RESOLUTION NO. 22-91
A RESOLUTION of the city council of the City of
Port Angeles, Washington, declaring an exception
from bidding requirements for the purchase of an
integrated finance and automation system.
e
WHEREAS, the City Council has established a high priority
goal of acquiring an integrated finance and automation system and
has budgeted the necessary funds therefor; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has authorized the advertisement
of a formal request for proposals based on specifications for an
integrated finance and automation system as developed by the City's
Information Systems Steering Committee and a consultant; and
WHEREAS, the market for the necessary computer equipment
and services, particularly software, that will be the key elements
of the integrated finance and automation system, is extremely
varied and not conducive to the drafting of specifications that are
narrowly defined enough to be able to award the bid solely on the
basis of the lowest price; and
WHEREAS, accordingly, it is imperative that the contract be
awarded based on a combination of factors that will result in an
integrated finance and automation system that meets the city I s
particular short and long term needs rather than awarding the
contract solely on the basis of the lowest price as the bid laws
normally require; and
WHEREAS, because of said special market conditions and also
because the specialized computer software that is essential to the
e
integrated finance and automation system can be legitimately
characterized as a professional service, it is appropriate to waive
the normal requirement of awarding the bid to the lowest
responsible bidder;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the
City of Port Angeles as follows:
section 1. The purchase of an integrated finance and
automation system for the City of Port Angeles is hereby declared
-1-
e
e
to be subj ect to special market conditions and a professional
service pursuant to RCW 35.23.352(9) and (6) respectively, such
that the contract may be awarded on the basis of which proposal
best meets the special needs of the City of Port Angeles and need
not be awarded solely based on the lowest price.
PASSED by the city Council of the City of Port Angeles at
a regular meeting of said council held on the 4th day of
June
, 1991.
