CALIFORNIA, DISPENSING WITH COMPETITIVE BIDDING AND

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE:
1. That the foregoing facts are deemed to be true and correct and a basis for dispensing with competitive bidding and authorizing the execution of an agreement with a single source.
2. That pursuant to Glendale Charter Art. VI, Sec. 9 provides that competitive C:\inetpub\wwwroot\multitenant\temp\CC_05212024_Resolution_8f1.pdf2 bidding shall not be required for contracts with other governmental entities, or their contractors, for labor, materials, supplies or services.
3. That, the City manager is hereby authorized to execute an agreement with CALNET for the provision of all telecommunication services which are available, and an option to renew upon approval of the City Manager.
