RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA
VISTA WAIVING THE COMPETITIVE BIDDING PROCESS AND
APPROVING A THREE YEAR SERVICE AGREEMENT WITH AMERICAN
DIGITAL SYSTEMS (ADS) SERVICES FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF
TEN SEWAGE FLOW METERS THROUGH JUNE 30, 1996
WHEREAS, American Digital Systems (ADS) Services and the City of Chula
Vista had a one year service agreement for Fiscal Year 1992-93 for the repair and
preventive maintenance services for eight sewage flow metering stations and it
is proposed that this service be extended for three more years under a new
service agreement; and,
WHEREAS, staff recommends that the competitive bid process be waived and
that ADS Services continue to do the maintenance for the following reasons:
1. City of San Diego staff indicated that no other contractor in the San
Diego area performs maintenance on permanent ADS metering stations.
2. ADS permanent flow meters are unique and special training, parts, and
equipment are required to perform the maintenance.
3. Most agencies currently in the Metro system use ADS Services to calibrate
the system quarterly to give uniform flow results between the agencies.
4. ADS computer software and compatible hardware is required to perform many
of the maintenance functions.
5. ADS provides both software and field support for the metering stations.
These efforts are well coordinated among ADS staff members in Dallas and
the field support group based in San Diego. Splitting the field and
office functions among two different vendors would almost certainly
disrupt this coordination and diminish the value of the installations.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
Chula Vista does hereby find that competitive bidding would be impractical and
waives the competitive bidding process and approve the three year Service
Agreement with American Digital Systems (ADS) Services for the maintenance of ten
sewage flow meters through June 30, 1996, known as document number C093-191, a
copy of which is on file in the office of the City Clerk.
