RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA
FINDING COMPETITIVE BIDDING TO BE IMPRACTICAL FOR THE
PURCHASE OF STIMSONITE MARKERS AND AUTHORIZING THE EXPENDI-
TURE OF THE NECESSARY FUNDS THEREFOR FROM THE 2107 GAS
TAX FUNDS
The City Council of the City of Chula Vista does hereby re-
solve as follows:
WHEREAS, the City Council has heretofore found, pursuant to
Resolution 4203, that competitive bidding is impractical for the pur-
pose of Stimsonite markers, and
WHEREAS, the City Council again finds that the Stimsonite
pavement markers manufactured by the Elastic Stop Nut Corporation of
America, Signal Products Division, in Elizabeth, New Jersey, is the most
desirable type of marker to be utilized for traffic dividers because
of their design, specifications and durability, and
WHEREAS, said finding of superiority and excellance of said
pavement markers is an opinion shared by numerous other jurisdictions
in the County of San Diego, and
WHEREAS, the application and serviceability of said markers
will provide the highest quality in terms of safety and maintenance,
and until further technological improvements in the field of development
and manufacture of pavement markers would indicate a more desirable
product for this use the Stimsonite markers will continue to be used
for such purpose by the City of Chula Vista, and
WHEREAS, direct purchase of said pavement markers from the
Elastic Stop Nut Corporation of America, Signal Products Division, in
Elizabeth, New Jersey, is the most economical means of acquiring said
markers, and

purchase of the following numbers and models of said Stimsonite markers:
-1-
428 bi-directional
72 mono-directional
1260 reflectorized mono-directional
1260 non-reflectorized
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the
City of Chula Vista, based upon the foregoing reasons and facts, does
hereby find that competitive biding for the acquisition of said pave-
ment markers is impractical and undesirable.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Purchasing Agent be, and
he is hereby directed to complete this transaction and conclude such
necessary contracts with Elastic Stop Nut Corporation of America for
the acquisition of said pavement markers.

said number of markers be authorized for expenditure from the 2107 Gas
Tax funds for the purpose hereinabove set forth.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Finance Officer be, and he
