Minutes May 8, 1985 Page 3 of 5 The Naval Supply Center for the Puget Sound Area has requested that the City bid on the Trident Refit Facility communications equipment Contract per Solicitation N00406- 85-R-0037. The contract would be for four months beginning June 1, 1985. In order to respond, if Council approves, the bid must be in May 9, 1985. Even if the City is not successful bidder, the experience will provide access to additional information for a more knowledgeable offer if we are requested to bid on the next solicitation in the fall of this year. Mr. Glenn She~ard, Communications specialist, was available for questions. He stated that, if awarded the contract, an additional individual may need to be hired on a temporary basis until resubmittal in fall but the revenue generated would more than pay for costs involved. He clarified that the work would be done both at the Trident facility and in City's shops on equipment for mobile vehicles such as radios, recording equipment, etc. Access to the Federal installation is covered already. Bid will be submitted on a competitive basis, comparing government vs private industry costs. Councilman Pachek was against competing with private industry as were several Councilmen in agreement. Councilman Anderson did not feel it would hurt companies like Motorola and feels the effort would be healthy for the cities. Councilman Adrian felt the City already had several contracts such as Paramedic services (Jackson Park/Shipyard), Animal Control (Jackson Park). .City Attorney Bill Broughton advise the Council, legally the City could bid, however it should decide the issue as a Policy matter whether or not we want to get involved. Councilman Sturdivant felt government agencies were here to serve the people and was against City operating like private enterprise. #1948 .

PURCHASE FLOW METER - METER SEWAGE FLOWS FROM JACKSON PARK (NAVY), #AB85-213 The Navy Contract for sewerage service stipulates that City is to meter sewage flow at Pump Station #15 for volumetric billing of sewerage service from Jackson Park.
