Title
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute an Interlocal Agreement for joint and cooperative purchasing with the City of DeSoto.
Body
State law allows Cities to enter into Interlocal Agreement between government bodies to satisfy state bidding requirements when purchasing goods and services. The purpose of this agreement is to provide the City another option to facilitate compliance with State bidding requirements and realize administrative cost savings.
The agreement is very similar to other co-ops that the City's Purchasing Department uses for purchasing commodities and services as well as a source to use when comparing vendor's costs. This particular agreement will provide access to a wide variety of vendors providing commodities and services to The City of DeSoto.
