ORDINANCE NO. 1417 ( #05 -11)
AN ORDINANCE WAIVING COMPETITIVE BIDDING FOR THE PURPOSE OF
CONSTRUCTION, EXPANSION, AND INSTALLATION OF WATER MAIN
LINES AND APPURTENANCES FOR THE JACKSONVILLE WATER WORKS;
DECLARING AN EMERGENCY; AND, FOR OTHER PURPOSES.
WHEREAS, Jacksonville Water Works, in the process of expansion of the
Department's Water Distribution System, had previously solicited bids for the
construction, expansion, and installation of water main lines in an area adjacent to
that commonly referred to as the Hwy. 67 North Corridor Annexation to the City of
Jacksonville; and,
WHEREAS, a particular company, T & R Utilities, of Pencil Bluff, Arkansas,
was the original successful bidder and has installed the Water Works' main line
expansion through the adjacent area, and has the unique ability to continue
construction, expansion, and installation of water main lines and appurtenances to
enhance the Department's main distribution line throughout an additional portion of
the area for the same rate as previously bid in 2010. As a result, solicitation of and
publication for competitive bidding would be of no assistance and would actually
delay installation and availability of needed water main lines and improvements for
the area's water services.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT ORDAINED AND ENACTED BY THE CITY
COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF JACKSONVILLE, ARKANSAS, THAT ::
SECTION ONE: Competitive bidding for the construction, expansion, and
installation of water main lines and appurtenances to enhance the Department's
main water distribution line for the Jacksonville Water Works would be costly and
non - productive, making said competitive bidding unfeasible and impractical.
SECTION TWO: Competitive bidding is hereby waived, pursuant to ACA
14 -58 -383, for the construction, expansion, and installation of water main lines an
appurtenances to enhance the Water Department's main distribution line along the
proposed annexed area for the Jacksonville Water Works. T & R Utilities of Pencil
Bluff, Arkansas, is hereby authorized to construct expand, and install water main
lines and appurtenances to enhance the Water Works' main distribution line as
directed and specified by the Jacksonville Water Works, all for a cost not to exceed
for the Water Works of Eighty -five Thousand Nine Hundred Dollars ($85,900.00),
together with any applicable tax.
