Title
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute an Interlocal Agreement with the City of Bastrop for Joint and Cooperative Purchasing.
Body
Texas Government Code Chapter 791 allows local governments to enter into Interlocal Agreements to increase efficiency and effectiveness of local programs. The purpose of the agreement is to provide both the City of Round Rock and the City of Bastrop with the authority to appoint the other party as its purchasing agent for the purchase of goods and services. The use of purchasing cooperatives can provide for efficient discount pricing and expedited placement of orders. This agreement is very similar to other cooperatives that the City currently uses with other cities and local government, including agreements with the City of Austin and Travis County. This contract is evergreen with no expiration date. Staff recommend approval of this item and is available for any questions.
