WASHINGTON DECLARING WHITNEY EQUIPMENT, INC. THE SOLE SOURCE
PROVIDER FOR A FLYGT INFLUENT PUMP USED IN THE WASTEWATER
TREATMENT FACILITY
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
WHEREAS, the City needs to replace one of the three influent pumps at the Wastewater
Treatment Facility: and
WHEREAS, the estimated cost for a pump is $27,000.00; and
WHEREAS, the City has found using one manufacturer for its influent pumps has been
more reliable and efficient; and
WHEREAS, there is only one distributor for these pumps; 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 Whitney Equipment, Inc. the sole source for Flygt influent
pumps used at the Wastewater Treatment Facility.
