BUDGET AMENDMENT BA #26-10-02
WHEREAS, the City of Seal Beach (City) maintains approximately 1.75 miles of
coastline; and,
WHEREAS, City staff utilize numerous pieces of equipment such as mechanical
beach cleaners to conduct daily grooming activities for debris and trash removal
along the coastline; and,
WHEREAS, the City's existing BeachTech mechanical cleaner (BeachTech) has
been in service for over fifteen (15) years, which is well over the manufacturer
overhaul interval of eight (8) years; and,
WHEREAS, the BeachTech's increased age has led to inefficient beach grooming
operations and increased downtime due to frequent repairs; and,
WHEREAS, Seal Beach Municipal Code Section 3.20.025(B) provides an
exemption from competitive bidding requirements for purchases made through a
single vendor (sole source); and,
WHEREAS, in accordance with the Seal Beach City Charter and Seal Beach
Municipal Code Sections 3.20.025(B), the City solicited quotes for the purchase of
a replacement multipurpose beach rake mechanical cleaner, and also determined
that H. Barber and Sons is the only company that makes a multi-purpose beach
rake mechanical cleaner that picks up both small and large debris, while other
companies manufacture beach rake mechanical cleaners that only pick up small
or large debris; and,
WHEREAS, the City desires to purchase one (1) Barber Surf Rake beach cleaner,
which has demonstrated to be multi-purpose, more operationally reliable and
efficient, as well as having increased service availability due to locally sourced
parts.

determine, and order as follows:
