RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY
AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASING AGENT TO WAIVE
THE BID PROCESS AND ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT
WITH SOUTHWESTERN BELL INTERNET SERVICES
FOR INTERNET AND WEB HOSTING SERVICE
WHEREAS, the City is in need of acquiring a complete networking
package; and
WHEREAS, pricing research on Internet access and web hosting service
from several large Internet service providers concluded that Southwestern Bell Internet
Services' Online Office Starter Package offers the lowest price on a 3-year service
contract for a full range of service.
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 12.60.220(D) of the National City Municipal
Code, the Purchasing Agent may dispense with the requirements of the bidding process
when the City Council determines that due to special circumstances, it is to the City's best
interest to purchase a commodity or enter into a contract without compliance with the
bidding procedure.
WHEREAS, the City Council finds and determines that special circumstances
exist in the present case, for the following reasons:
1. Research has been conducted to consider various purchasing options, and the quote from
Southwestern Bell Internet Services offers the lowest cost to the City with the widest
range of services.
2. No further purpose would be served by rejecting Southwestern Bell Internet Services'
quotes and issuing a formal bid, since this pricing is lower than any available contract
pricing.
3. Time is of the essence as this project is the foundation of other technology projects.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City
of National City hereby authorizes the Purchasing Agent to waive the bidding process and
entered into a three-year agreement with Southwestern Bell Internet Services for Internet
access and web hosting service. Said Agreement is on file in the office of the City Clerk.
