P68-SR1687398579 - Approve spending authority to purchase aboveground fuel and fluid storage with related hardware, software, and services from PSI JF Petroleum Group, Inc. through the Cooperative Purchasing Agreement with Sourcewell, in an amount not to exceed $159,329.95. The Cooperative Agreement expires November 18, 2028. If Sourcewell and PSI JF Petroleum Group, Inc. agree to extend the Cooperative Agreement before the expiration date, this award authorizes the City to purchase similar aboveground fuel and fluid storage with related hardware, software, and services under the extended Cooperative Agreement and automatically extends the term of this award to match the term of the extended Cooperative Agreement.
Specific Explanation:
The Director of the Fleet Management Department (FMD) and the Chief Procurement Officer (CPO) recommend that City Council approve spending authority to purchase aboveground fuel and fluid storage with related hardware, software, and services through the Cooperative Purchasing Agreement with Sourcewell in an amount not to exceed $159,329.95 for the FMD and that authorization be given to make purchases, as needed, from the Sourcewell contract supplier PSI JF Petroleum Group, Inc. This amount is anticipated to fund four (4) years of aboveground fuel and fluid storage with related hardware, software, and services from PSI JF Petroleum Group, Inc.
The Cooperative Agreement expires November 18, 2028 (“Expiration Date”). If Sourcewell and PSI JF Petroleum Group, Inc. agree to extend the Cooperative Agreement before the expiration date, this award authorizes the City to purchase similar aboveground fuel and fluid storage with related hardware, software, and services under the extended Cooperative Agreement and automatically extends the term of this award to match the term of the extended Cooperative Agreement. If Sourcewell and PSI JF Petroleum Group, Inc. do not agree to extend the Cooperative Agreement before the expiration date, but Sourcewell and PSI JF Petroleum Group, Inc. execute a new Cooperative Agreement with substantially similar terms and conditions, as determined by the CPO and Director of the FMD in conjunction with the City Attorney, as the existing Cooperative Agreement before the end of the term of this award, this award authorizes the City to purchase similar aboveground fuel and fluid storage with related hardware, software, and services under the new Cooperative Agreement and automatically extends the term of this award to match the term of the new Cooperative Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term of this award, including any renewals or extensions, shall not exceed ten years.
This recommendation is made pursuant to subsection 791.025 of the Texas Government Code, which provides that "a local government may agree with another local government or with the state or a state agency, including the comptroller, to purchase good s and services” and that such a purchase “satisfies the requirement of the local government to seek competitive bids for the purchase of the goods and services."
