OF THE
TRUCKEE DONNER PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT
DISPENSING WITH BIDDING IN CONNECTION WITH THE PURCHASE OF VAULTS
FOR THE HIGHWAY 267 BYPASS PROJECT
WHEREAS, the Truckee Donner Public Utility District has determined the need to acquire Jensen
Pre-cast Concrete Products, specifically vaults and enclosures, for the Highway 267 Bypass project;
and
WHEREAS, the concrete products were included within the project approved in the 1999 budget;
and
WHEREAS, Public Contract Code Section 20206.4 generally requires that the District seek
competitive bids in connection with the purchase of goods; and
WHEREAS, various California court decisions, including Graydon v. Pasadena Development Agency,
104 C.A. 3d 631 (1980), hold that if the subject of a contract is such that competitive proposals
would be unavailing or would not produce an advantage, and the advertisement for competitive bid
would thus be undesirable or impractical, a public agency may dispense with competitive bidding;
and
WHEREAS, the District has a large investment in the use of Jensen Pre-cast Concrete Products,
having used them exclusively in the past; and
WHEREAS, the use of Jensen Pre-cast Concrete Products reduces costs in inventory of parts: and
WHEREAS, the use of Jensen Pre-cast Concrete Products allows for interchangeability within the
system; and
WHEREAS, time is of the essence in the procurement of the required equipment and delay would
result in a stoppage or slow down of the mandated Cal Trans project thus preventing the District
from meeting the deadline for installation of electrical components within the project boundaries; and
WHEREAS, due to the facts set forth above, competitive bidding would be unavailing and would not
produce an advantage to the District, and the advertisement for competitive bids and the delay that
would therefore result, would be undesirable;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Directors that the recitals set forth above
are adopted as findings and for the reasons set forth herein finds that competitive proposals for the
above described concrete products for the electrical system would be unavailing, would not produce
an advantage to the District; further, the advertisement for competitive bids and the resulting delay
would be undesirable.
BE IT RESOLVED FURTHER that District staff is hereby authorized to dispense with competitive
bidding for this project and purchase Jensen Pre-cast Concrete Products.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Board of Directors at a meeting duly called and held within the
District on the seventh day of July 1999 by the following roll call vote:
