This is a Cooperative Purchasing Agreement document from the City of Lewisville, Texas, related to a competitive sealed bid solicitation for Emergency Road Flares. The agreement permits governmental entities external to the City of Lewisville to participate in the contract if the awarded vendor agrees to extend the same terms, conditions, specifications, and pricing to these additional entities. The contract term is twelve months with an option to extend for up to three additional twelve-month periods, subject to mutual agreement between the supplier and the City. Award will be based on best value as defined in Local Government Code Chapter 252, and all questions must be submitted through the Bonfire platform's questions and answers section.

Participating governmental entities other than the City of Lewisville may purchase materials and services under the awarded contract but will be billed directly and are responsible for their own payments; the City assumes no liability for other entities' debts. Each governmental entity must place its own orders as needed. The vendor must acknowledge acceptance of the cooperative purchasing terms by checking "yes" on the agreement form and providing an authorized signature along with the firm name, bid invitation number, commodity type, signer's name, and title.
