TDPUD Water Wise Demonstration Garden
WHEREAS, the Conservation Department is implementing a TDPUD Water Wise
Demonstration Garden; and
WHEREAS, Specifications and Contract Documents were prepared and put out to bid per
District requirements; and
WHEREAS, A bid opening was held at noon, Thursday August 13, 2009; and
WHEREAS, No bids were received; and
WHEREAS, The District received no benefit from the competitive bid process and believes
that significant benefit can be derived by negotiating directly with potential bidders; and
WHEREAS, Public Contract Code Section 20201 generally requires that the District seek
competitive bids and let contracts to the lowest responsible bidder for complete projects for
new construction or projects for any alteration, maintenance, or repair, if the costs of
materials, supplies and labor exceed fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000); 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 orwould not produce an advantage and the
advertisement for competitive bids would thus be undesirable or impractical, a public
agency may dispense with competitive bidding; 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 advertising for competitive bids
would not produce an advantage to the District and would be undesirable; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Directors that it adopts the above
stated recitals as its findings.

advantage to the District and would be undesirable and costly.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the District shall therefore dispense with further
competitive bidding for the installation of the TDPUD Water Wise Demonstration Garden.
