A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA,
WASHINGTON, REJECTING THE BID SUBMITTED BY NORTH SKY
COMMUNICATIONS, FOR THE GREEN RIVER VALLEY SIGNAL
INTERCONNECT PROJECT, AND AWARDING THE BID TO TOTEM
ELECTRIC, INC., IN THE AMOUNT OF $194,905.00.
WHEREAS, sealed bids were received for the Green River Valley Signal Interconnect
Project; and
WHEREAS, bids were opened and read aloud by the City Clerk's office on March 26,
2004, and the apparent low bidder was North Sky Communications, whose proposal was in
the amount of $142,22516; and
WHEREAS, upon examination and inquiry by City staff of the North Sky
Communications bid documents, it was determined that the bid documents submitted by
North Sky Communications included a modification stating that they did not include the
required sales tax incidental to each bid item, and therefore the bid submitted by North Sky
Communications has been determined to be non responsive; and
WHEREAS, the disclaimer on the bid proposal makes North Sky Communications bid
unreliable, and as unreliable bids must be rejected in the public's interest, North Sky
Communication's bid must therefore be rejected as non responsive; and
WHEREAS, Totem Electric, Inc., submitted the next lowest bid of $194,905 00 including
the incidental sales tax; and
WHEREAS, upon examination and inquiry by City staff, the City of Tukwila determined
that Totem Electric's bid is responsive,
