Page 2 of 3 Revised 1/5/2022 <br />Discuss how similar goods or services <br />are unable to meet the required <br />objective. <br />The existing GIS suite has been customized to integrate with current city <br />operations and fulfill multiple city objectives within a single software system. <br />Other potential solutions would not seamlessly integrate with current city <br />operations and would require the city's resources to identify and transition to <br />another solution that meets multiple city operational objectives. <br />Describe your efforts to identify <br />other potential sources. <br />Per the attached letter, ESRI is the sole provider of all municipal government <br />enterprise agreements for municipalities with a population of more than 15,000. <br />ESRI is the only source for maintenance on all ESRI software. Procurement staff <br />validated this information by conducting internet research and searching the <br />manufacturer's website. <br />List any other facts supporting the <br />use of a non-competitive process. <br />If required to solicit a new software solution, it would necessitate large-scale <br />coordination among multiple city divisions to identify compatible software and <br />test it to ensure that current uses are maintained. Changing the software <br />solution would also require staff to re-enter years of data into any potential new <br />software solution. <br />Is this a one-time procurement? <br /> No* Yes <br />*If an on-going sole source procurement is required, include or attach an <br />estimate that shows total annualized expenditure for each year. <br />PRICE REASONABLENESS (Check all that apply and attach back-up documentation) <br />I determined that the price is fair and reasonable because: <br /> I compared the proposed price to prices I previously paid for the same or similar goods and/or services. See PO # . <br />Specify price: <br /> I compared the proposed price to current published catalog, price lists, or market prices as documented in the <br />attachments and the proposed price is similar or less. Attach relevant documentation. <br /> I compared the proposed price to rough yardsticks, such as dollars per pound, per horsepower, or other units of <br />measure and did not discover significant inconsistencies that warrant additional pricing inquiry. <br /> Based on my knowledge of the market, my experience of prior similar proposals, or knowledge imparted by <br />technical experts. <br /> The price is set by law or regulations. <br /> Market research reveals that same or similar goods or services are available for a similar price. <br /> Other: ________________________________________________________________________ <br /> Back-up documentation is attached. <br /> <br />Explanation of above-checked justification: <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />STATEMENT OF NEED AND CERTIFICATION: <br />My department’s recommendation for sole source is based upon an objective review of the product/service required and <br />appears to be in the best interest of the City of Everett. I know of no conflict of interest on my part or personal <br />involvement in any way with this request. No gratuities, favors, or compromising action have taken place. Neither has my <br />personal familiarity with particular brands, types of equipment, materials or firms been a deciding influence on my <br />request to sole source this purchase when there are other known suppliers to exist. <br />I hereby certify that this justification for sole source procurement is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge <br />and belief. <br /> <br /> <br />Signature (Requestor) Date <br />Printed Name: Mark Wamsley Title: Utilities GIS Program Manager
