The Strategic Alliance for Volume Expenditures (S.A.V.E.) is a consortium of local government agencies throughout the State of Arizona. They have agreements that let member agencies use each other’s contracts. Each member includes cooperative language in their contracts, allowing other members to buy goods and services at the same prices and terms as the original contracting agency. Since Enterprise Automation is currently contracted by member cities of S.A.V.E., other Arizona agencies can accelerate their own procurement process for SCADA projects by leveraging these existing contracts.
