RESOLUTION NO. 10-036
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PORT TOWNSEND,
WASHINGTON DECLARING PUMP TECH THE SOLE SOURCE PROVIDER FOR
HYDROMATIC PUMPS
WHEREAS, State law and the City's own purchasing ordinance requires purchases of
materials and supplies over $15,000 a year to be competitively bid and goods and services over
$7,500 - $15,000 to be bid through the Vendor's List process; and
WHEREAS, the City must purchase a replacement influent pump for the Gaines Street
Pump Station which will cost approximately $15,000.00; and
WHEREAS, the City has found using one manufacturer for its pumps has been more
reliable and efficient; and
WHEREAS, there is only one distributor for Hydromatic pumps in this region; and
WHEREAS, a competitive bidding process would likely only produce one bid; and
WHEREAS, RCW 35.23.352(9) authorizes sole source purchasing without calling for
bids; and
WHEREAS, the statute requires a resolution by Council declaring an exemption from
bidding under the sole source provision,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Port
Townsend as follows: to declare Pump Tech the sole source for Hydromatic pumps in this
region.
ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Port Townsend at a regular meeting
thereof, held this 6th day of December 2010.
