A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF ARLINGTON TO WAIVE BIDDING REQUIREMENTS FOR THE
PURCHASE OF NEW ULTRAVIOLET BULBS 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 UV 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 (OEM) replacement parts,
a supplier of OEM ultraviolet bulbs is required; and
WHEREAS, Aquionics (a sister company to Berson, the original manufacturer) has
provided the City of Arlington with its existing UV bulbs, and Aquionics is the sole source
representative authorized to sell UV Bulbs; 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 ultraviolet
bulbs with OEM bulbs 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 Ultraviolet Bulbs for use by the City of
Arlington Wastewater Department and authorizes sole source purchasing from
Aquionics.
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 20th day of February,
