LAMPS FOR TRAFFIC SIGNAL HEADS CANNOT BE
REASONABLY OBTAINED THROUGH USUAL BIDDING
PROCEDURES AND AUTHORIZING THE FINANCE
DIRECTOR TO DISPENSE WITH BIDDING THEREFOR, NOT
TO EXCEED $30,000.
WHEREAS, the City of Bakersfield is in need of traffic signal head lamps for
replacement purposes; and
WHEREAS., CITY has used Duro Test lamps for traffic signal heads for the
past several years; and
WHEREAS, CITY desires to continue using these lamps because of their
track record and acceptance as an industry standard in many other cities in California; and
WHEREAS, CITY desires to integrate the lamps into the existing City system;
and
WHEREAS, Duro Test lamps are available only through the manufacturer;
and
WHEREAS, the Finance Director recommends the Council find said Duro
Test lamps cannot be reasonably obtained from more than one vendor because multiple
bids for like lamps cannot be obtained, and recommends that the Council dispense with
bidding, in accordance with subsection D.2 of Section 3.20.060 of the Bakersfield Municipal
Code.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of
Bakersfield as follows:
The above-recitals are true and correct and incorporated herein by
reference.
The Duro Test lamps cannot be reasonably obtained from more than
one vendor because this item is only made available by the
manufacturer.
The work, supplies, equipment or materials can only be reasonably
obtained from one vendor because of restricted availability and
because of the need to successfully integrate such work, supplies,
equipment or materials into an existing City project or system.
