WHEREAS, on September 9, 2008, the City of National City was awarded a
$132,000 State of California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) Grant for the purchase of flashing
beacons, trailer -mounted vehicle speed feedback signs, and a GIS-based traffic collision

Engineering Departments, improve traffic records management, and allow for enhanced
analysis of traffic collision locations, factors, and types to improve safety; and
WHEREAS, research indicates that Crossroads Software, Inc., is the only vendor
in the State of California that provides GIS-based traffic collision database systems, and the
only system designed specifically for use in California; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 12.60.220(B) of the National City Municipal

the commodity can be obtained by only one source. Sole source procurements may be used
when there is only one source from which a particular commodity is available and there is no
adequate substitute. Sole source procurement may also be used when it is clear that
competitive bidding will not produce any competitive advantage or would be impractical or not
meet an urgent city procurement need.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
National City hereby waives the bid process, and authorizes a sole source purchase of a GIS-
based traffic collision database system from Crossroads Software, Inc., in the amount of
