A. 
On      under (Contract Award Notice), the City of Tempe entered into a contract with 
Contractor to purchase the goods and services described in the Contract Award Notice and 
RFP (21-083)(“Cooperative Purchasing Agreement”), which is attached hereto as Exhibit A.  
The Cooperative Purchasing Agreement permits its cooperative use by other governmental 
agencies including the City.  
 
B. 
Section 2-149 of the City’s Procurement Code permits the Materials Manager to procure goods 
and services by participating with other governmental units in cooperative purchasing 
agreements when the best interests of the City would be served.  
 
C. 
Section 2-149 also provides that the Materials Manager may enter into such cooperative 
agreements without meeting the formal or informal solicitation and bid requirements of 
Glendale City Code Sections 2-145 and 2-146.  
 
D. 
The City desires to contract with Contractor for supplies or services identical, or nearly 
identical, to the supplies or services Contractor is providing other units of government under 
the Cooperative Purchasing Agreement.  Contractor consents to the City’s utilization of the 
Cooperative Purchasing Agreement as the basis of this Agreement, and Contractor desires to 
enter into this Agreement to provide the supplies and services set forth in this Agreement.
