op Publishing System
The City of Santa Clarita, in need of a desktop publishing system, advertised
and requested sealed bids from potential suppliers with a bid opening of April
5, 1990, at 11:00 a.m. for bid #GS -89-90-03. One sealed bid was received from
Computerland at 23226 Lyons Avenue in Newhall for $26,286 (includes sales tax).
Our City Attorney recommended that bids be solicited again to obtain at least
three bids for comparison.
Again, we advertised and requested sealed bids from potential suppliers with a
bid opening of April 19, 1990, for bid #GS -89-90-05. We again received only one
bid from the same vendor as in the previous bid (Computerland) for $26,286
(includes sales tax). Three other potential bidders were sent specifications
bud did not respond.
After receiving only one bid for two different requests for bids, Timothy
McOsker, one of our City attorneys, was asked if we legally could award the bid
to Computerland. His response was "Yes, since the City has in good faith
advertised and solicited bids from potential suppliers twice and has received
one bid from a supplier which meets all requirements identified in the bids."
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that staff be directed to purchase a much needed desktop
publishing system from local vendor, Computerland, Newhall, which meets all of
the City's requirements identified in bid #GS -89-90-05.
