The City Council of the City of Anacortes, Washington, finds that the <br /> purchase of this Z45 Boom Lift clearly limits the City of Anacortes to a single <br /> source of supply and special market conditions, justifying the waiver of <br /> competitive bidding requirements. <br /> Section 2. The City Council of the City of Anacortes, Washington, hereby <br /> waives the bidding requirements for the purchase of this Z45 Boom Lift for use <br /> by the City of Anacortes Fiber Department and authorizes sole source purchasing <br /> from Birch Equipment. <br /> Section 3.
