Bid Attributes
1 Cooperative Purchasing Confirmation
Tarrant County has the lead role in developing and encouraging Cooperative Purchasing efforts among
governmental entities that participate in its Cooperative Purchasing Program. Cooperative Purchasing can be a
great benefit to Tarrant County vendors by providing an avenue to offer materials and services to participating
entities. A current list of participating entities is included in this solicitation and an up-to-date list can be found on
the Tarrant County website:
https://www.tarrantcountytx.gov/content/dam/main/purchasing/Cooperative_Purchasing/ParticipatingEntities.pdf
If you, the Bidder, check Yes, the following will apply:
a) Governmental Entities utilizing Intergovernmental Contracts with Tarrant County will be eligible, but not obligated,
to purchase materials and services under the contract(s) awarded because of the solicitation. All purchases by
Governmental Entities other than Tarrant County will be billed directly to that Governmental Entity and paid by that
Governmental Entity. Tarrant County will not be responsible for another Governmental Entity’s debts. Each
Governmental Entity will order their own material and services as needed.
b) Delivery to governmental entities located within Tarrant County will be at no charge or as otherwise provided for
in the Award Document. Delivery charges, if any, for governmental entities located outside Tarrant County shall be
negotiated between the Vendor and each governmental entity.
c) Tarrant County utilizes County Purchase Orders as its primary means of encumbering funds and pays for goods
and services utilizing Vendor invoices. In the event Governmental Entities utilizing InterGovernmental Contracts use
other payment methods, including but not limited to, purchasing cards, debit cards, check requests or other
methods which cause the Vendor to incur service, processing, or other fees, these fees are the responsibility of that
Governmental Entity, unless otherwise negotiated with the Vendor.
d) Vendor(s) awarded contract(s) resulting from bid will be responsible for providing to Tarrant County, at no
additional charge, a complete list of all governmental entities currently utilizing the contract and their annual
expenditures. This information should be provided ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the contract, or as
otherwise requested by Tarrant County.
Should other Governmental Entities decide to participate in this contract, would you, as the Vendor, agree that all
terms, conditions, specifications, and pricing would apply? A “NO” answer could result in complete rejection
of the bid.
Yes No

2 Secondary/Alternate Award Agreement Confirmation
Secondary or Alternate Vendors serve in a backup capacity only. In the event the Primary is unable to honor the
terms and conditions of the contract, the Secondary Vendor(s) may be called. If the Secondary Vendor is unable to
honor the terms and conditions of the contract the Alternate Vendor(s) may be called. The Primary Vendor is the
first contact. Use of the Secondary or Alternate Vendor(s) must be approved, in writing, by the Tarrant County
Purchasing Agent or his designee in compliance with Texas Local Government Code 262.027(g).
1. In the event the Secondary or Alternate Vendors are called upon, they will offer the materials and services
at their awarded price(s), or better. Any attempt to increase their awarded price(s) may cause the removal of
the Vendor from the contract. Calling upon the Secondary or Alternate Vendors does not necessarily affect
the status of any awarded Vendor, including the Primary Vendor.
2. If a Secondary or Alternate Vendor represents themselves as the Primary Vendor without written
authorization from the Tarrant County Purchasing Agent, or his designee, the Secondary or Alternate Vendor
may be removed from the contract.
Would you, as the Vendor, be willing to accept a Secondary or Alternate Award based on the above?
Yes No
