AN ORDINANCE WAIVING THE REQUIREMENTS OF FORMAL
COMPETITIVE BIDDING FOR THE PURCHASE OF
MISCELLANEOUS OPERATING EQUIPMENT, RELATED FUEL
DISPENSING EQUIPMENT/TRANSACTION EQUIPMENT AND
COMMUNICATION EQUIPMENT WHICH IS COMPATIBLE WITH
CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE OWNED EQUIPMENT UTILIZING THE
"GASBOY " TRADE NAME AND FOR UTILIZATION WITH CITY
OWNED VEHICLES AND EQUIPMENT.
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS=
Section 1 . The City Council hereby waives the requirements of formal competitive
bidding for the purchase of miscellaneous equipment consisting of fuel dispensing equipment, fuel
control equipment, transaction equipment, communication equipment and related items which can
be utilized in conjunction with the currently owned "Gasboy" Fuel Dispensing Equipment. These
items will be utilized to upgrade currently operating items owned by the City of Fayetteville. Said
bid requirements for purchasing items of this nature would limit the ability to locate and operate
specialized items of equipment which could prove to increase efficiency of the operation. As these
purchases will give the City the flexibility to upgrade the current equipment without the
expenditure of the base items needed to operate various fuel dispensing locations, said bid
requirements would prevent the flexibility needed to acquire equipment in the time frame
necessary to maintain a proper operational level . Therefore, it would not be feasible or practical
to take and award formal competitive bids.
Section 2 . The City Council hereby authorizes representatives of the Budget and
Research Division and the Fleet Operations Division to locate and obtain said equipment and to
negotiate the purchase and installation of said equipment in a time frame necessary to properly
maintain an acceptable operational level of the City owned and contracted fueling facilities, and
to make the necessary recommendations to the Mayor.
Section 3 . The City Council hereby authorizes the Mayor to review these negotiations
prior to authorizing the purchase and installation of the necessary items required by Section 1 and
Section 2.
Section 4. The maximum dollar amount to be expended for said purchase and
installation is not to exceed $32,770.00.
