A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF ARLINGTON TO WAIVE BIDDING REQUIREMENTS FOR THE
PURCHASE AND OR REPLACEMENT OF THE MBR MEMBRANES 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 uses Kubota
flat plate membranes; and
WHEREAS, the Wastewater Treatment Plant membrane bio-reactor was specifically
designed and programmed to operate with Kubota flat plate membranes and substitution with
any other type membrane 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 Water
Reclamation Facility membranes with the make and model of membrane originally
designed or the Water Reclamation Facility 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 membranes for use by the City of Arlington
Wastewater Department and authorizes sole source purchasing from Kubota
Membrane USA.
Section 3: This resolution will be effective for three (3) years from the date of
adoption.
