Accounting Policies

FY 2026 Budget Book

GENERAL STATEMENT

The accounting policies of the City of Balch Springs is to conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) as applicable to state and local governments. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standards setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues, expenditures and expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates that are used. Significant policies of the City are described below.

MAJOR FUNDS

The City segregates transactions related to certain functions or activities in separate funds in order to aid financial management and to demonstrate legal compliance. Governmental Funds are those funds through which most governmental functions typically are financed. The measurement focus of Governmental Funds is on the sources, uses and balances of current financial resources.

General Fund – The General Fund is the main operating fund of the City. This fund is used to account for all financial resources not accounted for in other funds. All general tax revenues and other receipts that are not restricted by law or contractual agreement to some other fund are accounted for in this fund. General operating expenditures, fixed charges and capital improvement costs that are not paid through other funds are paid from the General Fund. Proprietary Funds are accounted for using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting.

Water, Wastewater Solid Waste Funds – These funds are used to account for the acquisition, operation and maintenance of municipal water, sewer utility and solid waste services, supported primarily by user charges to the public. Proprietary Funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services, and producing and delivering goods in connection with a Proprietary Fund’s principal ongoing operations. Operating expenses for the Proprietary Funds include the cost of personnel and contractual services, supplies and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses.

CLASSIFICATION OF FUND EQUITY

Fund balances are classified as nonspendable, restricted, committed, assigned or unassigned in governmental funds. Nonspendable fund balances cannot be spent, either because it is not in spendable form or because of legal or contractual requirements. Restricted fund balances have constraints for specific purposes which are externally imposed by providers, such as creditors, grantors or other governments; or by enabling legislation of the City Council. Committed fund balances can only be used for specific purposes pursuant to constraints imposed by the City Council through an ordinance or resolution. Assigned fund balances are constrained by intent to be used for

specific purposes, but are neither restricted nor committed. Assignments are made by City management based on Council direction. Unassigned fund balances include residual positive fund balances within the General Fund that had not been classified within the other mentioned categories. Unassigned fund balances may also include negative balances for any governmental fund if expenditures exceed amounts restricted, committed or assigned for those specific purposes.

The City designates restricted amounts to be spent first if both restricted and unrestricted fund balances are available unless there are legal documents/contracts that prohibit doing this, such as grant agreements requiring dollar for dollar spending. Additionally, the City would first use committed, followed by assigned, and lastly unassigned amounts when expenditures are incurred for purposes for which amounts in any of those unrestricted fund balance classifications could be used.

MEASUREMENT FOCUS

Measurement focus is the accounting convention, which determines which assets and liabilities are included on the balance sheet of a fund type and whether a fund type's operating statement presents “financial flow” or “capital maintenance” information per fund.

The government-wide statements and fund financial statements for Proprietary Funds are reported using the economic resources measurement focus, which means all assets and liabilities (whether current or noncurrent) are included on the statement of net position and the operating statements present increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in net total position.

Governmental Fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus, which means only current assets and current liabilities are generally included on their balance sheets.

The reported fund balance (net current position) is considered a measure of “available spendable resources.” Governmental Fund operating statements present increases (revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in net current position. Accordingly, they are said to present a summary of sources and uses of “available spendable resources” during a period.

Proprietary Funds are accounted for on a “net income and capital maintenance” measurement focus. This means that all assets, liabilities, equity, revenues, expenses and transfers relating to the activity of a Proprietary Fund are accounted for through the Proprietary Fund. The measurement focus is upon the determination of net income, financial position and cash flows.

BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures or expenses are recognized in the accounts, and reported in the financial statements. Basis of accounting relates to the timing of the measurements made, regardless of the measurement focus applied. The government-wide statements and fund financial statements for Proprietary Funds are accounted for using the accrual basis of accounting. Under the accrual basis, revenues are recognized when earned, including unbilled water and sewer services which are accrued. Expenses are recognized at the time the liability is incurred.

Governmental Fund financial statements are reported using the modified accrual basis for accounting. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when susceptible to accrual; i.e., when they become both measurable and available. “Measurable” means the amount of the transaction can be determined and “available” means collectible within the current period or soon enough, thereafter, to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the City considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Ad valorem, franchise and sales tax, and court fine revenues recorded in the General Fund are considered to be susceptible to accrual. Licenses and permits, charges for services (except for sanitation services), other fines and forfeits, and rents and concessions are recorded as revenues when received in cash because they are generally not measurable until actually received.

Investment earnings and intergovernmental revenue are recorded as earned since they are measurable and available.

Budget Policy

FY 2026 Budget Book

BUDGETS & BUDGETARY ACCOUNTING

The City adopts an “appropriated budget” of Governmental fund types on the modified accrual basis of accounting by department. The City is required to present the adopted and final amended budgeted revenues and expenditures. The City compares the final amended budget to actual revenues and expenditures. An operating budget for the General Fund is legally adopted each fiscal year. The budget is adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

The City generally follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial statements:

A proposed operating budget including proposed expenditures and the means of financing them is submitted to the City Council by the City Manager.

Upon receipt of the budget estimates, the City Council holds a first reading on the Budget Ordinance and Tax Roll Ordinance. Information about the Budget Ordinance is then published in the official newspaper of the City.

A public hearing on the budget is held.

Prior to October 1, the budget is legally enacted through passage of an ordinance. The legal level of budgetary control is at the fund level. The City Manager is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts between departments within any fund; however, any revisions that alter the total expenditures of any fund must be approved by the City Council. Budgetary control has been established at the detail level by line item activity for management control.

Departmental appropriations that have not been expended or encumbered by the departments at the end of the fiscal year will lapse.

The term “basis of accounting” is used to describe the timing of recognition, that is, when the effects of transactions or events should be recognized. The basis of accounting used for purposes of financial reporting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) is not necessarily the same basis used in preparing the budget document. The City of Balch Springs uses the budgetary basis of accounting when preparing capital outlays within proprietary funds. Also, items reported as “other financing sources” and “other financing uses” under the GAAP basis of accounting are instead classified in the budget as revenues and expenditures under the budgetary basis of accounting.

Charges for Services

The primary revenue-generating services for the City include water sales, sewer service charges, and solid waste fees. In 2024, the City engaged Wilden Financial Services to conduct a rate study and develop a proposed rate structure with the following goals:

Enable the utility to operate independently from the General Fund.

Ensure the utility remains financially stable and capable of funding both operations and capital needs.

Address anticipated cost increases for DWU purchases and other operating expenses.

Consultants, independent auditors, and city staff strongly recommended the adoption of the proposed rate increases to ensure long-term sustainability. On July 22, 2024, during the regular City Council meeting, councilmembers and the Mayor approved water and wastewater rate increases, effective October 1 in the years 2024, 2025, 2026, and 2027.

GENERAL INFORMATION: Tax Code Section 26.04(c) requires an officer or employee designated by the governing body to calculate the non-new-revenue (NNR) tax rate and voter-approval tax rate for the taxing unit. These tax rates are expressed in dollars per $100 of taxable value calculated. The calculation process starts after the chief appraiser delivers to the taxing unit the certified appraisal roll and the estimated values of properties under protest. The designated officer or employee shall certify that the officer or employee has accurately calculated the tax rates and used values shown for the certified appraisal roll or certified estimate. The officer or employee submits the rates to the governing body by Aug. 7 or as soon thereafter as practicable.

School districts do not use this form, but instead use Comptroller Form 50-859 Tax Rate Calculation Worksheet, School District without Chapter 313 Agreements or Comptroller Form 50-884 Tax Rate Calculation Worksheet, School District with Chapter 313 Agreements.

Water districts as defined under Water Code Section 49.001(1) do not use this form, but instead use Comptroller Form 50-858 Water District Voter-Approval Tax Rate Worksheet for Low Tax Rate and Developing Districts or Comptroller Form 50-860 Developed Water District Voter-Approval Tax Rate Worksheet.

The Comptroller's office provides this worksheet to assist taxing units in determining tax rates. The information provided in this worksheet is offered as technical assistance and not legal advice. Taxing units should consult legal counsel for interpretations of law regarding tax rate preparation and adoption.

SECTION 1: No-New-Revenue Tax Rate

The NNR tax rate enables the public to evaluate the relationship between taxes for the prior year and for the current year based on a tax rate that would produce the same amount of taxes (no new taxes) if applied to the same properties that are taxed in both years. When appraisal values increase, the NNR tax rate should decrease.

The NNR tax rate for a county is the sum of the NNR tax rates calculated for each type of tax the county levies.

While uncommon, it is possible for a taxing unit to provide an exemption for only maintenance and operations taxes. In this case, the taxing unit will need to calculate the NNR tax rate separately for the maintenance and operations tax and the debt tax, then add the two components together.

SECTION 2: Voter Approval Tax Rate

The voter-approval tax rate is the highest tax rate that a taxing unit may adopt without holding an election to seek voter approval of the rate. The voter-approval tax rate is split into two separate rates:

Maintenance and Operations (M&O) Tax Rate: The M&O portion is the tax rate that is needed to raise the same amount of taxes that the taxing unit levied in the prior year plus the applicable percentage allowed by law. This rate accounts for such things as salaries, utilities and day-to-day operations.

Debt Rate: The debt rate includes the debt service necessary to pay the taxing unit's debt payments in the coming year. This rate accounts for principal and interest on bonds and other debt secured by property tax revenue.

The voter-approval tax rate for a county is the sum of the voter-approval tax rates calculated for each type of tax the county levies. In most cases the voter-approval tax rate exceeds the no-new-revenue tax rate, but occasionally decreases in a taxing unit's debt service will cause the NNR tax rate to be higher than the voter-approval tax rate.

SECTION 3: NNR Tax Rate and Voter Approval Tax Rate Adjustments for Additional Sales Tax to Reduce Property Taxes

Cities, counties and hospital districts may levy a sales tax specifically to reduce property taxes. Local voters by election must approve imposing or abolishing the additional sales tax tax. If approved, the taxing unit must reduce its NNR and voter-approval tax rates to offset the expected sales tax revenue. This section should only be completed by a county, city or hospital district that is required to adjust its NNR tax rate and/or voter-approval tax rate because it adopted the additional sales tax.

SECTION 4: Voter Approval Tax Rate Adjustment for Pollution Control

A taxing unit may raise its rate for M&O funds used to pay for a facility, device or method for the control of air, water or land pollution. This includes any land, structure, building, installation, excavation, machinery, equipment or device that is used, constructed, acquired or installed wholly or partly to meet or exceed pollution control requirements. The taxing unit's expenses are those necessary to meet the requirements of a permit issued by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). The taxing unit must provide the tax assessor with a copy of the TCEQ letter of determination that states the portion of the cost of the installation for pollution control.

SECTION 5: Voter Approval Tax Rate Adjustment for Unused Increment Rate

The unused increment rate is the rate equal to the sum of the prior 3 years Foregone Revenue Amounts divided by the current taxable value.42 The Foregone Revenue Amount for each year is equal to that year's adopted tax rate subtracted from that year's voter-approval tax rate adjusted to remove the unused increment rate multiplied by that year's current total value.43

The difference between the adopted tax rate and adjusted voter-approval tax rate is considered zero in the following scenarios:

a tax year in which a taxing unit affected by a disaster declaration calculates the tax rate under Tax Code Section 26.042;44

a tax year in which the municipality is a defunding municipality, as defined by Tax Code Section 26.0501(a); 45 or

after Jan. 1, 2022, a tax year in which the comptroller determines that the county implemented a budget reduction or reallocation described by Local Government Code Section 120.002(a) without the required voter approval.46

SECTION 7: Voter Approval Tax Rate Adjustment for Emergency Revenue Rate

In the tax year after the end of the disaster calculation time period detailed in Tax Code Section 26.042(a), a taxing unit that calculated its voter-approval tax rate in the manner provided for a special taxing unit due to a disaster must calculate its emergency revenue rate and reduce its voter-approval tax rate for that year.50

Similarly, if a taxing unit adopted a tax rate that exceeded its voter-approval tax rate, calculated normally, without holding an election to respond to a disaster, as allowed by Tax Code Section 26.042(d), in the prior year, it must also reduce its voter-approval tax rate for the current tax year.51

This section will apply to a taxing unit other than a special taxing unit that:

directed the designated officer or employee to calculate the voter-approval tax rate of the taxing unit in the manner provided for a special taxing unit in the prior year; and

the current year is the first tax year in which the total taxable value of property taxable by the taxing unit as shown on the appraisal roll for the taxing unit submitted by the assessor for the taxing unit to the governing body exceeds the total taxable value of property taxable by the taxing unit on January 1 of the tax year in which the disaster occurred or the disaster occurred four years ago. This section will apply to a taxing unit in a disaster area that adopted a tax rate greater than its voter-approval tax rate without holding an election in the prior year.

Note: This section does not apply if a taxing unit is continuing to calculate its voter-approval tax rate in the manner provided for a special taxing unit because it is still within the disaster calculation time period detailed in Tax Code Section 26.042(a) because it has not met the conditions in Tax Code Section 26.042(a)(1) or (2).

MISSION STATEMENT

To provide the best service possible to all City departments, procure the highest quality products at the lowest possible price, and to ensure an atmosphere of equality to all vendors without influence or political pressure.

INTRODUCTION

The Purchasing Division is responsible for overseeing the purchase of all goods and services. The City operates as a centralized purchasing body.

The goal of the Purchasing Agent is to provide assistance to departments within the City for securing materials and services in the most efficient and economical manner. The goal is achievable through mutual cooperation with each City department, adequate planning and teamwork by all departments.

Each City employee responsible for the procurement of materials/services must be familiar with purchasing procedures and adhere to the procedures to obtain the best results. Proper understanding of City policy and procedure will save the City time and money.

COMPLIANCE WITH POLICY

Standard Practice

The City of Balch Springs procurement process must allow vendors/contractors to compete for business on a fair, equal and transparent basis. Staff associated with the procurement function, therefore are responsible for protecting the integrity of the procurement process and maintaining fairness in the treatment of all vendors/contractors.

The standard of conduct for all staff involved in procurement is to safeguard against conflicts of interest which may compromise the integrity and objectivity of the City of Balch Springs.

During the pre-solicitation phase, staff must not allow vendors/contractors access to information, whether technical, financial or any other nature before such information is available at large.

Further staff may not use unnecessary restrictive specifications, statements of work or terms of reference that may discourage competition;

SECTION 6: Emergency Purchases NUMBER: 06-02

APPROVED BY: POLICY DATE: REVISED DATE:

Page 204 Download HTML

EMERGENCY PURCHASES §252.022

An emergency condition creates an immediate and serious need for materials, services, or construction that cannot be met through normal procurement methods and that seriously threatens the functioning of the City or the protection of property or the health or safety of any person.

Emergency purchases are for critical, unforeseen government need. Because the City's ability to serve the public would be impaired if purchases are not made immediately, emergency purchases are exempt from standard purchasing procedures.

True emergencies almost always occur as a result of parts and labor needed for unforeseen repairs to equipment that must be kept operational. When an emergency occurs, the need for quotes will be eliminated. However, written explanation must be indicated on the Statement of Compliance for Irregular Purchases.

If the product or services is over $2,500 and under $70,000, obtain the City Manager's authorization. Once authorization has been received, submit a requisition to Purchasing and obtain a purchase order, call the vendor to initiate repair services or order the needed materials. Immediately or as soon as feasible, submit a copy of the invoice, delivery ticket and the irregular purchase form.

In the event the emergency exceeds $70,000, follow the same procedures outlined in item 1 above prepare an agenda item and resolution to Council prior to payment for the products or services purchased.

In extreme cases involving a disaster, an emergency declaration will be made by the Mayor. All purchases must be documented through proper State & Federal forms and emergency purchase orders issued.

Emergency purchase orders are maintained at City Hall and at the EOC.

An emergency created through neglect will not be processed as an emergency.

Typical examples are:

Depletion of stock due to lack of planning.

Building or equipment needing repairs for some time, suddenly becoming an emergency overnight.

Orders of materials for projects most of which must be planned weeks or months ahead of time, and requested just before desired use.

SECTION 7: Sole Source Purchases NUMBER: 06-02

SOLE SOURCE PURCHASES

APPROVED BY: POLICY DATE: REVISED DATE:

Page 205 Download HTML

PURCHASING POLICY

Sole source purchases are goods and services available from only one supplier. There may be one vendor because of patents, copyrights or simply because the vendor is the only one which supplies the good or service.

Example: Patented products, monopolized items, books, captive replacement part or component for equipment, and software with exclusive distribution rights. Items that are only available from one manufacturer are not a sole source, if the items can be purchased from distributors.

The City is responsible for obtaining and retaining documentation from the vendor that clearly states the reasons the purchase must be made on a “sole source” basis.

All sole source purchases require written justification in the form of an affidavit which must be completed by the vendor and notarized. This form must be submitted and approved by the Purchasing Agent prior to the purchase being made.

Be sure that the function the user department is asking for is a "need and not a "want". For example, only one vendor sells equipment with the special function. Other vendors have a similar function but not exactly the same. Ask the question, do we need the specific function and why would a similar function not work.

Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source Procurement

All purchases in excess of $70,000 shall be made in conjunction with the Purchasing Agent who will post a Notice of Intent to purchase a sole source item in the e-pro system.

SECTION 8: Capital / Fixed Asset Purchases

PURCHASING POLICY

Government Code, Chapter 791 and Local Government Code, Chapter 271 authorizes the use of cooperative purchasing programs. The Chapters authorize the City to use ("piggyback") on another entity's bid or to use a cooperative contract from an established cooperative agency.

Competitive bidding allows vendors to compete with each other to provide goods and/or services to the City. This process serves two purposes.

The first is to ensure that public monies are spent properly, legally, and that the best possible value is received for the money. The second is to give qualified and responsible vendors who desire to do business with the City a fair and equitable opportunity to do so. The use of a standard bidding procedure gives the public assurance that their monies are properly safeguarded.

Competitive bidding can be accomplished in two ways, formal or informal.

DEFINITIONS

Invitation to quote (ITQ) is an informal or formal process used to purchase items over $2,500 and less than $70,000.

Invitation to bid (ITB) is a formal process used to purchase goods and services over $70,000.

Request for Information (RFI) is a formal process in which information is requested from vendors prior to a bid or proposal to assist in writing specifications.

Request for Qualifications (RFQ) is a formal process used to select a vendor to perform a professional service.

Request for Proposal (RFP) is a formal process used to purchase a good or service with specific criteria set that is used to evaluate the submittal.

Specification is a set of criteria used by vendors to submit pricing, information, or qualifications.

Professional services is defined by AG Opinion MW 344 as "services rendered by a person or firm that requires years of education and service for one to attain competence and which calls for a high order of intelligence, skill and learning" (mental or intellectual skills, rather than physical or manual). (Opinion MW 344 and DM 347)

A professional is a member of a discipline with widely accepted standards of required study or specified attainments in special knowledge as distinguished from mere skill.

Personal Service is defined as a service that is performed by an individual.

A contract is for a personal service if a specific individual person is required to perform the service. The service must be performed by the individual named in the contract. (Attorney General JM-890 and JM 486)

Planning services means services primarily intended to guide governmental policy to ensure the orderly and coordinated development of the municipality 252.001 (5)

DETERMINING THE PROCUREMENT METHOD

It is important to determine the procurement method as it will be a major factor in the planning process. For example, the procurement lead time for an Invitation for Bid and a Request for Proposal differ significantly.

Invitation to Bid (ITB) - The ITB uses the competitive sealed bid method. This method is used when the requirements are clearly defined, negotiations are not necessary and price is the major determining factor for selection. Best value considerations can also be used with the ITB method.

Request for Information (RFI) - Requests for Information are used primarily as a planning tool. The RFI is an optional method that may be used to gather information in order to prepare a complete and accurate solicitation document when an agency does not have the necessary information to prepare a

APPROVED BY: POLICY DATE: REVISED DATE:

Page 210 Download HTML

complete and accurate solicitation document. RFIs are used to identify industry standards, best practices, potential performance measures, and cost or price structures or to generally ascertain the level of interest of prospective respondents. A preliminary solicitation document which provides an initial description of the program objectives and specifications usually accompanies an RFI for review by potential respondents. Agencies may use the information derived from the responses to finalize their solicitation document. Agencies are not required to incorporate any or all of the comments or suggestions made by the contractor, but the hope is that the contractor will provide useful information in the RFP development process.

Request for Proposal (RFP) – Used when competitive sealed bidding is not practicable or advantageous. Generally this is when factors other than price are to be considered or when objective criteria cannot be defined. One of the key differences between an ITB and an RFP is that negotiations are allowed in an RFP. Discussions are allowed with the respondents and best and final offers are solicited.

Request for Qualifications (RFQ) – Generally used for Professional Services wherein the respondents are evaluated based solely on their qualifications. Price is not considered until after selection is made by the agency based on qualifications. Professional Services are covered under Texas Government Code, Section 225.

PRE-BID/PROPOSAL MEETINGS:

A pre-bid meeting is generally held for bids and proposals that are requesting a service or that may be controversial. The meeting allows staff to review the specifications with potential vendors at one time and provides vendors the opportunity to ask questions or attend a site preview.

The meeting may be mandatory or non-mandatory and must be specified in the bid documents. The meeting may be part of the best value criteria.

SPECIFICATION

A specification is an accurate description of the material or equipment to be purchased. All specifications shall be clear, definite, and shall permit competitive bidding except for those items that may be noncompetitive due to patent or distribution rights. The using department, with the advice of the Purchasing Agent, has the primary responsibility for drafting or revising specifications.

A good specification should be:

Simple – details are specific enough that a loophole will not allow a bidder to evade any of the provisions and take advantage of the City.

Identifiable – a comparison with a brand or specification already on the market, in order to avoid confusion. Care should be used, however, to ensure that the specification does not arbitrarily exclude other viable products.

Verifiable -.a description of the verification is included to ensure the specification has been met.

Capable – allows responses from multiple bidders.

Clear and consistent- Inconsistent and unclear specifications lead to misunderstandings, which can be costly in price and time.

Flexible - allows the City to take advantage of new or green products when feasible.

Defensible - Arbitrary specifications (need versus want) that do not have a valid business purpose should be avoided.

REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS (RFQ)

The request for qualifications (RFQ) is the process used to hire a professional service. The following services are defined by statute professional.

Accounting Real Estate Appraising Engineer Architect Optometry Medical Professionals Professional Nursing

Chapter 252.022 (a)(4) provides exemptions to procurement for personal, professional or planning services. Chapter 271 provides guidance for selecting these services and should be followed.

Municipalities may procure services through a competitive process even if such services qualify for an exemption under Local Government Code section 252.022. (Attorney General SM 106)

A government entity may not select a provider of professional services or a group or association of providers or award a contract for these services on the basis of competitive bids, but shall make the selection and award based on the following:

Demonstrated competence and qualifications to perform the services; and

Fair and reasonable price;

If considerations are equal, preference shall be given to a consultant whose whole principal place of business is in the state or who will manage the contract wholly from an office in the state.

The professional fees under said contract must be consistent with and not higher than the recommended practices and fees published by the applicable professional associations; and may not exceed any maximum provided by law.

The request for qualification process is similar to the sealed bid process except it is used to obtain vendor information that is used to evaluate the vendor's ability to provide service. The process is not used to obtain pricing, but rather in obtaining information regarding vendor availability and experience or when seeking highly technical information.

This process must be used when securing engineering or architectural services per Texas Statute 2254.004.

Qualifications are treated differently than a bid in that there are additional steps that have to be completed before the proposals are ready for final consideration and approval. Qualifications are received publicly, but not open for inspection. Proposals/qualifications are evaluated individually according to the evaluation criteria set in the specifications, and then initially ranked. A group of three to five finalists are selected from the ranking and then interviewed. Once a top candidate is selected, a scope of service and fee schedule is requested. Both items are negotiable.

Purchasing must be included in all aspects of the evaluation process; including review and interviews. Purchasing will assist with the agenda recommendation and will process the contract.

Work may not be started until a Notice to Proceed is received by the vendor and staff has received notification that the contract can be started by Purchasing.

Discussions in accordance with the terms of a request for proposals and with regulations adopted by the governing body of the municipality may be conducted with Offeror's who submit proposals and who are determined to be reasonably qualified for the award of the contract. Offeror's shall be treated fairly and equally with respect to any opportunity for discussion and revision of proposals. To obtain the best final offers, revisions may be permitted after submissions and before the award of the contract.

Proposals are treated differently than a bid in that there are additional steps that have to be completed before the proposals are ready for final consideration and approval.

INTRODUCTION

The Purchasing Card (P-Card) is a credit card that can be used for small purchases and travel related expenses. It is a fast and flexible tool which offers an alternative to the existing purchasing processes and provides an extremely efficient and effective method for purchasing and paying of small dollar items with a total value of $2,000 or less per transaction. Dollar limits are programmed on an individual basis as set and approved by the Department Director.

The card works just like your personal credit card, except all charges are paid in full by the City of Balch Springs. It is to be used only for the purchase of small dollar items. City of Balch Springs spending limits are set per individual at the request of the Department Director. Single transaction limits may not exceed $2000.

CHOOSING A PROCUREMENT METHOD

Procurement Method	Use When	Advantages	Disadvantages
Invitation to Bid	Lots of competition exists. The product or service is available from more than one source.	Award process is simpler. Award is made to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder providing the best value to the State.	Defined specifications may be difficult to develop. Does not encourage innovative solutions
Request for Proposal	When factors other than price are evaluated. When negotiations are desired. Vendor is expected to provide innovative ideas.	Allows factors other than price to be considered. Allows for customized proposals suggesting different approaches to the same business need. Allows for negotiations in order to obtain the best value for the state.	Lead times for procurement are much greater. Evaluations are more complex and subjective.
Request for Information	There is insufficient information to write specifications for any procurement method	Provides information to prepare a complete bid or proposal document. Allows the business community to have input into the agency’s solicitation document based on current industry practices and market factors. Informs agency of any potential problems early in the procurement.
Request for Qualifications	Selection is made solely on the skills and qualifications of the contractor. Price is not a factor until after a vendor is selected.	Emphasizes the competency of the proposed contractors.	Contractor is selected before price is negotiated.
