BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF JACKSONVILLE, ARKANSAS, THAT: SECTION 1: Pursuant to Arkansas Statutes Annotated Section 19-4425, we hereby waive the requirements of competitive bidding in regard to the purchase of uniforms for the Police and Fire Departments. SECTION 2: The requirements of competitive bidding in this instance would 'not be feasible or practical in that the only other company in the area who is a supplier of uniforms, Farrios, Inc., has failed to perform the contract satisfactorily in the past requiring cancellation of said contract. The only remaining competitor for these uniforms is Schneider's of North Little Rock, Arkansas, who has submitted reasonable quotes and, under these circumstances, competitive bidding would be fruitless, nonproductive, and costly to the City. SECTION 3: We hereby authorize the City of Jacksonville's Police and Fire Departments to contract with Schneider's of North Little Rock, Arkansas, for the purchase of uniforms for the employees of the Police and Fire Departments. SECTION 4: That all ordinances or parts of ordinances in conflict herewith are hereby repealed to the extent of any such conflict. APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 2nd DAY OF JANUARY, 1986.
