FOR MOBILE COMMUNICATION SERVICES WITH
VERIZON WIRELESS THROUGH MOBILE DATACOM
WHEREAS, the mobile communication needs of the City are constantly
evaluated; and
WHEREAS, Verizon Wireless services available through Mobile DataCom
provides the level of service that is most suitable for the City because it offers one of the

a larger minute pool and much lower overage minute cost, includes "in -network" calls,
and will provide new LG VX3200 phones at no cost after a $50 rebate per phone; and
WHEREAS, because the $50 rebate offer expires on June 30, 2004, a
Letter of Intent was issued to Mobile DataCom, pending City Council approval, to take
advantage of the rebate offer, which is a savings of approximately $2,500; and
WHEREAS, it is in the City's best interest to waive the formal bid process
pursuant to Section 12.60.220(D) of the National City Municipal Code, which allows the

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.
