Title

Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute electronically a Master Intergovernmental Cooperative Purchasing Agreement for registration and participation in the U.S. Communities Government Purchasing Alliance.

Body

State law allows cities to enter into Interlocal Agreements between governing bodies to satisfy 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 efficiencies and cost savings.

This agreement is very similar to other co-op’s that the City uses for purchasing commodities and services, as well as a source to use when comparing vendor costs.  This particular agreement will provide access to vendors providing law enforcement and fire rescue commodities and services, as well as a wide variety of other vendors providing commodities and services that could be used by the City as the need arises.
