Approve the Mayor to enter into an Interlocal Agreement for Cooperative purchasing services with Purchasing Cooperative of America (PCA) cooperative purchasing program.

The purpose of this Agreement is to support public entities by facilitating their purchasing operations through cooperative contracting and to promote real savings for Purchasing Cooperative of America (PCA) Members with discounts resulting from the competitive bid process.  Eligible public entities may use all PCA contracts awarded to a Vendor.  Entities eligible for PCA membership include local, state, and federal governmental agencies, Indian tribal governments; educational institutions K-12 through University.  There is no fee to the PCA Member to join or use PCA contracts.

It is my recommendation to approve a Resolution authorizing the Mayor to enter an Interlocal Agreement for Cooperative Purchasing Services with Purchasing Cooperative of America (PCA).
