Agenda Analysis
Analysis
This resolution accepts the terms of a cooperative purchasing master agreement for the purchase of mobile solar powered charging systems and related services for the Department of General Services. The original purchase agreement is between Beam Global and the United States General Services Administration. The anticipated project value is $1,000,000.
According to the cooperative purchase request, Beam Global provides mobile solar-powered charging stations and related services that would provide additional charging options for more Metro departments. It is unlikely that Metro would obtain better value through a competitive solicitation. The agreement is valid through October 31, 2025.
T.C.A. § 12-3-1201(c) and M.C.L. 4.12.090(b) allow the Metropolitan Government to purchase goods, supplies, services, and equipment under the provision of contracts or price agreements of open federal contracts. T.C.A. § 12-3-1205(b) further provides that local governments may participate in a master agreement by adopting a resolution accepting the terms of the master agreement.
Fiscal Note: According to the Cooperative Request Review form from the Division of Purchases, the anticipated project value is $1,000,000.
