Consider action on a resolution authorizing Town membership in the Texas Smart Buy purchasing cooperative.
BACKGROUND:
Texas Smart Buy is a purchasing cooperative initiated by the State of Texas. The contracts offered through this cooperative have gone through the procurement process and the contracts have been awarded to qualified vendors. As a member of Texas Smart Buy, the Town of Addison will have access to hundreds of competitively bid state contracts. Joining does not create a purchasing obligation or liability and having the ability to use the cooperative will create procurement efficiencies by streamlining the purchase process, saving both time and money.
