A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
AZUSA WAIVING FORMAL SEALED BIDDING AND AWARDING
PURCHASE OF A TELECOMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM TO THE
AMERICAN TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY
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 upon finding that the public welfare would be promoted by dispensing with
them, and
WHEREAS, the City has an urgent need to purchase and install a new telecommunications system,
which is a very complex purchase that involved requests for proposals, a pre-bid conference, point -
by -point evaluations, site visits and detail negotiations, and
WHEREAS, by following this arduous approach, the City has clearly complied with the intent of
Section 2.68.0 10 of the Azusa Municipal Code, even though formal "sealed" bids were not specified,
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 new
telecommunications system 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 and installation of a new telecommunications system
shall be awarded to the American Telephone and Telegraph Company in the amount
of $528,562.00 plus applicable taxes, delivery charges and minor additions and
deletions that may arise in the course of the installation, and
Section 4. That the Mayor is authorized to sign the various documents that are
necessary to effectuate this procurement and installation.
