8 WHEREAS, a user survey of the City's 3 -1 -1 Customer Service System has determined that an addi-
9 tional eighteen (18) concurrent user licenses are necessary due to the number of actual users on the sys-
10 tem simultaneously; and
11 WHEREAS, competitive bidding should be waived and the contract for eighteen (18) additional user
12 licenses should be awarded to Motorola, Inc. as the sole source provider of the licenses, in order that

14 chased with the original contract with Motorola;

19 shall be awarded to Motorola, as an exceptional situation exists and competitive bidding is impractical
20 and infeasible.

22 enter into a contract with Motorola, Inc. for the purchase of eighteen (18) user licenses, in the amount of
