RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY
AUTHORIZING WAIVER OF THE BIDDING PROCESS FOR THE PURCHASE OF
A STEEL BUILDING FOR THE CHRISTMAS IN JULY WAREHOUSE FROM
EMPIRE STEEL BUILDINGS, USING $100,000 IN STATE GRANT FUNDS
WHEREAS, in June 2003 the City was awarded a grant to purchase capital
equipment for code enforcement activities. One of the requests for funds that the Building and
Safety Department made was for $100,000 for the purchase of a steel building for a warehouse
that will then be available for lease to Christmas in July; and
WHEREAS, the Building and Safety Department received bids from three different
companies; however, only the bid from Empire Steel Buildings was fully responsive; and
WHEREAS, Empire Steel Buildings is a local company with good references and
will be available for technical advise which will be critical since the building will be erected with
volunteer labor; and
WHEREAS, it is in the City's best interest to waive the formal bid process, and
place the order with Empire Steel Buildings since it is critical to purchase the building as soon
as possible. The grant funds will have to be returned to the State if the money is not used by
September 31, 2006. This time period includes purchasing the building, delivery time,
installation finishing the interior; and
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 in the City's best interest to
purchase a commodity or enter into a contract without compliance with the bidding procedure.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council finds that special
circumstances exist, and authorizes the waiver of the bidding process for the purchase of a
steel building from Empire Steel Buildings.
PASSED and ADOPTED this 4th day of April, 2006.
