RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY
WAIVING THE BIDDING PROCESS AND ACCEPTING
A PROPOSAL IN THE AMOUNT OF $217,375 FROM
AMERICAN HYDRO -VAC EQUIPMENT COMPANY FOR THE
PURCHASE OF A REPLACEMENT SEWER FLUSHER TRUCK
WHEREAS, on November 21, 2006, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2006-
236 authorizing an intrabudget adjustment in the amount of $217,380 for the purchase of a new
sewer flusher truck; and
WHEREAS, as of January 1, 2007, California emissions standards are changing,
which will make our current flushing truck obsolete; and
WHEREAS, research conducted by staff indicates that the best and most cost
effective way to obtain a flusher truck by January 1, 2007 that would meet the new California
emissions standards is to purchase a demo unit and trade in the City's old truck for a total cost of
$217,375, which is $30,874 less than buying a new one that would take at least six months to
deliver; and
WHEREAS, Section 2.60.220 D of the National City Municipal Code provides that
the requirements of formal bidding may be disposed with when the City Council determines by
best business judgment that due to special circumstances, it is in the City's best interest to
purchase a commodity directly 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 hereby finds that special circumstances exist, and authorizes the Purchasing
Agent to waive the bidding process and accept a proposal in the amount of $217,375 from
American Hydro -Vac Equipment Company for the purchase of replacement sewer flusher truck.
PASSED and ADOPTED this 5th day of December 006.
