Explanation
§ A cooperative purchasing agreement results from the consolidation and competitive solicitation of multiple public agency requirements. By aggregating common needs all agencies are able to leverage economies of scale, such as volume discounts, improved terms and conditions, reduced administrative costs, and access to professional and technical expertise that can be utilized on a local, regional, and national level.
§ The Aviation Concourse A Expansion project includes the construction of new gates, which are projected to be operational in early summer of 2018.
§ This contract will allow Aviation to purchase check-in counters, boarding podiums, and back wall units to be installed at the gates for airline use.
§ Evans Console Incorporated has a contract awarded through Houston-Galveston Area Council of Governments.
§ The estimated contract expenditure is $250,000.
