A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
AZUSA WAIVING FORMAL SEALED BIDDING AND AWARDING
PURCHASE OF A NETWORK APPLICATION SOFTWARE SITE
LICENSE TO THE WRQ COMPANY OF SEATTLE, WASHINGTON
WHEREAS, Section 2.68.020 of the Azusa Municipal Code requires City purchases over the
amount of $5,000 to be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder after notice, and
WHEREAS, Section 2.68.010 of the Azusa Municipal Code allows the City Council to waive
formal sealed bidding procedures upon finding that the public welfare would be promoted by
dispensing with them, and
WHEREAS, the City has an urgent need to purchase a network application software site license for
the installation and use of Reflections brand network software in the new data communications
network in the City Light and Water Department, which is a product that is "fair-traded", meaning
that the manufacturer has stipulated that its distributors cannot under -sell the factory, and
WHEREAS, by purchasing the software license directly from the factory, the City is assured of
receiving the lowest available price for this product, and
WHEREAS, by following this approach, the City has clearly complied with the intent of Section
2.68.010 of the Azusa Municipal Code, even though formal "sealed" bids have not been solicited,
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA DOES HEREBY
FIND AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. That formal "sealed" bids for the purchase and installation of a
"Reflections" network application software site license would be impracticable,
useless and uneconomical and that the public welfare would be promoted by
dispensing with them, and
Section 2. That the formal "sealed" bidding process is waived, and
Section 3. That the purchase of a site license for the installation and use of
Reflections brand network software in the new data communications network in the
