3.08.140(E), find that it is in the best interest of the City and its administrative operations to dispense with the City’s normal formal competitive bidding process and authorize the above purchases using Alliant’s competitive process, since the City’s competitive bidding process is not amenable to the purchase of these insurance policies and Alliant’s competitive process is a thorough and competitive which is an appropriate alternative to the City’s formal public competitive bidding procedures. j.
