14 WHEREAS, this purchase for, seventy thousand dollars
($70;000.00) is substantially less than the two hundred and
15 fifty. thousand dollars ($250,000.00) it would.take to purchase
16 new trolleys for this purpose, and

19 ($50,000..00),
20 NOW, THMIEFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF
21 THE CITY OF LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS:
22 Section 1. The City Manager is authorized to purchase two
23 trolley cars in an amount not to exceed seventy thousand dollars
24 ($70,000.00) to be used for the downtown business district
including the River Market District. This purchase is to be made
25 after receipt of written assurances from Arkansas Louisiana Gas
26 Co. that rehabilitation costs will be paid by that company.
27 Section 2. Because the cost of these two trolleys is
28 substantially less than that required to purchase new trolleys
and, because Arkansas Louisiana Gas Co. will pay the cost of
29 rehabilitation, it is impractical and unfeasible to bid for this
30 purchase and, therefore, competitive bidding is waived.
31 Section 3. Money for this project shall come from Account
32 No. 210 - 040 -0370.
