RESOLUTION DETERMINING THAT CERTAIN NEW OR
USED VEHICLES FOR PUBLIC SAFETY UNDERCOVER
WORK CANNOT BE REASONABLY OBTAINED THROUGH
USUAL BIDDING PROCEDURES AND AUTHORIZING THE
FINANCE DIRECTOR TO DISPENSE WITH BIDDING
THEREFORE, NOT TO EXCEED $331,000.
WHEREAS, the City of Bakersfield is in need of 17 new or used vehicles
for both the Fire and Police Departments for undercover work; and
WHEREAS, the unique characteristics of purchasing a variety of new or
used vehicles for special use restricts availability of these vehicles, and makes it
impractical for formal bidding procedures; and
WHEREAS, confidentiality is vital for vehicles procured for undercover
work; and
WHEREAS, the Finance Director recommends the Council find said new
or used vehicles, to be used for public safety undercover work, cannot be reasonably
obtained from one vendor because of the restricted availability of such equipment and
the need to maintain confidentiality in procuring undercover vehicles, 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 Finance Director is authorized to dispense with bidding in
accordance with subsection D.2 of Section 3.20.060 of the
Bakersfield Municipal Code.
The expenditure of funds for said new or used vehicles involved
shall not exceed $331,000.
