RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY
AUTHORIZING WAIVER OF THE FORMAL BIDDING PROCESS, AND
AWARDING A CONTRACT TO PROGRESSIVE SOLUTIONS, INC. FOR
LICENSE TRACK, PET TRACK, AND PERMIT TRACK SOFTWARE SYSTEMS
WHEREAS, the City's current software for business license, pet license and
permit tracking is limited in support, unreliable, inefficient, impedes the City's ability to collect
taxes and other revenues, and does not support web -based transactions; and
WHEREAS, staff from the Building, Finance, Fire, and M.I.S. Departments have
evaluated a software system provided by Progressive Solutions, Inc., and concluded that this
system would increase revenue generation, is the best system available, and is the only system
available to meet the City's unique requirements; and
WHEREAS, City staff recommends that the formal bidding requirement be
waived, and that Progressive Solutions, Inc. be awarded the contract for License Track, Pet
Track, and Permit Track software systems, in the amount of $87,900.00 for the following
reasons:
1. M.I.S. and Finance have worked with Progressive Solutions on the cashier
system project, and is comfortable with the quality of their work, their technical expertise, and
reliability. MIS also has first-hand knowledge of (and confidence in) Progressive Solution's
engineering service and support capabilities. Progressive Solutions has already integrated their
cashiering module with our financial system providing a benefit for the purchase of the
additional modules.
2. Since Progressive Solutions was involved in building the City's cashier
system, they understand the scope of work.
3. Progressive Solutions is familiar with M.I.S. and Finance's projects for the
City, and they understand the immediate and long-term needs and goals for software projects.
4. No further purpose would be served by issuing a formal bid at this point in
the process.; 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 of the City of
National City finds that special circumstances exist, and authorizes the waiver of the bidding
process, and awards a contract to Progressive Solutions, Inc. for the purchase of License Track,
Pet Track and Permit Track software systems in the amount of $87,900.00.
