AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASING OFFICER TO SOLICIT
WRITTEN QUOTES ON A TURN -AROUND BASIS AND TO
ACCEPT THE MOST FAVORABLE TO THE CITY
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

upcoming projects such as the Mirador Homes, Azusa Homes and the 600 North Cerritos Avenue
development, and
WHEREAS, the price of copper fluctuates rapidly in the open market, generally causing Price
increases for copper products such as cable, and
WHEREAS, by soliciting written quotes on a turn -around basis from its list of known suppliers, and

"sealed" bids have not been solicited.

FIND AS FOLLOWS:

a turn -around basis from his list of known suppliers, and
