Find that in accordance with Section 3.08.070(C)(2) of the City’s Municipal Code, there is no competitive advantage to be gained by bidding on this project since the City of Lawndale performed a competitive bid process, which is consistent with the City of San Jacinto standards, and is unlikely to yield better results for the City;
