SOLE SOURCE PURCHASE RESOLUTION NO. 4229 <br /> A resolution for waiving the public bidding requirements for the sole source purchase from <br /> Ameritech Library Services of Provo, Utah, for automated library system software and <br /> maintenance. <br /> Whereas, the Everett Public Library requires computer software for their Automated Library <br /> System; and <br /> Whereas, Ameritech Library Services offers the only automated library system software that <br /> meets our needs; and <br /> Whereas, the product offered by Ameritech Library Services was evaluated by representatives <br /> from the Library and found be the only software designed for libraries our size with the desirable <br /> patron interface and public library features; and <br /> Whereas, continuing to use the software offered by Ameritech Library Services will reduce the <br /> need for retraining both staff and patrons; and <br /> Whereas, the software offered by Ameritech Library Services is compatible with the file <br /> structure of the bar code labels affixed to the library collection, thus avoiding the need to re-label <br /> significant portions of the collection, <br /> Now, therefore be it resolved by the City Council of the City of Everett that the purchase of this <br /> automated library system software and maintenance is clearly and legitimately limited to a single <br /> source, Ameritech Library Services of Provo, Utah, and that the Purchasing Division is <br /> authorized to purchase this software without soliciting competitive bids as long as we have the <br /> system.
