RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA
APPROVING AWARD OF CONTRACT TO SEAGRAVE FIRE APPARATUS
INC., WAIVING BID REQUIREMENTS, AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS
THEREFOR
The City Council of the City of Chula Vista does hereby resolve as
follows:
WHEREAS, Interim Fire Station #6 is scheduled to be placed into service
on March 1,1992 and it was originally proposed to purchase a Telesquirt
equipped fire pumper for this Station and a Request for Proposals was issued
accordingly; and,
WHEREAS, if the potential purchase were rebid, the fire pumper would not
be delivered until approximately three (3) months after Station #6 opens and
needs to be equipped; and,
WHEREAS, recently enacted changes to DMV regulations will lower allowable
vehicle weight limits on December 31, 1991; and Telesquirt apparatus is
extremely heavy and would violate these new DMV restrictions; and,
WHEREAS, the proposal received for the Telesquirt-equipped pumper was not
acceptable to either the Director of Finance or the Fire Chief; and,
WHEREAS, staff recommends that a second fire pumper be obtained at a cost
of $221,000 via an amendment to Purchase Order 192896, which was issued
pursuant to a successful bid response by Seagrave to an earlier RFP for
replacement apparatus; and,
WHEREAS, Section 2.56.070 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code authorizes
dispensing with the requirements of competitive bidding when the City Council
determines that competitive bidding is impractical or impossible.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Chula
Vista does hereby find competitive bidding is impractical, and waive the
competitive bidding requirements, and approve awarding a contract to Seagrave
Fire Apparatus Inc. for purchase of a second fire pumper at a cost of $221,000
via an amendment to Purchase Order 192896.
