Specifically, Section (b) states, "When the City Council determines, in accordance with <br />applicable law, that a competitive market does not exist and that no competitive advantage will be gained <br />by the public bidding process". In addition, Municipal Code 3.08.140 Section (e) also states, "When the <br />City Manager determines that it is in the best interest of the City and its administrative operations to <br />dispense with public bidding for non-public projects under this chapter. Prior City Council concurrence <br />with the City Manager's determination shall be required for non-public project purchases over $100,000." <br />Staff feels that it is in the City's best interest to continue with our standardization of equipment and <br />uniformity efforts by having the same meter reading system, and as McAvoy & Markham Engineering <br />and Sales Co., Inc. is the only vendor authorized to distribute Itron meters to the Southern California <br />region, there is no competitive market and no advantages to be gained by public bidding. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: <br />Electric meters will be purchased into the Electric Department's Meters account number 520- <br />8000-8024-3890-0107-000 and funds for this requirement are included in the Proposed FY <br />09/10 Electric Utility Budget. <br />Budget <br />Year -to -Date Expenditures <br />Open Encumbrances <br />Available Funds <br />520-8000-8024-3890- <br />FY09/10 <br />FY 09/10 <br />Proposed Budget for FY <br />0107-000 <br />09/10 <br />$186,345 <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: <br />None <br />CONFLICT OF INTEREST: <br />(Exact Company Name) ITRON <br />President: (Name & Title) Robert D.
