11 WHEREAS, after a competitive selection process the Commission on Children, Youth and Families

14 WHEREAS, Pulaski County submitted appropriate responses and were suggested for selection, but
15 failed to meet one of the criteria because of current County purchasing rules; and,
16 WHEREAS, in two (2) instances, Pulaski County was the only qualified respondent, and in the third

21 WHEREAS,rather than delay selection with another competitive selection process,particularly in the
22 two (2) instances where there were no other bidders, in order to get programs and services to Little Rock

24 NOW,THEREFORE,BE IT ORDINANCE BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE CITY
25 OF LITTLE ROCK,ARKANSAS:
26 Section 1. The Board of Directors declares that it is unfeasible and impractical to submit the three(3)
27 contracts listed below to a competitive selection process and still provide the necessary services on a timely
28 basis in 2017, and therefore dispenses with the requirement of competitive selection; provided, however,
29 that this decision applies only to these three(3) PIT Programs for 2017 and is not to be treated as any kind
30 of precedent for future waivers of a competitive process.
31 Section 2. The City Manager is authorized to enter into contracts with Pulaski County as set forth
32 below in the amount of Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars($75,000.00)for 2017:
33 (a) Pulaski County Ages 6-11 Positive Prevention Programs East Little Rock
34 (b) Pulaski County Ages 6-11 Positive Prevention Programs West Little Rock
[Page 1 of 2]

2 Section 3. (a) The term for each contract listed in Section 2 of this ordinance shall be for a period of
3 one (1)-year with a start date of January 1, 2017, and an understanding that the City ratifies, accepts, and
4 will compensate any work done between January 1, 2017, and the effective date of this ordinance.
5 (b) The City, in its sole discretion and upon mutual agreement of the parties, may extend a Contract
6 for a one(1)-year period,not to exceed two(2)additional extensions,one to begin January 1,2018,and the
7 other to begin January 1, 2019.
8 Section 4. The City Manager is also to fund the balance of the contract with Bridge 2 Success for the
9 Hamilton Learning Academy Contract in the amount of Twenty-One Thousand Dollars ($21,000.00),
10 through the end of the school year.
11 Section 5. Funds for these programs are available in the 2017 Budget for Community Programs
12 Department.
13 Section 6. All payments are conditioned upon entry into contracts for services that are in a form
14 acceptable to the City Attorney; further, nothing in this Resolution prevents the City from being able to
15 offer similar services to any vendor during 2017 if, in its sole discretion, it decides to do so.
16 Section 7. Severability. In the event any title, section, paragraph, item, sentence, clause, phrase, or
17 word of this ordinance is declared or adjudged to be invalid or unconstitutional, such declaration or
18 adjudication shall not affect the remaining portions of the ordinance which shall remain in full force and
19 effect as if the portion so declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional were not originally a part of the
20 ordinance.
21 Section 7. Repealer. All laws, ordinances, resolutions, or parts of the same,that are inconsistent with
22 theprovisions of this ordinance, are herebyrepealed to the extent of such inconsistency.,
