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 181h day of June, 2018.
