Page 3 of 3 Revised 12/19/2020 My department’s recommendation for sole source is based upon an objective review of the product/service required and appears to be in the best interest of the City of Everett. I know of no conflict of interest on my part or personal involvement in any way with this request. No gratuities, favors, or compromising action have taken place. Neither has my personal familiarity with particular brands, types of equipment, materials or firms been a deciding influence on my request to sole source this purchase when there are other known suppliers to exist. I hereby certify that this justification for sole source procurement is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief. / Signature (Requestor) Date Printed Name: Julie Willie Title: Community Development Director DEPARTMENT DIRECTOR Based upon the above, I authorize the sole source acquisition of the goods or services specified.

Sole source procurements may be made directly from a sole source supplier without soliciting additional competition if there is clearly and legitimately only one source capable of supplying the commodity that result in only one source. In the event the commodity is available from only one supplier, a Sole Source Justification Form must be completed and provided to the Procurement Manager. When a single or annual proposed sole source purchase exceeds the Council authorization limit, the Purchasing Manager must seek the City Council’s approval, by resolution, that there is only one source. The resolution will recite the factual basis for the exception from competitive procurement.
