WHEREAS, City crews must start the street reconstruction/resurfacing process
in late March or early April of each year and continue through November because such
projects can only be done in warmer weather; and
WHEREAS, current City equipment (rollers) used for street
reconstruction/resurfacing are old and subject to numerous breakdowns and repairs;
and
WHEREAS, in order to reconstruct/resurface the maximum number of streets
during warmer weather conditions (now through November), equipment must be
purchased immediately; and
WHEREAS, the City is in need of a vibratory asphalt steel drum roller and a
pneumatic tire roller and one vendor in town (Quinn Company) has both items in stock
and can provide immediate delivery; and
WHEREAS, because of the restricted time frame available for the
reconstruction/resurfacing of City streets in warm weather conditions (an existing City
project), it is essential that the necessary equipment be obtained immediately.

as follows:
1. The above-recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by
reference.
2. The vibratory asphalt steel drum roller and pneumatic tire roller can only
be reasonably obtained from one vendor because of the need to successfully integrate
such equipment into an existing City project (the immediate and ongoing
reconstruction/resurfacing of City streets during warm weather).
3. The Finance Director is authorized to dispense with bidding therefor, in
accordance with Section 3.20.060 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code.
