3.18 Interlocal Cooperation Act

It is the intent of GPISD to allow other governmental entities, including other school districts, to “piggyback” onto any existing contract between GPISD and Vendor entered into pursuant to this CSP. Vendor expressly agrees that GPISD may disclose Vendor’s response, including, but not limited to, pricing information, to other governmental entities. Accordingly, as permitted under the Interlocal Cooperation Act, Chapter 791 of the Texas Government Code, and Chapter 271, Subchapter F of the Texas Local Government Code, other governmental entities that have entered into an Interlocal Agreement with GPISD are authorized to enter into separate and independent contracts with Vendor that employ the same negotiated terms and conditions contained in an existing contract(s) between GPISD and Vendor. Any such separate, independent contract developed as a result of this procurement solicitation and/or the Agreement is exclusively between such other governmental entity and Vendor and shall have no effect or impact on GPISD or GPISD’s contract with Vendor. It is expressly understood that GPISD shall in no way be liable for the obligations of any other governmental entity contracting with Vendor pursuant to this section.

9 Interlocal Agreements with other School Districts through the Central Texas Purchasing Alliance

Interlocal Agreements with other School Districts through the Central Texas Purchasing Alliance A. Membership. Galena Park ISD is a member in good standing of the Central Texas Purchasing Alliance (CTPA / txctpa.org), an alliance of over 120 public school districts in Texas representing over a million students, sharing information, services and contractual opportunities. CTPA is an alliance created in accordance with Section 791.001 of the Texas Government Code through interlocal agreements.

B. Adoption of Awarded Contracts. In support of this collaborative effort, all awards made by Galena Park ISD may be adopted by other active CTPA member districts. By adopting a contract from another CTPA member district, the adopting district has met the competitive bidding requirements established by the Texas Education Code, Section 44.031(a)(4) and as required by the adopting district’s policies. There is no obligation on either the awarded vendor or the adopting CTPA member district to participate unless both parties agree. Upon mutual agreement of both parties to engage under the terms of the original contract, the vendor agrees to provide the contracted goods and services at the same or better contract pricing and purchasing terms established by the originating district. Minor modifications to the scope of work of the original contract may be allowed to accommodate the adopting district’s needs, as long as such modifications are directly related in nature to the original contract.

C. Document Sharing between Members. To assist an adopting member district in establishing their supporting documentation, the awarded vendor’s response and related documents owned by the originating district may be shared without prior notification to the awarded vendor, unless the vendor at the time of their response to the original solicitation clearly annotates that such sharing of their response is to not occur without prior permission of the vendor.

D. Adopted Contract Management. The adopting district shall be responsible for the management of the new contract and all payments to the contracted vendor. The originating district shall have no responsibilities under the new contract agreement. Upon adoption of the contract by the adopting CTPA member district, the original term of the contract and any renewal or extension options allowed under the original contract shall then transfer to the adopted contract, and such renewals options may be executed by the adopting member district at its sole discretion and independently of the originating member district’s decision to execute such renewal options on the original contract.

I understand the requirements (Optional: Check if applicable)
