Attachment 3 - Cooperative Purchasing Vendor Agreement.docx

This document is a Cooperative Purchasing Vendor Agreement for Welding and Fabrication Services issued by Multnomah County, Oregon, which allows other public agencies to potentially establish contracts or price agreements using the terms, conditions, and prices of the original solicitation (ITB-27-2025). The agreement, governed by Oregon Revised Statute 279A.215 and Multnomah County's Public Contracting Review Board procurement rules, provides a mechanism for vendors to optionally extend their pricing and terms to additional public agencies beyond the original contract.

The cooperative purchasing agreement gives vendors the discretion to choose whether they will extend their pricing to other public agencies by completing a simple YES/NO selection on the form. Importantly, the document clarifies that any purchases made by participating public agencies would be directly between the contractor and those agencies, and would not impact the contractor's primary obligations to Multnomah County. The county also explicitly notes that any estimated purchase volumes do not include other public agencies' potential participation, and makes no guarantees about other agencies' involvement in the contract.
