through national cooperative procurement contracts is to the City's economic
advantage and in the City's best interest; and
WHEREAS, Bakersfield Municipal Code Section 3.20.060(D) (7) allows the City

thirty-six months or is one that is still active and valid as a participant in a
cooperative procurement contract; and
WHEREAS, the City desires to utilize a competitively awarded cooperative
