That although the City takes the position that competitive bidding is not required for <br />this contract, to the extent it may be required, City hereby waives competitive bidding as Bullard <br />Construction, LLC is uniquely qualified and competitive bidding is deemed to not be feasible or <br />practical due to the involvement of the third party insured. <br />PASSED AND APPROVED this . March 2024. <br />Honorable Rick Elumbaugh, Mayor <br />Denise M. Johnston, City Clerk <br />
