A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF ARLINGTON TO WAIVE BIDDING REQUIREMENTS
FOR THE PURCHASE AND OR REPLACEMENT OF THE MBR BLOWERS 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, the Wastewater Treatment Plant operates a membrane bio-reactor for the
treatment and processing of wastewater, and the membrane bio-reactor system requires high air
flow from blowers to clean the membranes necessary for the safe and continued operation of the
membrane bio-reactor; and
WHEREAS, the Wastewater Treatment Plant membrane bio-reactor was specifically
designed and programmed to operate with Aerzen blowers and substitution with any other type
blower would require significant engineering and retrofit; 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 the
membrane bio-reactor blowers with the make and model blower originally
designed for the wastewater treatment plant is in the best interest of the City and
its citizens and thus 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 membrane bio-reactor blowers for use by the
City of Arlington Wastewater Department and authorizes sole source purchasing
from Aerzen USA Corporation.
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 21s'day of September,
2020.
