two (2) year period with one (1) two year option  through the MICPA with OMNIA Partners for equipment rentals and related products and services for various departments and that authorization be given to make purchases using purchase orders and/or the City's purchasing card, as needed, to the OMNIA Partners' Lead Public Agency contractor Herc Rentals, Inc.   

 

The MICPA with OMNIA Partners' Lead Public Agency contractor will provide various types of construction and operations equipment. The equipment to be rented includes but is not limited to forklifts, trash pumps, excavators, skid steer loaders, boom lifts, arrow boards, water trucks, mowers, trucks, vans, and generators. The aforementioned equipment will be utilized to supplement the City's fleet. Utilization of the MICPA allows the City to leverage existing U.S. governmental contracts with over 55,000 participating agencies with an estimated purchasing power exceeding $2 billion annually.  Additionally, the City may receive volume incentive rebates on rentals. 

 

This recommendation is made pursuant to subsection 271.102(c) of the Texas Local Government Code, which provides that "a local government that purchases goods or services from a cooperative purchasing program or organization satisfies any state law requiring the local government to seek competitive bids for the purchase of the goods or services."
