A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF ARLINGTON TO WAIVE BIDDING REQUIREMENTS FOR THE
PURCHASE OF PUMPING UNITS AND REPLACEMENT PARTS 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 continued operation of the
lift stations, and avoid the cost associated with repairs to the system that may occur using non
genuine original Smith & Loveless (OEM) replacement parts, a supplier of OEM pumping units
and replacement parts is required; and
WHEREAS, APSCO LLC APSCO is the sole source representative authorized to supply
Smith & Loveless replacement parts; 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 pumping units or
replacement parts with Smith & Lovelace OEM parts 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 pumping units or replacement parts for use by the City of Arlington
Wastewater Department and authorizes sole source purchasing from APSCO, LLC.
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 15th day of July 2024.
