A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANACORTES,
WASHINGTON, authorizing the purchase of a Z45 Boom Lift for the City's Fiber
Department from Birch Equipment, and waiving the competitive bidding
requirement due to a sole source purchase and special market conditions, pursuant
to RCW 39.04.280.
WHEREAS, RCW 39.04.280 provides that the City, by resolution, may waive
competitive bidding requirements when a purchase is clearly and legitimately limited to
a single source of supply, or when the purchase involves special facilities or market
conditions.
WHEREAS, the City of Anacortes Fiber Department is in need of a boom lift to
perform fiber installations; and
WHEREAS, the Fiber Department has been renting a Z45 Boom Lift from Birch
Equipment for over three thousand dollars a month; and
WHEREAS, the estimated price for a brand new boom lift is $75,000.00; and
WHEREAS, Birch Equipment is selling the used Z45 Boom Lift for a cost of
$21,694.57; and
WHEREAS, Birch Equipment indicated that this deal was only available for a
short period of time and would be sold to the first purchaser; and
WHEREAS, the Public Works Director believes the price for this used Z45
Boom Lift is a highly favorable price and would be sold to another party before the City
has the time to comply with formal bidding requirements; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Anacortes, Washington, as follows:
Section 1. The City Council of the City of Anacortes, Washington, finds that the
purchase of this Z45 Boom Lift clearly limits the City of Anacortes to a single
source of supply and special market conditions, justifying the waiver of
competitive bidding requirements.
Section 2. The City Council of the City of Anacortes, Washington, hereby
waives the bidding requirements for the purchase of this Z45 Boom Lift for use
by the City of Anacortes Fiber Department and authorizes sole source purchasing
from Birch Equipment.
Section 3. Any actions of the City or its officers prior to the date hereof and
consistent with the terms of this Resolution are ratified and confirmed.
Section 4. This Resolution shall be in full force and effect from the after its
adoption and approval.
