Pursuant to Section 791.012, the parties hereby agree that the laws of the particular entity making the particular purchase shall apply to the purchase, unless the law of the other entity is more strict and would prohibit the purchase being made in such a manner. In such a case, as for instance where the required bid amount differs between the parties, the purchase shall be made in conformance with the most stringent applicable regulation. ARTICLE III WHOLE AGREEMENT The Interlocal Agreement and Attachments, as provided herein, constitutes the complete agreement between the parties hereto, and supersedes any and all oral and written agreements between the parties relating to the matters contained herein. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement cannot be modified without the written consent of the parties. ARTICLE IV PERFORMANCE PERIOD The period of this Interlocal Agreement shall be for the balance of the fiscal year of CITY, which began on October 1, 2000, and ends on September 30, 2001. This agreement shall thereafter automatically be renewed annually for each succeeding fiscal year of CITY, provided that such renewal shall not have the effect of extending the period in which any party shall make payments beyond the fiscal year in which the party incurred such obligation. Interlocal Agreement Lubbock County Hospital District—Page 2 ARTICLE V SCOPE OF SERVICES CITY and DISTRICT hereby agree to jointly engage in the purchase of such certain items or services as are used by both governmental entities and as may be jointly agreed upon by the purchasing officers of both parties. Neither party shall be required to use joint purchasing procedures for any purchase, either as lead purchasing agent or as receiving purchasing agent, if the purchasing officer of such party deems it no to be in the best interest of his governmental entity to engage in joint purchasing for such purchase. As a general rule, the governmental entity that uses the most of a particular commodity or service shall be the lead agent in making a joint purchase. The lead agent shall insure that the purchase complies with the most stringent requirements for the particular purchase to be found in the Education Code, the Local Government Code or other applicable law. The materials and services shall be ordered by means of mutually agreeable purchase order forms and purchases by the lead purchasing agent shall be in quantities sufficient to satisfy the request of both parties. Ownership (title) of materials purchased shall transfer directly from the vendor to the applicable party. Purchase of materials or services involving special contracts or warranties shall require each party to execute individual contracts with the vendor for its part of the joint purchase. ARTICLE VI PAYMENTS Interlocal Agreement Lubbock County Hospital District—Page 3 Each party to this agreement ordinarily shall be responsible for payment of its portion of the proportionate purchase costs directly to the vendor. To the extent that any payments may be required to be made to one another as a matter of convenience, such payments shall be made from current funds available to the paying party on or before the date of the delivery of any materials or services under this Agreement. ARTICLE VII CHANGES AND AMENDMENTS Any alterations, additions, or deletions to the terms of this Agreement which are required by changes in Federal or State law or regulations are automatically incorporated into this Agreement without written amendment hereto, and shall become effective on the date designated by such law or regulation. ARTICLE VIII TERMINATION PROCEDURES Either DISTRICT or CITY may cancel or terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days written notice by certified mail to the other party. The obligations of each party, including any obligation to pay the other party for costs incurred under this Agreement prior to receipt of such notice shall survive such cancellation, as well as any other obligation under this Agreement until performed or discharged by the responsible party. In the event of such termination prior to completion of any purchases provided for herein, the receiving party agrees to pay either the vendor or the lead agent, whichever is appropriate, for such materials or services. Termination under this section shall have the effect of ending future joint purchases, but it shall in no way render the obligations of a party to a vendor or the other party on existing purchases void or ineffective.
