Opal Properties, LLC Release of Easements Public Works Director Jim Kelly reviewed the proposal to release the City’s interest in a 60‐ foot wide non‐exclusive access easement road crossing a property owned by Opal Properties, Inc. The Arlington Valley Land Company divided property and sold lots on a parcel of land situated on the east side of 67th Ave, and roughly between 188th St to 197 St. There were no roads or utilities installed when the lots were sold so access easements were created to allow access to many of the lots. Original Lot #6 (Snohomish County Tax Parcel No. 31050400302900) still has a 60‐foot wide non‐exclusive access easement road (Auditor File Number 7905290175) crossing the property.

HISTORY: The impellers on the membrane bioreactor Return Activated Sludge (RAS) pumps that are used at Water Reclamation Facility have worn away and are in need of replacement. The RAS pumps are Flygt brand pumps and are only serviceable by an authorized Flygt service facility.

These pumps were installed at the time of construction, in 2010, and used a Gray Cast Iron 190HB impeller (only type available at that time). The replacement impellers will be the new Hard Iron HRC60 impeller, impellers that will have triple the life expectancy of original impellers. ALTERNATIVES: Do not issue sole source resolution; remand to staff for further consideration. RECOMMENDED MOTION: I move to recognize Whitney Equipment Company, Inc. as the only Flygt authorized service facility in Washington state and approve a Sole Source Resolution allowing the City to contract for the repair of the Water Reclamation Facility pumps.   RESOLUTION 2018‐XXX  1    RESOLUTION NO.   2018‐XXX  A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF ARLINGTON TO WAIVE BIDDING REQUIREMENTS FOR THE  PURCHASE AND OR  REPLACEMENT OF THE MBR RETURN ACTIVATED SLUDGE (RAS) PUMPS  FOR USE BY THE CITY OF ARLINGTON WASTEWATER DEPARTMENT  WHEREAS, the City of Arlington Wastewater Department treats wastewater for all of its  customers; and  WHEREAS, to maintain the consistency of parts, ensure the warranty of the RAS Pump  System at the Wastewater Treatment Plant, and avoid the cost associated with repairs to the  system that may occur using non genuine original equipment manufacturer (Flygt) replacement  parts, a supplier of Flygt RAS Pumps is required; and  WHEREAS, Whitney Equipment Company  has provided the City of Arlington with its  existing RAS Pumps, and Whitney Equipment Company Inc. is the sole source representative  authorized to sell Flygt brand pumps; 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 replacing RAS  Pumps with Flygt brand pumps 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, replacement, and or repair of RAS Pumps for use  by the City of Arlington Wastewater Department and authorizes sole source  purchasing from Whitney Equipment Company, Inc.  Section 3:  This resolution will be effective for three (3) years from the date of  adoption.  APPROVED by the Mayor and City Council of the City of Arlington this _____day of June, 2018.                              CITY OF ARLINGTON                  _______________________              Barbara Tolbert, Mayor      RESOLUTION 2018‐XXX  2    ATTEST:               _____________________________      Kristin Banfield, City Clerk              APPROVED AS TO FORM:    _____________________________  Steven J. Peiffle, City Attorney  City of Arlington Council Agenda Bill Item: NB #1 Attachment D COUNCIL MEETING DATE: June 18, 2018 SUBJECT: Approve 2019/2020 Budget Calendar ATTACHMENTS: 2019/2020 Budget Calendar DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN Finance; Kristin Garcia – Finance Director 360‐403‐3431 EXPENDITURES REQUESTED: N/A BUDGET CATEGORY: N/A BUDGETED AMOUNT: N/A LEGAL REVIEW: DESCRIPTION: The council met in March 2018 to discuss and identify priorities for the 2019/2020 budget.
