permitting agencies; and
WHEREAS, the project was properly advertised for competitive
bids in accordance with City and State purchasing codes, and Northway
Development, Inc. was the sole responsive bidder, except that its bid
exceeded the budget; and
WHEREAS, Northway Development, Inc. submitted an unsolicited
proposal to reduce the cost by simplifying the design without changing
the concept or scope of the project; and
WHEREAS, the State of Alaska Department of Transportation and
Public Facilities, in its role as Project Manager, based on advice from
the State Attorney General, has determined that it would be allowable
under state law and also under the Seward City Code to waive public
bidding if found that the public interest would be best served; and
WHEREAS, the State and City have determined, for reasons set
forth in a Council memorandum dated November 24, 1986, that the risk
resulting from delaying award of the contract and proceeding to a
conventional owner-designed-and-then-bid contract are unacceptable, and
the public interest would be best served by waiving competitive bidding
and, instead, negotiating a contract with the sole bidder.
NOW. THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA, that:
Section 1. The Seward City Council has determined that the
public interest would be best served by waiving the requirement of
Section 10-8 of the Seward City Code.
