CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA
RESOLUTION NO. 89-124
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SEWARD, ALASKA, AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASE OF
CERTAIN HOSPITAL EQUIPMENT WITHOUT FULL UTILIZATION
OF CITY BID PROCEDURES
WHEREAS, on July 24, 1989, the City Council approved Resolu-
tion Nol. 89-085, appropriating a $140,000 State Municipal Grant
(No. 3/90-815) for the purchase of hospital equipment; and
WHEREAS, the Seward community Hospital Board has identified
the certain hospital equipment to be purchased under the terms of
the grant; and
WHEREAS, hospital equipment is highly specialized and is
manufactured and sold by only a limited number of vendors; and
WHEREAS, the hospital administration has solicited price
quotes and/or proposals from all major suppliers of mammography
equipment to the state; and
WHEREAS, the proposal submitted by Lorad reflected a "middle
of the road price", but was determined by hospital staff and the
hospi tal's contract radiologist to provide the highest qual i ty
image; and
WHEREAS, only one proposal was solicited for the fetal heart
monitor since the hospital equipment must interface with equipment
currently used in Providence Hospital; and
WHEREAS, only one proposal was solicited for the telephone
system since General Telephone is the only telephone service
operating in the city of Seward;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SEWARD, ALASKA, that:
Section 1. For the reasons stated above, it is found to be
in the public interest to waive formal bid procedures for the
purchase of mammography equipment, a telephone system and a fetal
heart monitor for Seward General Hospital.
Section 2. Funds available in the State Municipal Grant
referenced above shall be expended for the purchase of this
equipment, with any excess expense over grant funds to come from
the hospital's approved FY 1990 equipment budget.
