CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA
RESOLUTION NO. 82-29
FINDINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF SEWARD ALASKA THAT
THE PUBLIC INTEREST WOULD BE BEST SERVED BY NOT
REQUIRING COMPETITIVE BIDDING FOR THE HYDROSEEDING
FOR SHORE PROTECTION
WHEREAS, Ordinance No. 503 of the City of Seward
Code Section 10-8(g) provides that where the public interest
would be best served by not requiring competitive bidding, the
provisions of that ordinance may be waived upon written finding
by the City Council:
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SEWARD, MAKES THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS:
Section 1. In 1981, the City of Seward invited
competitive bids for the construction of Nash Road Extension; and
Section 2. Competitive bidding procedures were
followed and award was made to the lowest bidder, Wilder
Construction; and
Section 3. Item 111(1) Erosion and pollution control
was bid for a total of $20,000;
Section 4. This item would have extended the comple-
tion date of the contract, delaying final payment to the City
from the State of Alaska and delaying final payment to Wilder
Construction so the item was deleted from the contract;
Section 5. Bush Landscaping has agreed to complete
this work for the amount of $14,597.50 as quoted to Wilder
Construction. This would be a substantial savings to the City
of Seward due to the main contractor mark-up elimination.
Section 6. The cost and expense to the City of
Seward in preparing bid documents and going through the
competitive bid process would be substantial.
Section 7. There is money available with the
project budget for the Hydroseeding for the above reason to
award Bush Landscaping and Nursery Company as requested by
the City Manager without requiring the competitive bidding
as found to be in the public interest as provided for in
Paragraph (g) of Section 10-8 of Ordinance No. 503.
