RESOLUTION NO. 96-031
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SEWARD, ALASKA, APPROVING THE PURCHASE OF
CERTAIN PUMP-OUT EQUIPMENT AND A MOBILE VACUUM
TANK WITHOUT FULL UTILIZATION OF CITY BID PROCEDURES
WHEREAS, on September 26,1994, the City Council approved Resolution No. 94-175,
accepting a $70,000 state grant for a sewer pumpout station in the Harbor; and
WHEREAS, on February 5, 1996, the Harbor received notice from the granting agency that
the sum of $22,000 remained in the fund established for the Seward Harbor Project; and
WHEREAS, if these funds are not used by June 30, 1996, for the purposes set forth in the
grant agreement, they must be returned to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game; and
WHEREAS, the City desires to use these funds to duplicate the pumpout equipment on the
float system to reduce future maintenance costs for the operation of that facility and to purchase a
1,000-gallon mobile vacuum tank for maintenance of the City's sewer system; and
WHEREAS, since the existing pumpout station purchased from Keko, Inc., has functioned
without problems since its installation, it is the desire of the City to purchase an identical unit from
Keko for use on the float system; and
WHEREAS, since the cost of the Keko, Inc., pumpout station is under $10,000, there is no
City requirement to bid this item; and
WHEREAS, the City requested a price quote from Lely Pacific, Inc., for the purchase of a
vacuum tank identical, except for capacity, to existing equipment currently in use in the Harbor for
handling of waste oil; and
WHEREAS, it is the desire of the Water and Sewer Department personnel to purchase this
particular unit because of its proven track record and in to standardize the types of equipment used
to maintain various systems within the City;

OF SEWARD, ALASKA, that:
