Agenda No. 3
Lei' 1
City Council Meeting: January 22, 2019
Department: Planning & Community Development
Subject: Ordinance No. 19 -K -01 — Consideration
and/or action approving an Ordinance
releasing and terminating a vehicular non -
access easement on Lots 6 and 8, Block 1 of
the Enterprise Industrial Park Subdivision.
(Final Reading)
The property owner of Lot 6, Block 1 has been working with the City's Engineering and Economic
Development Departments to construct an access point to the property at the intersection of
Lookout Road and Schertz Parkway. This access point will cross the large drainage channel that
runs along the front of the property parallel to Lookout Road. In order to construct this access
point, a platted one foot (1') wide vehicle non - access easement that runs along the front of the
property adjacent to Lookout Road, must be released. The vehicle non - access easement was
established by subdivision plat in 2008 and crosses Lots 6 and 8. Rather than releasing the
easement just across Lot 6, staff is proposing to release it across both Lot 6 and Lot 8. Staff has
reached out to the owner of Lot 8 to make them aware that the non - access easement is being
released.
Vehicular non - access easements are generally used to control or restrict access onto certain
roadways. As a result of updates to the Public Works Specifications manual related to roadway
access requirements, the one foot (I') wide vehicle non - access easement is no longer needed to
control or restrict access in this subdivision.
City Council approved this on first reading at their meeting of January 8, 2019.
Goal
The goal of this ordinance is to release and terminate the vehicular non - access easement that is
located along the front of Lots 6 and 8, Block 1 of the Enterprise Industrial Park Subdivision
adjacent to Lookout Road.
City Council Memorandum
Page 2
Community Benefit
It is the City's desire to promote safe, orderly, efficient development and ensure compliance with
the City's vision of future growth. The release of the vehicular non - access easement will allow the
affected property owners construct an additional access point onto Lookout Road at the
intersection of Lookout Road and Schertz Parkway.
Summary of Recommended Action
Approval of Ordinance 19 -K -01 authorizing the release and termination of a vehicular non - access
easement along the front of Lots 6 and 8, Block 1 of the Enterprise Industrial Park Subdivision,
will remove an encumbrance and provide the affected property owners the ability to construct an
additional access point onto Lookout Road at the intersection of Lookout Road and Schertz
Parkway. The City Planning and Engineering Departments have reviewed the request and found
the existing one foot (1') wide vehicular non - access easement to no longer be needed due to
changes regarding access restrictions provided in the Public Works Specifications Manual which
limit and control the number, size and spacing of roadway access points onto City owned and
maintained roadways.
Release of this easement will not be detrimental to the public welfare and construction of the new
proposed drive and associated intersection improvements will be beneficial to the City's roadway
system.

Ordinance No. 19 -T -03 - An ordinance by
the City Council of the City of Schertz,
Texas authorizing an adjustment to the FY
2018 -19 Budget to provide additional
funding for the Corbett Elevated Water Tank
Project, repealing all ordinances or parts of
ordinances in conflict with this ordinance;
and providing an effective date; Final
reading
Currently, $4,046,162.70 ($3,148,917.24 from Capital Recover and $897,245.46 from Water
and Sewer Operating Funds) has been budgeted for the Corbett Elevated Water Tank project.
Staff now has construction bids for the Corbett Elevated Water Tank and needs to allocate an
additional $1.5 million to the project ($1,375,000 from Capital Recovery Water and
$125,000 from the Water & Sewer Operating Funds). With the construction bids, final
project costs are now $5,502,182.54. The additional $1.5 million allows for a $43,980.16
non - construction contingency.
Not all of the distribution mains are eligible to use Capital Recovery Funds. Capital
Recovery Impact fees can only be used to create new capacity so the system can provide
more water while Water & Sewer Operating Funds are used to replace existing mains. The
section of the distribution mains along Schaefer Road is already in place but will be replaced
with a larger pipe. The replacement costs for this section must come from Water & Sewer
Operating Funds, while the cost of increasing the size of the line can be from Capital
Recovery. The existing distribution main on Schaefer Road accounts for approximately 25%
of the final capacity of the new distribution main, therefore, 25% of the contracted cost, or
$125,000, will come from Water & Sewer Operating Funds.
City Council approved this on first reading at their meeting of January 8, 2019.
Summary of Recommended Action
Approval of Ordinance 19 -T -03 approving the budget adjustment.
FISCAL IMPACT
This ordinance will allocate an additional $1.5 million to the Corbett Elevated Tank project;
$1,375,000 from Capital Recovery Water and $125,000 from the Water & Sewer Operating
Funds. As of September 30, 2018, the Capital Recovery Water has a fund balance of
$6,608,113.78 and the Water & Sewer Operating Funds has an available cash and investment
balance for projects of $8,927,702. After the transfer, Capital Recovery Water would have
$5,233,113 remaining while the Water & Sewer Operating Fund would have $8,802,702.

Department: Engineering
Subject: Resolution No. 19 -R -02 — A Resolution by
the City Council of the City of Schertz,
Texas, authorizing a contract with Landmark
Structures 1, L.P. relating to the construction
of the Corbett Elevated Tank Project.
BACKGROUND
In order to provide adequate water service to the fast - growing southern Schertz area, it is necessary
for the City to construct a one - million gallon elevated storage tank as well as a three - million gallon
ground storage tank in the Southern Schertz Watershed. The first phase of the project includes the
Elevated Water Storage Tank and associated distribution water lines.
The Corbett Elevated Tank Project was designed by Ford Engineering as approved by resolution
15 -R -40. The scope of the project includes: construction of the one - million gallon composite
elevated storage tank, installation of the new pump station and flow meter, completion of all site
work, installation of the access road to the tank site, installation of all electrical controls and
instrumentation, installation of associated distribution water mains.
This project was publicly bid using the Competitive Sealed Proposal Method. Three (3) proposals
were received for the project. Selection of the most qualified contractor was based not only on
cost, but the following additional criteria: qualifications of the respondent firm and experience on
similar projects; experience on public projects; available resources to complete the project;
corporate history and stability; and references. A three person review committee reviewed all bids
and recommends Landmark Structures I, L.P. to perform the work. Landmark Structures I, L.P.
has proposed to perform the work for $4,682,000.00 and City Staff recommends a 10%
contingency of $468,200.00.
Once the contract is authorized, a notice to proceed is expected to be issued within two to three
weeks. Landmark Structures I, L.P. proposed to complete the project in 526 days from the notice
to proceed date.
COMMUNITY BENEFIT
Constructing the Corbett elevated tank will provide a higher quality of water service to the
residents of southern Schertz as well as provide a more resilient water supply that is less dependent
on water storage in central Schertz.
FISCAL IMPACT
This contract will be funded from Capital Recovery Water and the Water and Sewer Operating
Funds.

Resolution No. 19 -R -01 — A resolution by the
City Council of the City of Schertz, Texas
authorizing EMS debt revenue adjustments,
Utility Billing debt revenue adjustments and
Schertz Magazine debt revenue adjustments for
certain inactive outstanding receivables and
other matters in connection therewith
In the EMS, Utility Billing, and Magazine functions, services are provided to customers up front and
billing is settled later. Since services are provided before receiving payment, inevitably the City has
customers that do not pay for the services provided.
When this occurs, staff reaches out to the customer to try to collect the outstanding payment including
follow up notices and phone calls to try and reach out to the customer to remind them of the outstanding
balance and encourage payment. However, the longer the customer account goes without a payment the
less likely that any payment will be received.
Once a customer account reaches 180 days without payment, Staff brings those accounts to the City
Council to be "written off'. This process is an accounting procedure following the Generally Accepted
Accounted Principles (GAAP), which lays the framework of accounting practices in the U.S. This
designation means it is unlikely those outstanding balances will ever be collected. This leads to an
accounting adjustment on the City's Financial Statements to accurately show how much is still
outstanding and is reasonable to expect collection.
If a customer's account has been written off, this does not erase or forgive that debt. The city can and
does collect some portion of the amount owed by those customers. This can be through the debt collection
agency used by EMS or if the customer returns to the City and requests new services through the
Magazine or Utility Billing.
The resolution authorizes the debt for these areas that is more than 180 days outstanding as of December
01, 2018 to be written off. These write offs come before council quarterly and last came before council on
September 25, 2018.
Utility Billing wrote off the current and previous periods with the September 2018 write offs and has no
new bad debt accounts as of December 1, 2018.

Recovery of Bad Debt
As of December 31, 2018, EMS has recovered $5,074.70 of bad debt during the current fiscal year.
FISCAL IMPACT
This accounting adjustment will not affect the City's Budget or financial standing. The amount written off
is estimated during the budget process and is accounted for in the revenue estimations and the bad debt
expense accounts. The action taken tonight will reduce the amount shown as owed to the City by
$727,307.39 and set it equal to the amount seen as still reasonably collectible. The breakdown is as
follows:
EMS - $727,307.39

Resolution 19 -R -06 — A resolution
by the City Council of the City of
Schertz, Texas authorizing a Payroll
and Human Resources Service
agreement with ADP, and other
matters in connection therewith
In November 2018, the City's payroll clerk of 15 years announced her retirement. Staff took
this opportunity to consider various outsourcing options to ensure the payroll process was as
efficient and cost effective as possible. Requirements include an employee self - service
portal, seamlessly uploading benefit deduction information, automatically computing
longevity and certification pay, easy integration with a time keeping software, and a third -
party administrator to process payroll.
In FY 201.7 -1.8, staff had been authorized to review and implement a new time keeping
system to improve tracking of time and replace manual entry of Fire and EMS time sheets for
payroll. The new system would also need to provide employees the ability to see exact times
they arrived and left work as well as allow for multiple types of work schedules and overtime
calculations.
During the review of potential outsourcing companies, ADP was the only firm to meet all
criteria for payroll and time keeping with their all in one system.
ADP also can provide Human Resources and Benefits system currently provided by CivicHR
and Incode. This system would integrate into the payroll /time keeping and would reduce data
entry into multiple systems. ADP also integrates with the City's insurance provider to
provide automatic insurance updates based on open enrollment and life events.
Any payroll functions not provided by the ADP system can be redistributed to other existing
staff members with little change in workload due to the additional efficiencies.
ADP is a member of OMNIA Partners, a nationwide cooperative purchasing organization for
the public sector.
FISCAL IMPACT
*Expenditures listed are approximate
Overall the City has budgeted for these services $85,500 in FY 201.8 -19. ADP can provide all
the required services for approximately $75,000 for an annual savings of $10,500.
For the first year, the City would still have to continue to operate CivicHR and Incode until
ADP's new system is running and verified accurate. Those additional costs will be offset by
the one -time payment from Blue Cross Blue Shield to develop an employee self - service
portal which will be developed as part of the ADP platform. This contribution form Blue
Cross Blue Shield would turn the $13,000 over budget into a $2,000 net savings in year 1.
The annual payment for ADP is estimated to be $73,377.00 but can fluctuate by number of
active employees.
SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends City Council approve the resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter
into a contract with ADP for payroll and HR services.

CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
City Council Meeting: January 22, 2019
Department: Fire
Subject: Resolution 19 -R -07
Authorizing the City Manager to
enter into an agreement for the
purchase of one (1) Ford F550
Emergency response vehicle at a not
to exceed amount of $53,000.00
Background
The Fire Department received approval from Council on April 24, 2018 in resolution # 18 -R -47
to apply for a grant from State Homeland Security (UASI) Program. Schertz Fire was awarded
funding for a primary mover vehicle to support our Guadacoma Hazmat Team. Staff is bringing
this item to Council because it is a purchase over $50,000 and the Police department has previously
spent $199,696.75 with Silsbee Ford. The Police Department purchase was approved in Resolution
18 -R -150 on November 27, 2018.
Schertz Fire Department is a founding member of the FEMA Type III, GuadaComa Emergency
Response Group that includes New Braunfels, Seguin, Cibolo, Selma and the Guadalupe, Comal
and Bexar county area. The team currently covers 395 square miles of 3 counties ( Bexar, Comal.
and Guadalupe Counties). The estimated population in this area is approximately 235,000. This
group's sole purpose is to work jointly to mitigate hazardous material incidents to limit the public
and commercial impact of these situations.
This vehicle purchase will be used to transport the Hazmat Team trailer to calls in the Guadacoma
response area.
Goal
To authorize the City Manager to execute a purchase with Silsbee Ford for the purchase of one (1)
new 2019 . Ford F550 Vehicle.
Summary of Recommended Action
Approval of this resolution will allow the purchase of one (1) emergency response vehicle. The
purchase of this vehicle will be completed through Silsbee Ford under the GoodBuy cooperative
purchase agreement. This cooperative agreement allows the City to utilize contracts with a large
network of participating vendors providing the best value to the City. Authority for such
cooperatives is granted under Texas Government Code §§ 791.001 et seq as amended.
Additionally, Subchapter F, Chapter 271.102 of the Texas Local Government Code, "Cooperative
Purchasing Program Participation," provides that a local government may participate in a
cooperative purchasing program with other local governments or a local cooperative organization
established to provide local governments access to contracts with vendors for the purchase of
materials, supplies, services or equipment.
Fiscal Impact
The purchase of this emergency response vehicle will be funded through reimbursement through
the State Homeland Security Program (UASI) Grant funds. This grant is a 100% grant with no
matching funds required by the City.

CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
City Council Meeting: January 22, 2019
Department: Facilities Services
Subject: Resolution No. 19 -R -08 - A resolution by the City
Council of the City of Schertz, Texas authorizing
expenditures with Burch Roofing totaling no more
than $65,000.00 for roof replacement and repairs
during the 2018 -2019 Fiscal Year and other matters in
connection therewith
Burch Roofing was awarded the project of replacing the roofing on seven of the City's buildings. These
buildings included the three buildings at the Garden Ridge Water Tower, Pool Facility at Pickrell Park,
two Restroom buildings at Pickrell Park, and City Hall. The cost of the project was $40,495, and was
funded from existing bond revenue. This was expected to be completed 2017 -2018 Fiscal Year. Due to
the pool's summer schedule and the weather incurred at the end of the summer break for the schools the
project was delayed. The delay resulted in the billing and funding of the roofing project to fall within
the current year. Given that the work began in FY 2017 -18 Facilities Services staff incorrectly assumed
that this amount did not count toward the current FY 18 -19 limit of $50,000 with a particular vendor
that does not require Council approval. Subsequently staff spent another $9,560 with Burch roofing
putting the amount over $50,000. A lack of familiarity with account procedures plays a role in a lack of
compliance with the City's purchasing policy. Efforts to correct this issue an others will be covered as
part of the Purchasing workshop
To date, the City has spent approximately $50,055 with Burch Roofing for roofing.
For the remainder of the Fiscal Year, the Facilities Services Department anticipates about $15,000 in
additional roofing work and possible repairs with Burch Roofing.
GOAL
To obtain authorization from City Council for expenditures with Burch Roofing for roofing work in an
amount not to exceed $65,000.
COMMUNITY BENEFIT
Dry buildings that provide a place for the Public, Council, and City Staff to work and interact.
SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends that Council authorize Staff to use Burch Roofing with a new not to exceed amount
for Fiscal Year 2017 -18 in an amount not to exceed $65,000.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds (the not to exceed amount of $65,000 for roof replacement and repair are budgeted and available.

jurisdiction.

the development of the property and help the regional economy as new sites a prepared for

will not impede other property owners.

outlined in Resolution 10 -R -15

City Council Meeting: January 22, 2019
Department:
Subject:
BACKGROUND
City Manager's Officer
Ordinance No. 19 -S -02 — Conduct a public
hearing and consideration and /or action
approving an amendment of Part III, Schertz
Code of Ordinances, Unified Development
Code (UDC), Article 4 Section 21.4.9
Designation of Landmark Properties and
Heritage Neighborhoods and Article 13
Section 21.13.3 B Definitions Substantial
Improvement. (First Reading) (B. James /B.
James)
As stated in the Unified Development Code (UDC), City Council from time to time, on its own
motion, or at the recommendation of City Staff make amendments, change or modify text to any
portion of the UDC to establish and maintain sound stable and desirable development. It is
generally considered good practice to periodically review and update the development
regulations due to changing conditions, community goals and State and Federal regulations.
Based on the update to the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and changes in development it has
becomes necessary to update the UDC.
Designation of Landmark Properties and Heritage Neighborhoods
Staff is proposing to eliminate UDC Sec. 21.4.9 from Article 4 Procedures and Applications.
This section established the process for properties to be designated as Landmark Properties or
Heritage Neighborhoods. These are intended as honorary designations. As staff was working
with the Schertz Historical Preservation Committee on changes, it was deemed more appropriate
to not include this in the UDC. As such, staff is going to seek Council approval of a resolution
adopting the modified standards, but just not as part of the UDC.
F000dplain
Staff is proposing to amend UDC Sec.21.13.3 Definitions for the definition of Substantial
Improvement. The Federal Government establishes minimum standards for floodplain
management if their residents are to receive a subsidy for flood insurance; however, they may
adopt higher standards. Currently the City has adopted a higher standard for Substantial
Improvement for structures in the floodplain. This has proven problematic and an obstacle for
redevelopment along Main Street. As such staff is making a recommendation to amend the UDC
to adopt the minimum standard.
City Council Memorandum
Page 2
The current standard requires structures to be elevated or floodproofed if the cumulative value of
the improvements exceeds 50% of the value of the structure as it existed from the adoption date
of the ordinance (2013). As one may imagine, many structures had a lower value in 2013 than
today or than they will in the future. Given how broad the definition of improvements is
(replacing a broken AC or water heater, reroofing a structure, etc.), the current standard is
proving to be problematic.
Staff is proposing to amend the UDC to adopt the minimum standard — the value of the
improvements over one year cannot exceed 50% or the structure must be floodproofed or
elevated. The value of the property can be determined by the valuation listed with the appraisal
district or an appraisal of the property.
Goal
Promote the history and culture of the City of Schertz as well as maintain the vitality of the areas
of Schertz that are within the floodplain.
Community Benefit
Recognize structures of significance to the community's past and allow for reasonable
investment and maintenance of structures within the floodplain.
Summary of Recommended Action
Close the public hearing and approve the proposed ordinance on first reading.

City Council Meeting: January 22, 2019 .
Department: Engineering
Subject: Resolution No. 19 -R -03 A Resolution .
authorizing additional expenditures with
Ford Engineering, Inc. totaling no more than
$32,423.00 for professional engineering
services for the Schertz Pedestrian :Routes &
Bike Lanes Project. (B. James, S.
McClelland)
The City of Schertz Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Department applied for funding
from the Alamo Area Metropolitan Planning Organization in January 2017 for the Schertz
Pedestrian Routes and Bike Lanes Project. The project consists of construction of an off -road
trail between Schertz Parkway and Wiederstein Road along the LCRA utility easement;
construction of sidewalks on both sides of Live Oak Road between Schertz Parkway and FM
3009; and the striping of compliant bike lanes along both sides of Savannah Drive from the
Selma city limits to FM 3009, and Woodland Oaks Drive between Schertz Parkway and FM
3009.
On February 6, 2018 Council approved Resolution 18-R-08 authorizing expenditures with Ford
Engineering totaling no more than $99,018.00 for professional engineering design and
environmental services for the Schertz Pedestrian Routes & Bike Lanes Project. On June 26,
2018 Council approved Resolution 1.8 -R -71 authorizing additional expenditures with Ford
Engineering for $2,600.00 in order to create sidewalk easements that were found to be necessary
to complete the Schertz Pedestrian Routes & Bike Lanes Project. The City has a number of other
contracts with Ford Engineering for design work.
The scope of work for E. Live Oak Road in the original project was to add curb and gutter as
well as sidewalk to both sides of the road from Schertz Parkway to F.M. 3009. For many years it
has been discussed internally that a dedicated left turn lane at the intersection of E. Live Oak
Road and F.M. 3009 would help alleviate the traffic congestion that often occurs on E. Live Oak
Road due to the lack of a protected left turn movement. While staff was working to review the
proposed design, it became apparent that the opportune time to widen the road to accommodate
the turn lane would be with the Schertz Pedestrian Routes and Bike Lanes project so that the
curb and gutter and sidewalk could be located correctly. Through discussions with Ford
Engineering, TxDOT, and City Staff, a scope was agreed upon that would satisfy the needs of
both the City of Schertz and TxDOT. Ford Engineering provided a proposal for additional
services to adjust the design and to incorporate the necessary traffic signal work into the project.
These additional services include preparation of construction plan sheets and specifications for
the roadway and the necessary plan sheets and design for the traffic signal adjustments.
Goal
Extend the contract with Ford Engineering, Inc. to incorporate a dedicated left turn lane into the
design of E. Live Oak Road at F.M. 3009 in conjunction with the Schertz Pedestrian Routes &
Bike Lanes Project.
Community Benefit
Incorporating this work into the Schertz Pedestrian Routes and Bike Lanes Project will allow the
new curb and gutter and sidewalk to be placed in the correct final alignment based on the need
for an additional lane at the intersection.
Designing the addition of a left turn lane at the intersection of E. Live Oak Rad and F.M. 3009 is
also the first step in process towards making this improvement in the future. Once the design is
complete, staff will have a better idea as to the cost of adding the turn lane and can begin seeking
sources of funding. Ultimately, the addition of the left turn lane will help alleviate traffic
backups on E. Live Oak Road at F.M. 3009 by adding capacity to the intersection.
Summary of Recommended Action
Approval of Resolution 19 -R -03
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost to extend Ford Engineering's services is $32,423.00 and will be paid for the
Contingency Account.

CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
City Council Meeting: January 22, 2019
Department:
Subject:
Workshop No. B
Purchasing & Asset Management
Workshop Item 1 Purchasing Policy &
Guidelines
The Purchasing Department has undertaken an effort to thoroughly review the City's purchasing
process in an effort to correct issues that have been occurring and make improvements. A key
element of this effort was a review and update of the City's Purchasing Policy to better enable
staff to follow the proper procedures and rules when procuring goods and services for the City.
The City has been inconsistent in how procurement work is being accomplished, allowing
goods /services to be procured differently department to department. This inconsistency could
lead to the appearance of arbitrary and unfair procurement practices and result in a loss of
confidence and trust on the part of vendors and taxpayers.
The last purchasing policy revision was in 2011. As the policy aged, it became less effective to
staff as a guide. As a result, staff has tried to compensate for outdated policies by using
judgement and employing best practices. However, this has only contributed to the problem of
inconsistent process and procedures. Though outdated procurement practices may be able to still
meet basic operational needs, there has been little strategic focus on the organization's spending
practices other than determining whether the work was completed.
The City Charter previously dictated that the Purchasing Policy be approved by City Council.
However, with the 2015 . Charter amendments, this authority was delegated to the City Manager.
Staff is hoping to finalize the new policy in the next few weeks.
In addition to the development of a purchasing policy, the Purchasing Department has reviewed
its own policies, procedures and practices against best practices of benchmark cities to ensure the
department is performing efficiently and effectively. The Purchasing Department is
implementing several initiatives to address previous deficiencies and increase oversight of
procurement activities, including an improved process to track contract expiration dates,
increased transparency and communication of contract expenditures, and a new training program
required for all employees involved in procurement activities.
Staff has prepared a short presentation for Council to highlight some of the findings from the
most recent Department Review to include a high- level view of the key components of the
Purchasing Policy and related procurement processes.

'11 �
The purpose of this policy is to establish and describe the basic procurement philosophy and
processes under which the City of Schertz ( "the City ") operates. This established procurement
framework provides for the planned and consistent approach of cost - effectively obtaining the
necessary goods and services required to operate City departments in order to maintain service at
appropriate levels. Additionally, the policy outlines the consistent and ethical processes and
procedures that will demonstrate the City's commitment to procuring goods and services in a fair,
transparent, effective and legally compliant manner. The processes used to procure goods and
services should always provide the best value (price and quality) for the City, while providing an
open and fair process for vendors.
This policy will apply to all procurements funded by the City of Schertz, bond funds, and other
funds unless specifically exempted by applicable law or by City policy. The exceptions are limited
to items listed in Section 7, as well as certain professional services, real property, and leases that,
because of their nature, are not conducive to normal purchasing routine. These procurements shall
be made under the direction of the City Manager or designee.
This policy is effective immediately upon issuance, and supersedes all previous purchasing policy
instructions or directives.
2. ROLE OF THE PURCHASING DEPARTMENT
The Purchasing Department is charged with the overall responsibility for issuing solicitations and
negotiating with sources on matters relating to price, delivery, vendor selection and execution of
contracts in accordance with the City Policy, State of Texas Statutes, and applicable Federal
government requirements. The Purchasing Department will provide the initial contact point for
directors, managers, staff, suppliers, consultants, and the public interested in information on the
City's activities. It will oversee and supervise the issuance, receipt, and opening of all offers and
proposals that are submitted relative to the purchase of equipment, materials, supplies, and surplus
disposal. The Purchasing Department shall maintain purchase history information files, as well as
documentation of all transactions. The Purchasing Department will participate in negotiations,
where appropriate, with user departments, project managers, consultants or contractors relative to
specifications and contractual responsibilities. This will facilitate the thorough understanding and
preparation of specifications or contract terms and conditions. The Purchasing Department will
participate with user departments in establishing clear, concise, nonrestrictive specifications and
instructions to be utilized in procurement. City consultants and/or project managers, when
conducting the "request for quote" or bid processes, shall coordinate with the Purchasing
Department for all approvals to bid, advertisements and bid opening dates, as well as resulting
purchase orders or contracts. The Purchasing Department shall promote and maintain good vendor,
inter- departmental and community relationships.

3. PROCUREMENT STANDARDS
a. Ethics:
The City shall maintain the best possible relationship with all vendors. The goodwill of
sources and the reputation of the City will be promoted by:
i. .Keeping competition fair and open.
ii. Maintaining consistent procurement policies and principles.
iii. Observing strict truthfulness in all transactions and correspondence.
iv. Respecting the confidence of sales personnel and their companies as to
confidential or proprietary information, as well as being scrupulous about
maintaining the highest level of business ethics when dealing with sources and
City departments.
b. Conflicts of Interest:
i. Affiliates (e.g., business concerns, organizations or individuals) and employees
of the City are prohibited from submitting offers for or participating in any
contract for City purchases from which they would financially benefit, directly
or indirectly. No affiliate or employee of the City shall seek to influence in any
manner the award of a contract or purchase of a product or service from any
vendor. Affiliates and employees must immediately disclose to the City of any
silent partnership, proprietorship, employment, relationship or other
involvement in a prospective contract or procurement.
ii. Acceptance of gifts by employees from sources or potential sources at any time
is strictly prohibited, except for that which would be defined as de minimus by
the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Employees must not accept any gifts that
create an obligation to any source and shall not conclude any transaction from
which they benefit, directly or indirectly. City employees are not to participate
in any type of extravagant entertainment with a supplier, customer, consultant,
or contractor. These restrictions do not include entertainment such as business
meals, company sponsored dinners, etc., which are customary and proper under
the circumstances, as long as they are consistent with good business ethics and
do not place the recipient under an obligation of any kind.
Employees may not solicit or accept gratuities such as any type of
compensation, contribution, emolument, offer of employment, loan, reward,
rebate, gift, money, lodging, service, or "other thing of value," except as
specifically outlined in this section.
iii. Employees who do not comply with this policy may be subject to disciplinary
action in accordance with the City's Discipline policy.
M
Imp

discussions or negotiations with the City, or submits an application, response to a request
for proposals or bids, correspondence, or other writing related to a potential agreement with
the City and within seven (7) days after the date of an event that would make a filed
questionnaire incomplete or inaccurate. An updated, complete questionnaire is not required
if the person or business filed a questionnaire or updated questionnaire after June 1 but
before September 1.

misdemeanor punishable by a fine not to exceed $500.
4. PROCUREMENT AUTHORITY
The City Manager or one of the City Manager's Designees has authority to approve procurements
in the amount of $49,999.99 or less provided these expenditures are part of the City's budget and
do not require a budget transfer.
Contracts for the purchase of goods and services involving an expenditure in excess of $50,000
require the approval of the City Council, whether or not the purchase has been obtained through a
competitive bidding or RFP procedure. Council will approve all contract awards or reject all bids,
if a contract will not be awarded following a formal solicitation.
All purchases greater than $50,000.00 (either singly or cumulatively) with one vendor in a fiscal
year must be approved by City Council.
5. PURCHASING THRESHOLDS
a. Purchases Less Than $1,000
Department head or designee may exercise discretion regarding the procurement of
goods or services less than $1,000. Competitive quotations, formal bidding or a bid
tabulation sheet are not required, but competition is recommended. The Department
Head or designee must initiate and approve the purchase order prior to actual
purchase.
0
Imp
b. Purchases Greater Than $1,000 But Less Than $25,000
User departments are responsible for obtaining a minimum of three informal
telephone, email, fax or online quotes for goods or services when the total estimated
cost is within the $1,000 to $24,999.99 range with exceptions as authorized by this
policy. The quotes must be documented on a bid tabulation sheet and filed with
purchase order documentation.
Procurement of services in an amount less than $25,000 will generally be
accomplished with a Purchase Order (PO).
For all purchases greater than $1,000 but less than $25,000, staff must obtain quotes
from at least two (2) Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUB) located in
Guadalupe County on a rotating basis. If a HUB cannot be identified, the City is
exempt from this requirement.
For professional or personal services involving an anticipated fee of $1,000 to
$49,999.99, the Purchasing Department will prepare a professional services
contract.
c. Purchases Greater Than $24,999.99 But Less Than $50,000
User departments are responsible for obtaining a minimum of three informal written
quotes for goods or services when the total estimated cost is within the $25,000 to
$49,999.99 range with exceptions as authorized by this policy. The quotes must be
documented on a bid tabulation sheet and filed with purchase order documentation.
Procurement of services in an amount greater than $25,000 will require a written
contract prepared by the Purchasing Department.
For all purchases greater than $24,999.99 but less than $50,000, staff must obtain
quotes from at least two (2) Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUB) located
in Guadalupe County on a rotating basis. If a HUB cannot be identified, the City is
exempt from this requirement.
For professional or personal services involving an anticipated fee of $1,000 to
$49,999.99, the Purchasing Department will prepare a professional services
contract.
d. Purchases Greater Than $50,000
The Texas Local. Government Code requires either competitive bidding or
competitive Requests for Proposals ( "RFP ") for City purchases exceeding
$50,000.00 with few exceptions. City employees are prohibited from making
"separate, sequential, or component purchases to avoid the competitive bidding
requirements ". A violation of these prohibitions is a Class B misdemeanor
($1,000 fine and /or 180 days in jail), and conviction resulting in immediate
removal from office or employment and ineligibility for other public office or
employment for four (4) years after the date of conviction.
7
Imp
Departments shall consult with the Purchasing Department on the proper
procurement process to obtain goods and services greater than $50,000.
Detailed specifications and statements of work (SOW) will be developed by the
Department, in consultation with the Purchasing Department. The Purchasing
Department will coordinate all formal solicitations, in accordance with State of
Texas and local statutes. Component orders or contracts, each less than $50,000,
but which in the aggregate exceed that amount, and which reasonably should be
included in the one order or contract shall not be used to avoid the prohibition of
Statutes.
All purchases greater than $50,000.00 (either singly or cumulatively) with one
vendor in a fiscal year must be approved by City Council.
What this means: If one or multiple departments are purchasing from the same
vendor and the sum of all purchases will exceed $50,000 in one fiscal year, Council
approval is required. Plan ahead and anticipate expenditures as best as possible.
When departments know that they will be making numerous purchases over the
course of the fiscal year with one vendor, they should prepare a Council agenda
item to get authorization for a Not -To- Exceed (NTE) amount with that vendor.
Contact Purchasing for assistance with this process.
HIGH TECHNOLOGY PURCHASES: "High technology item" means a
service, equipment, or good of a highly technical nature, including:
a. data processing equipment and software and firmware used in conjunction
with data processing equipment;
b. telecommunications, radio, and microwave systems;
c. electronic distributed control systems, including building energy
management systems; and
d. technical services related to those items.
High technology purchases will be accomplished using a RFP process where the
anticipated expense is in excess of $50,000.00. The Texas Local Government Code
requires that the relative importance of price and other evaluation factors be
specified in the RFP. All RFP's will be prepared in cooperation with the User
Department, Information Technology and the Purchasing Department.
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES: "Professional. Services" are those services which .
involve mental or intellectual skills, usually accompanied by formal certification or
licensing by a state agency, such as accounting, architecture, land surveying,
engineering, medicine, real estate appraisal services. Section 2254 of the
Government Code prohibits the purchase of professional services using competitive
bidding requirements. User departments will select professional service consultants
on the basis of demonstrated competence and qualifications, and will negotiate fees
on the basis of what is fair and reasonable for the type of services, rather than on a
Imp
"low bid" basis. Except for architect, engineer and surveyor services as discussed
below, both price and qualifications can be considered in selecting consultants.
For the professional services listed above involving an anticipated expenditure of
more than $50,000, user departments are encouraged to use a formal solicitation
process in coordination with the Purchasing Department but it is not mandatory.
ARCHITECTS/ENGINEERS/SURVEYORS: Procurement of architectural,
engineering or surveying services is two-step process. The first step involves the
initial selection of the most highly qualified provider of the services based on
demonstrated competence and qualifications (and not considering price); and the
second step involves negotiation of a fee with the selected provider at a fair and
reasonable price. If a contract cannot be successfully negotiated with the most
highly qualified provider of services, then the contract negotiations will be formally
ended and negotiations with the second most qualified provider may be undertaken,
and so forth. It is important to keep in mind that price may not be considered in the
initial selection of an engineer, architect or surveyor.
CONTRACT AMENDMENTS: All contract amendments will be approved by
the City Council if the contract was originally approved by the City Council, or if
amendment amount will take the total contract value above $50,000.
ALTERNATIVE PROJECT DELIVERY METHODS FOR
CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS: The alternatives to the basic competitive
bidding model of construction procurement are best-value competitive bidding,
competitive sealed proposals, design-build, construction management-agent,
construction management at-risk, and job order contracting.
Alternative project delivery methods, as defined in the Local Government Code,
Chapter 27 1, Subchapter H, may be used as applicable.
6. EXEMPT PURCHASING FUNCTIONS
State law provides few exemptions from competitive bidding requirements. The City
encourages the use of making certain exempt purchases using an RFP procedure even though
such a procedure may not be required under state law.
a. Emergency Purchases:
Emergency purchases are those procurements necessary due to public calamity, to
act at once to relieve the hardship of the citizens or to preserve the property of the
City, to preserve or protect the public health or safety of the citizens, or when it is
due to unforeseen damage to public property, machinery, or equipment.
When emergency procurement of materials or services is required, the
Department Head will consult with the Purchasing Department and obtain
approval from the Executive Director prior to any procurement action.
M
Imp
ii. If an Executive Director is not available, the Department Head will obtain
only those materials or services absolutely critical to restore or re-
establish essential City services. The Department Head must advise the
Purchasing Department and the Executive Director of these actions as
soon as possible.
iii. With approval by the City Manager or one of the City Manager's
Designees, specific procurements ($50,000 or more) may be outside the
sealed bid process in the event of an emergency. The Purchasing
Department must be notified of the emergency situation as soon as
possible.
iv. Staff will seek and obtain approval of the City Council for emergency
procurements in excess of $50,000 as soon as possible.
b. Sole Source Purchases:
State laws allow for a limited exemption from competitive bidding for the purchase
of goods where the functional requirements of the City can be satisfied by only one
source.
This applies to purchases where competition is precluded such as:
The existence of patents, copyrights, secret processes or natural
monopolies;
ii. The purchase of films, manuscripts or books; purchases of gas, water,
and other utility services; and
iii. The purchase of captive replacement parts or components for equipment.
A product is eligible for sole source purchase only when there is a significant
functional difference between the product and other similar products on the market,
and when the item is available only from one vendor. The following are not
sufficient justifications for a sole source purchase:
A product is made by only one manufacturer, if products from other
manufacturers are available that perform a similar function.
ii. A particular name brand of product is preferred over other brands.
iii. Only one local vendor offers a product, if other vendors who offer the
product can meet the City's needs.
All requests for sole source purchase must be coordinated through the Purchasing
Department prior to any procurement action.
mi
Imp
c. Cooperative Purchasing:
The City may enter into cooperative buying agreements with other local
government agencies in accordance with the State of Texas Interlocal Cooperation
Act of 1971. Use of co -ops should be coordinated through the Purchasing
Department. When co -ops are used, bids are not required. However, employees are
expected to use due diligence to ensure best value for the City. Cursory checks
should be completed to ensure that cooperative pricing is competitive and in line
with market value. An approved purchase order is required before any purchase can
be finalized.
7. EQUIPMENT AND VEHICLE PURCHASES
a. All rolling capital equipment and vehicle specifications will be reviewed by the
Fleet Department prior to bidding and/or purchase approval.
b. Vehicle purchase, receipt and outfitting must be processed through Fleet and the
Purchasing Department to ensure proper operation, registration, vehicle markings,
and insurance requirements are met. This applies to all vehicles regardless of which
Department or funding source made the purchase.
c. Fleet will not release the vehicle until all requirements are met.
8. PETTY CASH PURCHASES:
a. Petty cash may be used for emergency acquisition of supplies and /or services when
the vendor will not accept a purchase order or procurement card. It is also used for
attendance at luncheons, meetings, etc., where "cash only" is the normal method of
payment.
b. No item purchased with petty cash funds may exceed $1.00.
c. All petty cash purchases must be supported with a receipt and written justification
for the purchase.
d. Individuals authorized to maintain petty cash accounts can get their accounts
replenished by submitting a Purchase Order and attaching all relevant receipts as
back -up to the Finance Department.
9. SPECIAL PROCEDURES FOR PUBLIC SAFETY SPECIFIC ITEMS:
a. Any items that require special licensing to order, including but not limited to such
items as medical supplies, medicines, firearms and ammunition, chemicals, etc.,
will be ordered by an authorized individual in the department.
11
Imp
b. The person who holds a valid license to make such purchases must still coordinate
with the Purchasing Department to ensure the best source of procurement.
c. After the Purchasing Department has determined the best source of procurement,
the license holder will prepare the appropriate purchase order, in accordance with
this policy.
10. INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS:
The City may require certain insurance coverage to be provided by contractors, vendors and
consultants. In general, if a service is being provided on City property, proof of insurance is
required. Specific insurance requirements are incorporated into bid documents and
specifications for each bid, proposal, or "request for purchase." Insurance requirements are
reviewed periodically to determine the appropriateness of coverage and values.
11. FIXED ASSETS
The City is responsible for keeping records of all of its fixed assets. All new assets which have
an original cost of $5,000 or more and an estimated life span of greater than one (1) year are
fixed assets and will be added to the fixed assets records. All duties and responsibilities related
to fixed assets inventory records are supervised by the Purchasing Department. Cooperation
from department directors and division managers throughout the City is necessary if the system
is to work; however, this effort is centrally organized, monitored, and reported by the
Purchasing Department staff.
12. SURPLUS
Individual Departments must contact the Purchasing Department for assistance with asset
disposal. Surplus items will only be accepted with the proper forms and with advance notice
and approval by the Purchasing Department. The Purchasing Department will determine if an
item is surplus or salvage property.
13. CONSIDERATION OF LOCATION OF BIDDER'S PRINCIPAL PLACE OF
BUSINESS
For purchases of $50,000 and over, where competitive sealed bids are used, a bid received
from a bidder whose principal place of business is located within the City limits may be
approved if the bid is within 3% of the lowest bid price received from a bidder outside the City
limits, provided that said bid meets all qualifications and specifications and provides the best
value to the City.

Sourcing Strategy
Identifying a need properly is important; however, determining how best to meet that need is of
equal importance. Needs can be met by a multitude of sources.
These basic classifications are:
o Insourcing: process of completing a business function in- house.
o Outsourcing: process of contracting out a business function to an external entity.
o Multi- sourcing: a strategy that distributes a function such as IT or Finance, as a portfolio of
activities, some of which are performed internally and some of which are external.
In order to determine if a service should be insourced, outsourced, or multi- sourced, the following
criteria should be considered:
o Efficiency of cost vs value;
o Effectiveness in meeting the need;
o Expertise needed to solve the problem;
o Workload timing of insourced staff availability;
o Workload volume of insourced staff to continue to provide service;
o Scaiability of the solution to adjust to demand; and
o Mandated compliance requirements.
A Case for Insourcing:
There are several sources of solutions for needs that are not currently met by the City. Some may be
derived internally. For a short -term need such as a storm damage cleanup of fallen trees, this can be
accomplished by one of two means, temporary reassignment of staff or increase in the hours worked.
Both have costs to the City; however, the short-term nature of the need does not require an extended
cost commitment on departments if personnel and equipment resources are available. Long -term needs,
however, may require a different approach.
A Case for Outsourcing:
For example, instead of storm damage cleanup of trees, City properties may have suffered a blight such
as oak wilt. The mitigation would require extended specialized and technical capability to handle such
a situation. In this case, the time committed to such a project might stretch in -house resources beyond
the ability to effectively combat the issue. The City may hire additional staff to confront the issue
however, after the issue is resolved, additional staff would require a long -term commitment of financial
and administrative resources. This need could effectively be outsourced to a firm with the specialized
technical skills and equipment to quickly and professional mitigate the issue. After the project is
complete, the expenditure commitment is ended.
Contact the Purchasing Department for assistance with sourcing.

CITY OF SCHERTZ PURCHASING POLICY
Purpose of the Purchasing Policy: The purpose of this policy is to establish ethical
guidelines and accountability for the expenditure of taxpayer funds to procure goods and
services used by the City of Schertz (the City) departments and offices. The processes used to
procure goods and services should always provide the best value (price and quality) for the
City, while providing an open and fair process for vendors. In accordance with Section 7.08
of the City Charter, the Schertz City Council (the City Council) has approved this policy.
Therefore, as necessary, appropriate revisions may be made only at the discretion of the City
Council. The Purchasing Department is responsible for accurate maintenance and distribution
of approved revisions, including the rules, regulations, and procedures necessary to adhere to
the policy. It is essential, therefore, that compliance with the City of Schertz Purchasing
Policy be supported by all employees of the City.
a. The Purchasing Department is authorized to act as the centralized office for the
acquisition, management and disposal of City equipment, materials, and supplies. The
Purchasing Department is charged with the responsibility of assuring that all
procurements are in accordance with the City Charter, State of Texas Statutes, and
applicable Federal government requirements.
b. This policy will apply to all acquisitions funded by the City of Schertz, bond funds,
and other funds unless specifically exempted by applicable law or by City policy. The
exceptions are limited to items listed in subparagraph 1.3, as well as certain
professional services, real property, and leases that, because of their nature, are not
conducive to normal purchasing routine. These acquisitions shall be made under the
direction of the City Manager or one of the persons designated to the City Council by
the City Manager to act for him/her in the event of the City's Manager's absence or
unavailability (the "City Manager's Designees ").
c. The Purchasing Department shall develop and maintain adequate, reliable sources of
supply. It shall provide for product quality assurance and obtain all purchases at the
lowest cost that quality, quantity and safety permit.
d. The Purchasing Department shall promote and maintain good vendor, inter-
departmental and community relationships and assure that they remain within the
ethical limits as set forth in the American Bar Association's Model Procurement Code
for State and Local. Government, as prescribed by the Texas State Comptroller.
Purchase orders, contracts, and change orders shall be made and executed by the
Purchasing Department, pursuant to a written purchase requisition. The City is not
responsible for verbal agreements for materials, parts, equipment, supplies,
construction or services delivered without a written order.
2. Principles of the Purchasing Policy: The Purchasing Department is charged with the
overall responsibility for issuing solicitations and negotiating with sources on matters
relating to price, delivery, vendor selection and execution of contracts. For bids on purchases
of supplies, equipment, or services costing $50,000 or greater, the City Purchasing
Department will assist the Secretary as specified in subparagraph 4d below. The Purchasing
Department will provide the initial contact point for directors, managers, staff, suppliers,
consultants, and the public interested in information on the City's activities. It will oversee
and supervise the issuance, receipt, and opening of all offers and proposals that are submitted
relative to the purchase of equipment, materials, supplies, and surplus disposal. The
Purchasing Department shall maintain purchase history information files, as well as
documentation of all transactions. The Purchasing Department will participate in
negotiations, where appropriate, with user departments, project managers, consultants or
contractors relative to specifications and contractual responsibilities. This will facilitate the
thorough understanding and preparation of specifications or contract terms and conditions.
The Purchasing Department will participate with user departments in establishing clear,
concise, nonrestrictive specifications and instructions to be utilized in procurement. City
consultants and /or project managers, when conducting the "request for quote" or bid
processes, shall coordinate with the Purchasing Department for all approvals to bid,
advertisements and bid opening dates, as well as resulting purchase orders or contracts. The
Purchasing Department has full authority to question the use, quality, quantity and kind of
item requisitioned.
a. Ethics: The Purchasing Department shall maintain multiple sources of supply for
all procurements, as well as the best possible of relationships with vendors. The
goodwill of sources and the reputation of the City will be promoted by:
i. Keeping competition fair and open.
ii. Maintaining consistent buying policies and principles.
iii. Observing strict truthfulness in all transactions and correspondence.
iv. Respecting the confidence of sales personnel and their companies as to
confidential or proprietary information, as well as being scrupulous about
maintaining the highest level of business ethics when dealing with sources
and City departments.
b. Conflicts of Interest:
Affiliates (e.g., business concerns, organizations or individuals) and
employees of the City are prohibited from submitting offers for or
participating in any contract for City purchases from which they would
financially benefit, directly or indirectly. No affiliate or employee of the
City shall seek to influence in any manner the award of a contract,
purchase of a product or service from any vendor. Affiliates and
employees must immediately disclose to the City of any silent partnership,
proprietorship, employment, other involvement or relationship in a
prospective contract or procurement.
W
ii. Acceptance of gifts by employees from sources or potential sources at any
time is strictly prohibited, except for inexpensive advertising items of
nominal value. Employees must not accept any gifts that create an
obligation to any source and shall not conclude any transaction from
which they benefit, directly or indirectly. Employees of the City are not to
participate in any type of extravagant entertainment with a supplier,
customer, consultant, or contractor. These restrictions do not include
entertainment such as business meals, occasional attendance at
professional sporting events, company sponsored dinners, etc., which are
customary and proper under the circumstances, as long as they are
consistent with good business ethics and do not place the recipient under
an obligation of any kind.
iii. Vendors shall be advised from time -to -time that employees may not solicit
or accept gratuities such as any type of compensation, contribution,
emolument, offer of employment, loan, reward, rebate, gift, money,
lodging, service, or "other thing of value," except as specifically outlined
in this section. If a trip to a source's plant or distribution center becomes
necessary for technical or other reasons, the trip must be made at the
City's expense, unless provided for contractually by the vendor and /or
approved by the City Manager. Noncompliance with this policy from a
vendor, consultant, or contractor may be justification for termination of
the business relationship.
iv. Employees who do not comply with this policy may be subject to
disciplinary action and appropriate legal prosecution. Any employee
failing to comply with purchasing policies may also be required to pay for
the items or services out -of- pocket, and /or be subject to disciplinary
action, including termination.
Purchasing Department Personnel: It is essential that Purchasing Department
personnel are well trained and acquainted with the legal requirements and regulations
governing the purchasing function. When potential conflict with an existing
regulation is suspected, or legal assistance is advisable, it is the responsibility of the
Purchasing Department to notify the City Manager or one of the City Manager's
Designees.
d. City Employees: All city employees are required to file a City of Schertz Conflict of
Interest Form with the Purchasing Department if any family member is conducting,
will conduct, or plans to conduct business with the City of Schertz. The form will be
filled out annually (once a year) and filed with the Purchasing Department no later
than October 1 of each year in which the family member begins discussions,
correspondence, negotiations, submits an application or responds to a bid or proposal.
Elected and Appointed Officials: Elected and appointed officials and vendors are
required to file with the City Secretary the state - mandated Conflicts Disclosure
Statement as enumerated below:
For Contractors: A person or business, and their agents, who contract with
the City or who seek to contract with the City are required by Texas Local

begins contract discussions or negotiations with the City, or submits an
application, response to a request for proposals or bids, correspondence, or
other writing related to a potential agreement with the City and within
seven (7) days after the date of an event that would make a filed
questionnaire incomplete or inaccurate. An updated, complete

and commissions (including the Economic Development Corporation)

services. Detailed specifications are included in the invitation to bid. State of Texas
and local statutes apply to advertisement and opening of bids. Component orders or

0
the City Manager may further delegate this responsibility to the Assistant City
Manager(s).
d. EXCEPTION: With approval by the City Manager or one of the City Manager's
Designees, specific procurements ($50,000 or more) may be outside the sealed bid

the hardship of the citizens or to preserve the property of the City.
ii. To preserve or protect the public health or safety of the citizens.

equipment.

b. Procurement of professional /personal services, as defined in Chapter 2254
"Professional and Consulting Services" of the Texas Government Code.
7. Noncompetitive Negotiations: (sole source, proprietary source)
Used in those specific instances where competition is nonexistent, or in certain "exempted
procurements" because of the existence of patents, copyrights, secret processes, or the
purchase of captive replacement parts or components for equipment, as well as the technical
services related to such equipment, as long as governmental policy, rules and regulations do
not prohibit them. Determination of sole source /proprietary source status must be reviewed
annually.
8. Cooperative Purchasing:
The City may enter into cooperative buying agreements with other local government
agencies in accordance with the State of Texas Interlocal Cooperation Act of 1971, as
approved by the City Manager or one of the City Manager's Designees.
9. Two -Step Advertised Procurement:
This method is used when competitive solicitation requirements are mandatory, but detailed
specifications are lacking. The first step in the process is the issuance of a request for
conceptual proposals to be submitted without indicating prices, through the advertised, sealed
bid process. The second step consists of obtaining fair prices for the delivery as developed
1.0
from the conceptual proposals. The request for pricing is sent only to those firms the City (or
its duly authorized consultant) has determined can and will fulfill the requirement, again
utilizing the sealed bid process. Award is made to the evaluated "best and lowest" vendor
only.
10. Alternative Project Delivery Methods:
Alternative project delivery methods, as defined in the Local Government Code, Chapter
271, Subchapter H, may be used as applicable.
11. Consideration of Location of Bidder's Principal Place of Business:
For purchases of $50,000 and over, where competitive sealed bids are used, a bid received
from a bidder whose principal place of business is located within the City limits may be
approved if the bid is within 3% of the lowest bid price received from a bidder outside the
City limits, provided that said bid meets all qualifications and specifications and provides the
best combination of price and additional economic development opportunities for the City.
12. Insurance Requirements:
The City may require certain insurance coverage to be provided by contractors, vendors and
consultants. In general, if a service is being provided on City property, proof of insurance is
required. Specific insurance requirements are incorporated into bid documents and
specifications for each bid, proposal, or "request for purchase." Insurance requirements are
reviewed periodically to determine the appropriateness of coverage and values.
If a vendor requires insurance for their product which is on a lease basis with the City of
Schertz, the Risk Manager must be notified immediately and all documentation must be filed
with the City Secretary's office.
13. Purchase Order Exemptions:
Certain recurring monthly expenses detailed below do not require a purchase order. Invoices
for these expenses should be submitted directly to the Finance Department, with appropriate
account coding and signature of the Department Head or his designee. The following items
do not require a purchase order:
