OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS
APPROVING THE ACQUISITION OF A CASE 721
LOADER FROM ELLEN EQUIPMENT, INC.
WHEREAS, Ellen Equipment, Inc. has been renting a Case 721 loader (the
"loader") to the Streets Department for the past nine (9) months; and
WHEREAS, if the City acquires the loader, one hundred percent (100%) of the
$31,500 previously paid in rent to Ellen Equipment Inc. , will be applied to the
purchase of the loader; and
WHEREAS, funds have been budgeted and approved in the Streets Department
budget for 1993 for this purchase; and
WHEREAS, Section 8-160(d) (1) (b) of the Code of the City of Fort Collins
authorizes the Purchasing Agent to negotiate the purchase of supplies and
services without utilizing a competitive bidding process if the Purchasing Agent
determines that although there exists more than one responsible source, a
competitive process cannot reasonably be used or, if used, will result in a
substantially higher cost to the City, will otherwise injure the City's financial
interests or will substantially impede the City's administrative functions or the
delivery of services to the public; and
WHEREAS, the Purchasing Agent has determined that use of the competitive
bidding process will result in a substantially higher cost to the City because
of the loss of the application of the $31,500 in rent to the purchase price; and
WHEREAS, the City Manager has reviewed and approved the justifications for
this acquisition; and
WHEREAS, Section 8-160(d) (3) of the Code requires approval of this
purchasing method by the City Council for items costing more than Fifty Thousand
Dollars ($50,000) prior to acquisition.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS
