SR1472784138 – Approve spending authority in the amount not to exceed $4,750,000.00 for the purchase of airport terminal furniture from Arconas Inc. through the The Interlocal Purchasing System (TIPS) Cooperative for term of 5-years for the Houston Airport System.
Specific Explanation:
The Director of The Houston Airport System and the Chief Procurement Officer recommend that City Council approve spending authority in the amount not to exceed $4,750,000.00 for the purchase of airport terminal furniture through the TIPS Cooperative supplier, Arconas Inc., for the term of 5 years.
This procurement is for repairing and replacing airport and passenger terminal furniture due to the everyday wear caused by the number of passengers who utilize the fixtures. Both airports must repair, maintain, update, and add furniture periodically as passenger needs and expectations change. Furthermore, this procurement will ensure the continuity of aesthetics and design throughout the various terminals during the remodeling processes.
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”.
MWBE Participation:

Hire Houston First:
This procurement is exempt from the City's Hire Houston First Ordinance. Bids/proposals were not solicited because the department is utilizing an Interlocal/Cooperative Purchasing Agreement for this purchase.
