A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF ARLINGTON TO WAIVE BIDDING REQUIREMENTS
FOR THE PURCHASE OF TWO VERATHON GLIDESCOPE LARYNGOSCOPES FOR USE
BY THE CITY OF ARLINGTON FIRE DEPARTMENT
WHEREAS, the City of Arlington Fire Department is responsible for providing
emergency medical services (EMS) within the City of Arlington and surrounding areas by
contract; and
WHEREAS, Cascade Valley Hospital Foundation has graciously awarded the City a
Grant to purchase two Verathon Glidescope Laryngoscopes; and
WHEREAS, the grant was approved for the purchase of two Verathon Glidescope
Laryngoscopes, which are specialized equipment only offered by the Manufacturer and not
through any other vendor, so that soliciting multiple bids in accordance with the City's
purchasing standards is not feasible; and
WHEREAS, RCW 35.23.352(9)permits the waiving of bidding requirements for the
purchase of materials which are clearly and legitimately limited to a single source of supply or
services which are subject to special market conditions;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Arlington,
as follows:
Section 1: The City Council of the City of Arlington finds that the acquisition of two
Verathon Glidescope Laryngoscopes approved by the Cascade Valley Hospital
Foundation clearly limits the City of Arlington to a single source of supply,justifying
the waiver of competitive bidding requirements.
Section 2: The City Council of the City of Arlington hereby waives the bidding
requirements for the purchase of two Verathon Glidescope Laryngoscopes for use by
the City of Arlington Fire Department.
APPROVED by the Mayor and City Council of the City of Arlington this 3rd day of
