RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY
AUTHORIZING THE CITY COUNCIL TO WAIVE THE FORMAL BID PROCESS
PURSUANT TO NATIONAL CITY MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 2.60.260
FOR THE COOPERATIVE PURCHASE OF ENTERPRISE SERVERS FROM
DELL, INC., FOR AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $100,480 BY UTILIZING
WESTERN STATES CONTRACTING ALLIANCE CONTRACT MNWNC-108
WHEREAS, the City of National City has two main Virtualization Enterprise servers
that provide the computing platforms that run the City's essential information systems
applications, e.g., Microsoft Exchange Email, Eden Financials, Vision Intranet, and Questys
Records Management; and
WHEREAS, the two servers are approaching support End of Life ("EOL"), which
makes it increasingly difficult to obtain software updates and spare parts when hardware and
software issues occur; and
WHEREAS, new Virtualization Enterprise servers would provide advanced
virtualization technologies to support the latest innovations in Data Center Infrastructure
management; and
WHEREAS, the City has the opportunity to purchase the servers at the best price
through a cooperative purchase utilizing Western States Contracting Alliance Contract MNWNC-
108; and
WHEREAS, Section 2.60.260 of the National City Municipal Code provides that
the City may buy directly from a vendor at a price established through competitive bidding by
another public agency whose procedures have been determined to be in substantial compliance
with the City's procurement procedures, and such a determination has been made in this case.
It is therefore recommended that the purchase be made from Dell, Inc., without complying with
the competitive bidding procedure set forth in the Municipal Code.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
National City hereby affirms the determination that the Western States Contracting Alliance's
procurement procedures are in substantial compliance with the City's procurement procedures,
and pursuant to Section 2.60.260 of the Municipal Code, waives the bidding process and
authorizes the cooperative purchase of the two Enterprise servers from Dell, Inc., for an amount
not to exceed $100,480 by utilizing Western States Contracting Alliance Contract MNWNC-108.
