RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY
AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASING AGENT TO
WAIVE THE BID PROCESS AND AWARD A CONTRACT
FOR MOBILE COMMUNICATION SERVICES WITH
VERIZON WIRELESS THROUGH MOBILE DATACOM
WHEREAS, the mobile communication needs of the City are constantly
evaluated; and
WHEREAS, Verizon Wireless services available through Mobile DataCom
provides the level of service that is most suitable for the City because it offers one of the
biggest, most extensive service coverage areas, the price plan is very competitive with
a larger minute pool and much lower overage minute cost, includes "in -network" calls,
and will provide new LG VX3200 phones at no cost after a $50 rebate per phone; and
WHEREAS, because the $50 rebate offer expires on June 30, 2004, a
Letter of Intent was issued to Mobile DataCom, pending City Council approval, to take
advantage of the rebate offer, which is a savings of approximately $2,500; and
WHEREAS, it is in the City's best interest to waive the formal bid process
pursuant to Section 12.60.220(D) of the National City Municipal Code, which allows the
Purchasing Agent to dispense with the requirements of the bidding process when the City
Council determines that due to special circumstances, it is to 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 hereby finds that special circumstances exist and authorizes the
Purchasing Agent to waive the bidding process, and awards the contract for mobile
communications services to Verizon Wireless through Mobile DataCom.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of National
City hereby authorizes the Mayor to execute on behalf of the City a contract between
Mobile DataCom and the City of National City for mobile communications services. Said
contract is on file in the office of the City Clerk.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 6th day of July, 2004.
