COUNCIL DISPENSING WITH FORMAL
BIDDING PROCEDURES IN THE PURCHASE OF
WET PLAY EQUIPMENT FROM VORTEX
AQUATIC STRUCTURES INTERNATIONAL INC.
FOR INSTALLATION AT SIEMON PARK, NOT
TO EXCEED $150,000.00 DOLLARS.
WHEREAS, on November 14, 2012, the Bakersfield City Council authorized
the installation of wet play equipment at Siemon Park to replace the existing
swimming pool; and
WHEREAS, the City's Recreation and Parks Department has determined
that the operating and maintenance costs for the wet play equipment can be
reduced by installing wet play equipment at Siemon Park produced by Vortex
Aquatic Structures International Inc. ( "Vortex "), the same manufacturer that
produced the wet play equipment installed at Wayside Park, Jefferson Park, Dr.
Martin Luther King Park, Planz Park, Beale Park, Jastro Park, and Greystone Park;
and
WHEREAS, Vortex is the only manufacturer of wet play equipment meeting
all playground safety regulations, including American Society for Testing and
Materials (ASTM) F 1487; and
WHEREAS, Miracle Playground Sales of Southern California ( "Miracle ") is
the exclusive authorized distributor of Vortex wet play equipment for the
Southern California, Arizona, and Nevada territory, which includes Bakersfield;
and
WHEREAS, Bakersfield Municipal Code ( "BMC ") Section 3.20.060D.2 allows
the City to dispense with bidding procedures when it is determined that work,
supplies, equipment, or materials to be purchased can only be reasonably
obtained from one vendor because of restricted availability of such work,
supplies, equipment, or materials, or it is necessary to successfully integrate such
work, supplies, equipment, or materials into an existing city project or system.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of Bakersfield
as follows:
1. The above recitals are true and correct and incorporated herein by
reference.

2. The wet play equipment for Siemon Park can only be obtained from
Vortex through Miracle because Vortex is the only manufacturer of wet play
equipment that meets all playground safety regulations, including ASTM F 1487,
and Miracle is the sole distributor of Vortex wet play equipment in Bakersfield.
3. Purchasing the wet play equipment for Siemon Park from Vortex,
the same manufacturer that produced the wet play equipment used by City in
many of its other parks, allows the City to reduce the operating and
maintenance costs for the wet play equipment at Siemon Park.
4. The requirements for the dispensing of bidding procedures under
BMC Section 3.20.060D.2 are met, and the Finance Director is hereby authorized
to dispense with bidding procedures in the purchase of wet play equipment for
Siemon Park.
5. The expenditure of funds for said equipment shall not exceed One
Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000.00).
