RESOLUTION NO. 97—C40
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA WAIVING
FORMAL SEALED BIDDING AND AWARDING A CONTRACT FOR
TELECOMMUNICATIONS AND NETWORK CABLING TO LUCENT
TECHNOLOGIES AND ANIXTER.
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 2.68.0 10 of the Azusa Municipal Code requires 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 a need to upgrade its telecommunications and network infrastructure in the City Hall
facility which is essential and critical to the City's operations, and
WHEREAS, Lucent Technologies has performed wiring in multiple City buildings including the conversion in
1995 of the City's telephone system, and
WHEREAS, Anixter is an official supplier to Lucent Technologies and has consistently provided AT&T
certified products at competitive prices directly to the City, and
WHEREAS, both vendors are covered under the State of California Multiple Awards Schedule which allows
local agencies to waive formal bidding,
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA DOES HEREBY FIND AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1. That conducting a formal "sealed" bidding process for the purchase and installation
of a Telecommunications and Network Structured Cabling System for the Azusa City Hall
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 Telecommunications and Network Structured
Cabling System shall be awarded to Lucent Technologies for installation in the amount of
$34,100 and that supplies will be provided under an open purchase order with Anixter in an
amount not to exceed $14,500 to cover minor additions and deletions that may arise in the
course of the installation, and
Section 4. That the Purchasing Officer is authorized to sign the various documents that are
necessary to effectuate the procurement and installation.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 7TH DAY OF APRIL, 1997.
