A RESOLUTION of the City Council of the City of
Port Angeles, Washington, designating AT&T as
the sole source for acquisition of a new
telephone system.
WHEREAS, the City of Port Angeles has utilized AT&T
telephone equipment to serve City facilities for many years; and
WHEREAS, AT&T is the only vendor which provides local
maintenance services and parts for such telephone equipment, as is
necessary for City government to have reliable telephone
communications on an ongoing basis; and
WHEREAS, Clallam County has recently contracted with AT&T
for the purchase of a new telephone system, and the City of Port
Angeles has decided that purchase of a joint telephone system with
the County will provide cost savings and more efficient government
services; and
WHEREAS, due to the above circumstances, it is appropriate
for the City Council to determine that the purchase of a new
telephone system is clearly and legitimately limited to AT&T as a
single source of supply and/or is subject to the above-recited
special market conditions, thus allowing normal purchasing
requirements to be waived as allowed by RCW 35.23.352(9);
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the
City of Port Angeles as follows:
Section 1. AT&T is hereby designated the "sole source"
equipment vendor for acquisition of a new telephone system.
Section 2. An exception from normal bidding requirements
is herewith implemented, under which acquisition of an AT&T
telephone system need not be competitively bid.
PASSED by the City Council of the City of Port Angeles at
a regular meeting of said Council held on the 19th day of Septem-
ber, 1995. ~~M[A~y~
