SUBJECT
Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, a Texas home-rule municipal corporation,
authorizing the City Manager to execute an Interlocal Cooperative Purchasing Program Agreement with
Omnia Partners, a cooperative purchasing organization, under the Texas Government Code, Section
791.001, to authorize City of Denton to utilize various contracts for the purchase of goods and services;
authorizing the expenditure of funds therefor; and declaring an effective date (File 7800 – award an
Interlocal Cooperative Purchasing Agreement with Omnia Partners).
INFORMATION/BACKGROUND
This agreement will allow the City to utilize contracts for goods and services competitively solicited by
Omnia Partners. The solicitation process for interlocal cooperative agreements meets all statutory
procurement requirements. Omnia Partners has contracts for goods and services related to city operations
including administration, athletics, playgrounds, construction equipment, facilities, fleet, technology,
public safety, and airports.
Pricing obtained through the Intergovernmental Cooperative Purchasing Agreement has been
competitively bid and meets the statutory requirements of Texas Local Government Code Chapters 252
and 271. This allows the City to enter into joint contracts and agreements for the performance of
governmental functions and services including administrative functions normally associated with the
operation of government such as purchasing of necessary materials and supplies. The attached agreement
is an authorization for the City of Denton to participate in contracts awarded by Omnia Partners. The
contract will remain in effect until terminated by either party.
Chapter 791 of the Government Code requires that all Cooperative Agreements must be authorized by the
governing body, regardless of the dollar amount.
