EXCERPT FROM THE PALO ALTO MUNICIPAL CODE
Section 2.30.360 Exemptions from competitive solicitation requirements.
The following are exemptions from the informal and formal competitive soiicitation requirements
of this chapter. It is expected that the exemptions will be narrowly applied. The department
requesting an exemption shall provide all relevant information supporting the application of the
exemption to the purchasing manager. Based on this information, the purchasing manager shall
make a recommendation to the city manager and the city manager shall determine whether an
exemption from competitive solicitation requirements applies. Nothing herein is intended to
preclude use of competitive solicitations where possible.
(b) Situations where solicitations of bids or proposals would for any reason be impractical,
unavailing or impossible provided that in the case of a public works project, the project is not
otherwise required by the Charter to be formally bid. These situations are those where
solicitations of bids or proposals would not be useful or produce any advantage for the city.
Situations where solicitations of bids or proposals would be impractical, unavailing or impossible,
include, but are not limited to, the following:
(1) Specifications cannot be drawn in a way that would enable more than one vendor or
contractor to meet them;
(2) Due to circumstances beyond the control of the city, the time necessary to use the
competitive solicitation process procedures and requirements would result in a
. substantial economic loss to the city, or the substantial interference with a required city
operation.
(c) Where competitive bids or requests for proposals have been solicited and no bid or proposal
has been received orno bid or proposal meeting the requirements of the invitation to bid or
request for proposal has been received, provided that, in the case of a public works project, the
project is not otherwise required by the Charter to be formally bid.
(d) Contracts for goods, wholesale commodities and related services, general services or
professional services available from only one source where there is no adequate substitute or
equivalent provider. Examples of acceptable sole source purchases are: equipment for which
there is no comparable competitive product, proprietary products sold directly from the
manufacturer, a component or replacement part for which there is no commercially available
substitute and which can be obtained only from the manufacturer, items where there is only one
authorized distributor in the area, and items where compatibility with items in use by the city is an
overriding consideration. All requests for sole source purchases shall be supported by written
documentation (facsimile or electronic mail may be used), approved by the office br department
head and forwarded to purchasing.
(e) Contracts for goods where, pursuant to Section 2.30.900, the city manager has determined
that standardization of the supplies, materials or equipment is permissible.
U) Contracts with any public agency or governmental body to obtain goods and/or services that
meet either of the following criteria:
(1) Cooperative purchases where the city participates with one or more other
governmental or public agencies in a cooperative agreement, provided at least one of the
agencies has used solicitation process methods substantially similar to those required by this
chapter; or
Attachment D -Page 1 of 2
(2) The use of another governmental or public agency's contract provided the
original parties to the contract agree, the contract was awarded within twelve months of
the date the city contracts for the goods and/or services, and the contract resulted from
solicitation methods similar to those required by this chapter.
