ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING REPAIRS TO A CITY FIRE TRUCK.
WHEREAS, There presently exists a problem with the pump transmission in
pumper #7 which must be repaired; and
WHEREAS, Use of the formal competitive bidding procedure would
unnecessarily delay the required repairs immediately essential to
the operation of the pumper.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF VAN BUREN, ARKANSAS:
SECTION 1: That the Mayor and Fire Chief are hereby authorized to contract
with Wilson Fire Apparatus, Inc, of Van Buren, Arkansas to
repair pumper #7 by repairing the pump transmission and other
related repairs at the agreed cost of $7,760.78.
SECTION 2: That because of the immediate need of the repairs for the
continued use of the pumper, the necessity of the pumper for the
public safety of the citizens of Van Buren, and the delay which
would be necessitated by the formal competitive procedure, a
unique and exceptional situation exists and bidding by the City
of Van Buren is not feasible or practical, therefore, the
requirement of competitive bidding is waived.
PASSED AND APPROVED THIS 26TH DAY OF JANUARY 1998.
