PUBLIC COMMENT
Bea Randall, 427 S. French Avenue, shared the history of the City’s acquisition of the
property that the community garden sits upon. She requested that if the property that the
community garden is on is sold, that the proceeds from the sale go to future library needs.
Lindsay Dunn, 735 E. Highland Drive, shared that he has been recently elected as the new
VFW commander. He requested that the Council contact him if any veterans need services.
He expressed concerns of the presence of the noxious weed tansy ragwort in multiple
locations around the city.
Melissa Molthan, 8128 Vista Drive, shared the current rates for those jurisdictions that
have an ambulance utility fee. She believes the city’s proposed rate is on the high side and

that the council should discuss further the CPI adjustment in the rate that is included in the
proposed ordinance.
Mike Rouleau, 709 E. Highland Drive, has reservations about the ambulance utility fee. He
feels we need more police officers and EMS services should be outsourced.
Phil Lane, 18016 Greywalls Drive, received the follow up correspondence from the City
regarding the ambulance utility fee. He felt the tone of the letter expressed that the City
does not care about the opinions of the city. He expressed concerns about the City’s low
income senior discount program and what can be deducted from income.
Bea Randall, 427 S. French, shared that there are two types of tansy ragwort. The ones
present at the airport are a different type and are not the noxious weed variety.

NEW BUSINESS
Department of Ecology 2017‐2019 Recycle Grant Agreement
Kris Wallace reviewed the proposed grant from the Department of Ecology for the amount
of $11,972.00, with a $2,993.00 match obligation by the City, in order to continue to fund the
City’s refuse and recycling program for fiscal years 2017‐2019. The City has been receiving
a Solid Waste Grant (formerly called “CPG”) from the Department of Ecology for over 12
years; this grant is used to fund the City’s refuse and recycling program. The refuse and
recycling program provides valuable information and outreach to Arlington’s citizens,
business, industries, and schools about efficient and cost effective waste management
practices – all of which not only reduce waste tonnage sent to landfills but reduces waste
disposal costs for citizens, business and schools. This current grant provides funding for the
fiscal years 2017‐2019 however due to the grants coming out late, Arlington will only use
the funds in 2018‐2019. Discussion followed. Councilmember Josh Roundy moved and
Councilmember Mike Hopson seconded the motion to accept the Solid Waste Financial
Assistance Grant offered by the Department of Ecology for fiscal years 2017 to 2019 and
authorize the mayor to sign the grant agreement, pending final review by the City Attorney.
The motion passed unanimously.

WORKSHOP ITEMS – NO ACTION WAS TAKEN
Resolution Adopting six‐year Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP)
Public Works Director Jim Kelly reviewed the proposed resolution adopting the city’s annual
Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP). In accordance with State Law, every municipality
must annually update their TIP for the following six years. Any road construction project that
is to be considered for Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act or Transportation
Improvement Board funding must be listed on the TIP. To be eligible for allocation of ½ ‐cent
gas tax monies, projects must also be listed. The attached TIP represents projects that the
City would like to have completed, or funded, over the next six years (2019 to 2024). Prior
to adopting this plan it must be presented for a Public Hearing which will be held on August
6, 2018. Discussion followed.
Resolution to Surplus Properties
City Administrator Paul Ellis reviewed the proposed resolution to surplus the four parcels
the City owns on the south side of Washington Avenue between 1st Street and 2nd Street.
Two of the lots are undeveloped, one lot accommodates the community garden and some
storage. The corner lot on 1st and Washington has a signal family dwelling which is rented
on a month to month lease. The dwelling was constructed in 1953 and currently is in need
of repairs and updating. Staff is currently working on a Memorandum of Understanding
Minutes of the Arlington
City Council Workshop

(MOU) with the Arlington School District to relocate the community garden to the corner of
3rd and French Ave on school district property. The property is zoned Old Town Residential
District and would accommodate additional housing units. The properties were identified at
the April Council Retreat as an area for potential new housing units to accommodate the
demand for growth in residential dwellings. Discussion followed.
Approval to Purchase Easements for the Installation of a Water Main in the Proposed
173rd St NE Alignment
Community and Economic Development Director Marc Hayes reviewed the request to
purchase a 15’ wide easement along the entire length of four individual private properties
for the installation of a 12” water main to serve the Baker‐Mor development, and more
specifically the Smokey Point Senior Apartment project. These easements will become a part
of the entire Right of Way for the future construction of 173rd St. NE, and the cost of this
easement purchase will be applied to the total cost of the Right of Way purchases. The
necessity of the separate easement purchases is to expedite the installation of the water main
to the site in order for the AMCAL‐ Smokey Point Senior Apartment project to meet its
obligations for State Funding requirements. Discussion followed.
2018 Airport Pavement Improvements Project‐ contractor selection
Airport Director Dave Ryan reviewed the 2018 Airport Pavement Improvement Project,
including both taxilane improvements and landside paving. The Airport Pavement
Improvements Project was budgeted in the 2017‐2018 biennial budget. $650,000.00 is
budgeted for the project through the airport’s capital improvement budget. This project will
repair, replace and/or upgrade several taxi lanes at the south end of the airport in and
around hangars. The project will also address potholes, asphalt deterioration, cut out
sections and new access for many businesses located around the airport. The bids for the
project were opened on July 20, 2018. The lowest responsive bidder is Razz Construction
with a bid of $598,730.97. Discussion followed.
June 2018 Financial Report
Finance Director Kristin Garcia reviewed the June 2018 Financial Report and answered
Council questions.
Fireworks Discussion
City Administrator Paul Ellis introduced the topic of discharging fireworks in city limits for
open discussion by the Council. Mr. Ellis distributed statistics of 911 calls from the last five
years from the police and fire departments. Discussion followed. City Attorney sTeve Peiffle
reminded the Council that in accordance with state law, any action taken by the Council on
fireworks would not go into effect until 2020. Council requested increased education to
residents about legal versus illegal fireworks in 2019. Council would like to continue to
discuss options in the future including conversations with the local Native American tribes,
how to gauge the sentiment of the voters, and increasing fines for violations.
MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS
City Administrator Paul Ellis distributed an article from the Everett Herald from July 23,
2018 titled “People do like fire departments but they don’t like tax hikes.” He shared with
the Council that he is working with staff to develop some additional EMS funding scenarios
for the Council to consider on August 6, 2018.

pedestrian movement up to the intersection.
Estimate: $1,425,000
5 Project: SR-530/SR-9/Division Ave Intersection Improvements (Project #I-6)
Description: This intersection merges two state routes, SR-530 and SR-9, with a City of Arlington local street,
Division Ave; it is also the primary intersection through which Arlington and NE Snohomish County freight
and passenger traffic passes to/from I-5. The intersection was analyzed by WSDOT as part of the SR 9
Corridor Planning Study (Jan 2011). The recommended improvements are to widen eastbound approach for
dual left-turn lanes. This requires two northbound receiving lanes and should coordinated with the SR-
530/Burke Signalization project.
Importance to City: Improvement of this intersection will facilitate both freight movement and general
traffic movement.
Funding Status: This will be a WSDOT funded project, City funds are included to improve/enhance
pedestrian movement up to the intersection.
Estimate: $2,625,000
6 Project: 204th St & 74th Ave Signal
Description: The Arlington Valley Road will connect 67th Ave to 74th Ave, this will add a lot of traffic to an
uncontrolled intersection at 204th St and 74th Ave. In addition, the Arlington Valley Rd multiuse trail will
cross at the intersection to allow users to access the 204th St trail. This project proposes to install a signal at
the intersection, add a bus pull-out location, and ADA accessible pedestrian crossing facilities.
Importance to City: This intersection will provide traffic flow control and increased freight mobility from the
MIC to SR-9.
Funding Status: Funding request submitted to WSDOT Safety Grant Program, request pending.
Estimate: $933,000
ID # 2019 6-Year Project Description Page 3 of 7
7 Project: 204th St & 77th Ave Roundabout
Description: The volume of traffic through this intersection has made it extremely unsafe for vehicles,
pedestrians and bicyclists. Within the past three years this intersection has seen over 20 vehicle collisions
with one causing a fatality in April 2017, this is the second fatality at this intersection within the past eight
years. This project proposes to add a roundabout to this intersection to control vehicle mobility and safety,
and to provide ADA accessible pedestrian crossing facilities.
Importance to City: This project will promote safety and mobility to a large residential area that will provide
workers for Arlington’s growing industrial sector.
Funding Status: Investigating two funding sources, WSDOT City Safety Grant and TIB Urban grant program.
Estimate: $2,700,000
8 Project: Highland Drive Corridor Improvement
Description: Highland Drive is the primary City street connecting SR-9 with east Old Town Arlington and the
unincorporated County areas east of Arlington. The road was resurfaced in 2016, however it lacks complete
and safe pedestrian pathways and has a poorly aligned stop controlled intersection with Olympic Place. This
project proposes to perform the design, ROW acquisition and construction to allow the Highland Drive
corridor to develop into an urban corridor with multifamily residential housing, sidewalk, and multiuse trail.
Importance to City: Develops urbanized vehicle and pedestrian transportation corridor for access to hospital
and to growing residential housing area.
Funding Status: Seeking funding sources.
Estimate: $2,675,000
9 Project: Smokey Pt Boulevard Corridor Improvements
Description: This project proposes to perform the preliminary engineering, public outreach, design, and ROW
needs assessment necessary to redevelop this mostly residential corridor into a mixed-use urbanized
corridor. One of Arlington's long range plans for Smokey Point is to develop a mixed use corridor along
Smokey Point Blvd between 174th St and 200th St (high density housing and retail). This corridor is ideally
suited for development into an urbanized corridor as there are already numerous multifamily developments
being constructed along this reach of Smokey Point Blvd. There is also a Community Transit Bus center
located at 174th St, and Smokey Point Blvd is a main transit route in Arlington.
Importance to City: Develops urbanized transportation corridor for horizontal mixed use development and
workforce housing
Funding Status: Funded by Arlington Transportation Improvement Funds (local funds).
Estimate: $1,125,000
10 Project: Smokey Point Blvd Overlay
Description: This project proposes to overlay Smokey Point Blvd from the south Arlington city limits, north
to 174th Ave. This alignment crosses a state route (SR-531) that will not receive an overlay. Work includes
replacement of non-compliant ADA ramps and upgrading pedestrian crossing facilities at 168th St.
Importance to City: Maintains urbanized corridor for freight movement and workforce transportation
Funding Status: Funded by Arlington TBD funds and PSRC Pavement Preservation funds.
Estimate: $ 907,500
ID # 2019 6-Year Project Description Page 4 of 7

four-lane road. The road widening project will include four roundabouts and a solid median separating the
west bound lanes from the east bound lanes. Project will include bus pull-outs for transit and a 12-ft wide
multiuse trail along the north side of the road.
Importance to City: Project will greatly increase freight mobility on SR-531, the primary E-W thoroughfare
crossing through the Arlington Marysville MIC at the approximate mid-point.
Funding Status: Project funded by Connecting Washington transportation funding program.
Estimate: $39,550,000
12 Project: SR-531 Corridor Rehabilitation (Smokey Point Blvd to 43rd Ave)
Description: As a condition of WSDOT approval for the SR-531 and 40th Ave Intersection Control Analysis, the
City is required to eliminate the center turn lane on SR-531 between Smokey Point Blvd and 43rd Ave. This
project proposes to install the same style of solid median planned for the SR-531 Widening Project (43rd Ave
to 67th Ave). In addition to median installation, other corridor improvements will be completed to enhance
pedestrian safety and mobility, bike mobility, and improved city streetscape.
Importance to City: Project will support the increase of freight mobility and passenger vehicle movement
along SR-531 (to/from the MIC) provide pedestrian and bike safety improvements, and enhance the
streetscape through this retail center.
Funding Status: Seeking funding sources.
Estimate: $1,300,000

Council Agenda Bill
Item:
NB #1
Attachment
C
COUNCIL MEETING DATE:
August 6, 2018
SUBJECT:
Ordinances Adopting Ambulance Utility Fee
ATTACHMENTS:
Draft ordinances
DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN
EMS
EXPENDITURES REQUESTED: None
BUDGET CATEGORY: Emergency Medical Services
BUDGETED AMOUNT: None
LEGAL REVIEW:
DESCRIPTION:
The proposed Ambulance Utility Fee is a per month fee per billable unit charge on businesses’ and
residents’ water, sewer and storm water bill to sustainably fund public safety services.
EMS services are currently funded through an EMS Property Tax levied at a maximum of
$0.50/thousand dollars of assessed value. Other funding sources include transport fees (fees paid by
patients or their insurance companies) and by contractual payment provided by other jurisdictions
that do not have their own EMS services and utilize Arlington to provide those services.
Even with these funding mechanisms there is still a shortfall of $1.5 million to cover current costs. To
fill that gap, the City has used its General Fund to ensure that services are fully funded. Taking from
the General Fund makes it difficult to fund public safety and has restricted public safety from adding
staff.
HISTORY:
City Council is considering this fee after four years of intensive study to find a sustainable model to
fund Emergency Medical Services (EMS). EMS services are currently partially funded through an
EMS Property Tax Levy and fees paid by other jurisdictions that contract with the City of Arlington
for services. This still leaves a $1.5 million gap in funding that must be filled with funds from the
General Fund, impacting other programs and services. The Council and City directors have carefully
considered all options to ensure the community needs for public safety services are met.

in the Consumer Price Index shall be deleted”
“The language in AMC 23.08.040 relating to periodic increases for automatic increases
in the Consumer Price Index shall be changed so that increases only become effective
on January 15, 2020”
ORDINANCE NO. 2018-XXX 1
ORDINANCE NO. 2018-XXX
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ARLINGTON, WASHINGTON, CREATING A
NEW TITLE 23 OF THE ARLINGTON MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO A NEWLY
FORMED AMBULANCE UTILITY AND REGULATIONS PERTAINING THERETO
WHEREAS, the City of Arlington (“the City”) has operated an emergency medical
services (EMS) program through the City Fire Department; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has studied the cost of the provision of EMS services for
over four years and exhaustively examined alternatives to provide a stable source of funding for
EMS services; and
WHEREAS, revenues from ambulance fees have been declining due to reduced
reimbursement through Medicaid and Medicare programs, while costs of service have been
increasing; and
WHEREAS, the City hired the FCS Group to conduct a cost or service and ambulance
utility rate study in 2016; and
WHEREAS, the Washington state legislature, by enacting RCW 35.21.766, has codified
the City’s authority to establish a system of ambulance services to be operated as a public utility
and provided statutory guidance in setting rates for such services and assessing a portion of the
costs for those services to all the taxpayers of the City of Arlington; and
WHEREAS, the legislature has determined that ambulance and EMS services are
essential services and the availability of those services are vital to preserving and promoting the
health, safety and welfare of the citizens of Arlington, and the City Council finds that all medical
services and survival rates can be increased when those services are available, adequately funded
and appropriately regulated; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined it to be in the best interests of the citizens
to implement an ambulance utility;
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Arlington does hereby ordain as
follows:
Section 1. Findings. The City Council adopts the following findings in support of
the adoption of this ordinance:
ORDINANCE NO. 2018-XXX 2
a. The City of Arlington has operated a fire department which provides both fire and
ambulance/emergency medical service (EMS) services.
b. The City Council has examined alternatives for sustainable funding of EMS service
through multiple studies over the last four years.
c. The City does not have any existing licensed private ambulance services within the
meaning of RCW 35.21.766.
d. The City engaged the services of the FCS Group of Redmond, WA, to conduct a cost
of service study dated March 3, 2016, to analyze the total costs of service to operate
the ambulance utility, and to separate out the availability costs and demand related
costs of the utility. The City finds the FCS cost of service study to be a fair and
reasonable study of the costs of providing the ambulance service, and finds that the
overall costs of providing ambulance services have only increased since the study was
done in 2014-2015.
e. Based on the FCS study, the city has concluded that annual demand costs (defined in
RCW 35.21.766 as “those costs attributable to the burden placed on the ambulance
service by individual calls for ambulance service”) are more than offset by demand
revenues (transport fees), but that the availability costs of the system (defined in
RCW 35.21.766 as “those costs attributable to the basic infrastructure needed to
respond to a single call for service within the utility’s response area” and including
dispatch, labor, training, equipment, patient care supplies, and equipment
maintenance costs but excluding capital expenses) are not covered by offsetting
revenues.
f. The City mailed on May 30, 2018, a written notice to all taxpayers of the utility,
notifying them of a public hearing to be held on July 2, 2018, to consider the
establishment of an ambulance utility, as required by RCW 35.21.766.
g. The City held a public hearing on July 2, 2018, and took public comment on the
proposed utility, at which time the City staff presented:
a. The cost of service study;
b. A summary of the utility’s current revenue sources;
c. A proposed budget reflecting the reduced allocation of general fund services;
d. Any proposed changes to utility rates; and
e. Any anticipated impact to the utility’s level of service.
h. Based on the information presented to the Council and the testimony taken at the
public hearing, the City Council wishes to form an ambulance utility as set forth
herein.
Section 2. New Chapter Added. A new Title 23 of the Arlington Municipal Code is
hereby adopted, to read as follows:

change in use and shall continue until qualification for an exemption. It is the
owner's or occupant's responsibility to notify the City of all use changes.

ORDINANCE NO. 2018-XXX
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ARLINGTON, WASHINGTON, CREATING A
NEW CHAPTER 23.08 OF THE ARLINGTON MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO
AMBULANCE UTILITY RATES
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined it to be in the best interests of the citizens
to implement an ambulance utility; and
WHEREAS, the City has conducted a cost of service and ambulance utility rate study
performed by the FCS Group (“the Rate Study”); and
WHEREAS, the City wishes to adopt utility rates based on that Rate Study;
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Arlington does hereby ordain as
follows:
Section 1. Findings. The City Council adopts the following findings in support of the
adoption of this ordinance:
a. The City of Arlington has operated a fire department which provides both
fire and ambulance/emergency medical service (EMS) services.
b. The City Council has examined alternatives for sustainable funding of
EMS service through multiple studies over the last four years.
c. The City engaged the services of the FCS Group of Redmond, WA, to
conduct a cost of service study dated March 3, 2016, to analyze the total costs of
service to operate the ambulance utility, and to separate out the availability costs
and demand related costs of the utility. The City finds the FCS cost of service
study to be a fair and reasonable study of the costs of providing the ambulance
service, and finds that the overall costs of providing ambulance services have only
increased since the study was done in 2014-2015.
e. Based on the FCS study, the city has concluded that annual demand costs
(defined in RCW 35.21.766 as “those costs attributable to the burden placed on
the ambulance service by individual calls for ambulance service”) are more than
offset by demand revenues (transport fees), but that the availability costs of the
system (defined in RCW 35.21.766 as “those costs attributable to the basic
infrastructure needed to respond to a single call for service within the utility’s
response area” and including dispatch, labor, training, equipment, patient care
supplies, and equipment maintenance costs but excluding capital expenses) are
not covered by offsetting revenues.
ORDINANCE NO. 2018-XXX 2
f. The City mailed on May 30, 2018, a written notice to all taxpayers of the
utility, notifying them of a public hearing to be held on July 2, 2018, to consider
the establishment of an ambulance utility, as required by RCW 35.21.766.
g. The City held a public hearing on July 2, 2018, and took public comment
on the proposed utility, at which time the City staff presented:
1 The cost of service study;
2 A summary of the utility’s current revenue sources;
3 A proposed budget reflecting the reduced allocation of general
fund services;
4 Any proposed changes to utility rates; and
5 Any anticipated impact to the utility’s level of service.
h. Based on the information presented to the Council and the testimony taken
at the public hearing, the City Council wishes to establish rates for the ambulance
utility as set forth herein.
Section 2. New Chapter Added. A new Chapter 23.08 of the Arlington Municipal Code
is hereby adopted, to read as follows:

BUDGETED AMOUNT:
LEGAL REVIEW:
DESCRIPTION:
To purchase a 15’ wide easement along the entire length of four individual private properties for the
installation of a 12” water main to serve the Baker‐Mor development, and more specifically the
Smokey Point Senior Apartment project. These easements will become a part of the entire Right of
Way for the future construction of 173rd St. NE, and the cost of this easement purchase will be applied
to the total cost of the Right of Way purchases. The necessity of the separate easement purchases is to
expedite the installation of the water main to the site in order for the AMCAL‐ Smokey Point Senior
Apartment project to meet its obligations for State Funding requirements. Without meeting the
requirement of having a water source available onsite by October 1, 2018, the project would not be
eligible for funding and AMCAL would need to delay the project for an entire year.
HISTORY:
In 2016 Baker Construction requested that the City of Arlington provide the water utility for their
property development. The city gained the agreement with the City of Marysville to serve the Baker
site even though it is in Marysville’s service area. Two routes for the water main installation were
evaluated. Alt. #1‐ from point of connection on 43rd Ave., thence south to 172nd St. NE ,then west
along 172nd St. to the subject property. Alt. #2 ‐ from point of connection at 43rd. Ave. thence west
along the alignment of the future 173rd St. to the subject property (see attached map). Alternative #2
was the clear choice since it was shorter in length, with no obstacles such as traffic, underground
utilities, and restoration costs of existing infrastructure and would be installed in the future 173rd St.
already. Baker Construction attempted to acquire the easements, but were not successful in their
attempts. The city assumed the acquisition process and has successfully been able to gain
agreements to purchase the easements from the four property owners.

LEGAL REVIEW:
DESCRIPTION:
The Airport Pavement Improvements Project was budgeted in the 2017‐2018 biennial budget, and
$650,000.00 was budgeted for the project through the airport’s capital improvement budget. This
project will repair, replace and/or upgrade several taxi lanes at the south end of the airport in and
around hangars. The project will also address potholes, asphalt deterioration, cut out sections and
new access for many businesses located around the airport. Two bids were received on the project.
Razz Construction’s bid was for $598,730.98 and Granite Construction Co. was for $802,287.31. Razz
Construction’s bid had a minor irregularity in the “Buy American” certification. Staff is recommending
adoption of the resolution attached and awarding the contract to Razz Construction, Inc.
HISTORY:
This project was budgeted in the 2017‐2018 biennial budget.
ALTERNATIVES:
o Adopt the resolution waiving the bid irregularities and award to Razz Construction, Inc.;
o Do not waive the bid irregularities and award to Granite Construction Co; or
o Reject all bids and re‐bid the project.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
I move to adopt the resolution finding Razz Construction, Inc. to be the apparent low bidder for the

RESOLUTION NO. 2018-XXX
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF ARLINGTON FINDING RAZZ CONSTRUCTION, INC.
TO BE THE APPARENT LOW BIDDER FOR THE ARLINGTON MUNICIPAL AIRPORT
2018 PAVEMENT IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT
WHEREAS, the Arlington Municipal Airport has solicited bids for a project known as
the 2018 Pavement Improvements Project, City Project #P02.443 (hereinafter the “Project”); and
WHEREAS, the apparent low bidder on the project, Razz Construction, Inc., checked
two boxes on one of its bid forms, although other portions of the bid form were properly signed;
and
WHEREAS, the City Council wishes to waive the irregularities in the bid submitted by
Razz Construction, Inc. within the terms of the bid documents and the meaning of RCW
35.52.352;
NOW, THEREFORE, the Arlington, Washington City Council do hereby resolve as
follows:
1. The City Council finds as follows:
a. The City of Arlington sought qualified contractors to bid on the
Arlington Municipal Airport 2018 Pavement Improvements Project, City Project
#P02.443 (“the Project”).
b. Razz Construction, Inc. (“Razz”) submitted its bid packet which
included a Certificate of Buy American Compliance for Total Facility (“Buy American
Form”) form attached hereto as Exhibit “A”.
c. The Buy American Form submitted by Razz had two boxes
checked instead of one.
d. However, the Buy American Form indicates Razz’s intention to
comply with the law, notwithstanding the irregularity.
e. Public bidding is designed to prevent ‘fraud, collusion, favoritism,
and improvidence in the administration of public business' and to ensure that the public
entity receives ‘the best work or supplies at the most reasonable prices practicable.’
Gostovich v. City of W. Richland, 75 Wn.2d 583, 587, 452 P.2d 737 (1969) (quoting
Edwards v. City of Renton, 67 Wn.2d 598, 602, 409 P.2d 153 (1965)).
f. The bid documents clearly indicate that “The right is reserved by
the Owner to waive any irregularity in the bidding, to reject any or all proposals, to
accept any proposal, to re-advertise for new proposals, or to otherwise carry out the work.
The Owner also reserves the right to select any proposal upon consideration of all factors,
RESOLUTION 2018-XXX
and may accept any proposal that appears to serve the best interests of the City of
Arlington.”
g. The City Council further finds that it is in the best interests of the
City to accept the low bid.
h. The City Council further finds that the failure by Razz to correctly
complete the Buy American form is not a failure which provides Razz with a substantial
advantage over other bidders.
2. Based on the foregoing findings, the City Council hereby declares that the bid
submitted by Razz Construction, Inc. for the 2018 Pavement Improvements Project, City Project
#P02.443 is hereby accepted, that any irregularities therein are waived, and Razz Construction,
Inc. is declared to be the “lowest responsible bidder” for purposes of awarding the bid on that
project.
