8 WHEREAS,the City, in Little Rock,Ark.,Ordinance No.20,148(August 18,2009), determined that
9 broadband services could be bid based upon qualifications instead of simply the lowest responsible and
10 responsive price to assure that any equipment the City needed could be easily made a part of the City's
11 broadband and information technology systems; and,
12 WHEREAS, it is still important to accomplish this objective, but from time to time aspects of a
13 broadband services bid can be subjected to competitive price bidding without the creation of
14 interconnection problems for the City; and,
15 WHEREAS, when such a bidding package is appropriate, the City Manager can approve that all or
16 part of the bidding packaa proceed as a price bid,a qualifications bid,or a mixture,
after consultation with
17 the relevant department heads about the scope of the immediate project;
18 NOW,THEREFORE,BE IT ORDAINED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE CITY

26 word of this ordinance is declared or adjudged to be invalid or unconstitutional such declaration or
27 adjudication shall not affect the remaining portions of the ordinance which shall remain in full force and
28 effect as if the portion so declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional were not originally a part of the
