WASHINGTON, DECLARING THE PURCHASE OF ASPHALT GRINDING
EQUIPMENT TO BE APPROPRIATE FOR SOLE SOURCE PROCUREMENT AND
APPROVING THE USE OF SUCH PROCESS.
WHEREAS, the City's purchasing policies and procedures require competitive bids for
procurement of goods and services exceeding $5,000 in cost, and,
WHEREAS, it is prudent for the City to modernize its construction equipment, and the
City has identified the Asphalt Zipper bucket -mounted portable asphalt pulverizing/recycling/
trenching machine as a necessary purchase; and;
WHEREAS, such equipment has been demonstrated to provide an overall cost savings
which will be realized by the City's combined utility rate payers, and
WHEREAS, the City staff has recommended that from an operational standpoint, the
City utilized labor savings equipment throughout the Stormwater, Water and Sewer utilities in
order to reduce the capital cost of construction, and
WHEREAS, the City has diligently researched the relevant market, has identified
Asphalt Zipper, Inc. as the sole regional supplier of the desired equipment, and has obtained
assurances from the supplier that the equipment has been offered for sale to the City at the lowest
available price, and
WHEREAS, advertising for bids under these circumstances would yield no bidders and
would needlessly waste the administrative and financial resources of the City; now, therefore,
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS, WASHINGTON HEREBY
RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The City Council finds that the proprietary nature and exclusive availability
of this asphalt grinding equipment create special market standards and conditions which justify
the use of sole source procurement of this asphalt grinding equipment and that the price charged
the City is consistent with the lowest price offered by the equipment vendor for other similarly
situated customers.
RESOLVED this 25th day of September, 2007.
