Background:
This new microwave system will replace the existing aging/failing microwave system for the water treatment plant facilities. This microwave system provides the water plant facilities with the abilities of telephones, data for computer use, SCADA information from our citywide tank storage facilities, cameras and security systems. With this new system, there will also be a redundant microwave system put in place to provide a secondary path of data communications for the water treatment plant facilities.
The new microwave system will be purchased under the Oklahoma Statewide Contract number 1000005715. All State Departments, boards, Commissions, Agencies and Institutions, as well as Counties, School Districts and Municipalities may purchase items from this contract. Pricing under this contract is good until November 14, 2020.
Section 2-27 of the Broken Arrow Code addresses exceptions to the established competitive bidding process. It provides that supplies, materials, equipment or contractual services when purchased at a price not exceeding a price set by the state purchasing agency or any other state agency authorized to regulate pricing for items purchased by the state are excepted from formal competitive bidding. Purchase from the state contract is, therefore, authorized under City ordinance.
