Next Resolution 1020
AGENDA ITEM: A
DATE: October 12, 2022
TO: Mayor Boudreau and City Council
FROM: Chris Phillips, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: KITSAP COUNTY INTERLOCAL COOPERATIVE CONTRACTING AGREEMENT
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
City Staff recommends City Council authorize the Mayor to enter into an agreement with Kitsap County
for cooperative contracting.
INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND:
Chapter 39.34 RCW, the parties wish to establish a cooperative governmental purchasing agreement,
whereby one party may use the other party's competitively awarded contracts when it is consistent with
those awards and applicable law and when it is in their individual interest.
Cooperative contracting provides a more efficient and effective procurement practice that saves time
when utilizing city and/or state funding: the public procurement process is complex, and conducting a
comprehensive solicitation requires staff resources that may already be at capacity; Reduces costs;
Connects agencies with Top Suppliers; and delivers on going value to our residents.
When federal funding is involved, cooperative purchasing agreements can still be utilized, however, the
formal RFP process must be adhered to ensure competitive bidding process considerations are met,
then the city may pursue the advantages of cooperative purchasing.
FINDINGS/CONCLUSIONS:
This process saves time and money and is supported by City Staff.
RECOMMENDATION:
City Staff recommends City Council authorize the Mayor to enter into agreement with Mr. Moore.
ATTACHED:
Kitsap County Interlocal Agreement

agreement with Gunnerson Consulting, for services related to the leases, agreements,
requested modifications, and negotiations of cellular communication towers. The total cost of
this agreement is $15,000 annually.

In total, there are eleven lease agreements that are managed by the City.

for by cellular companies as they request modifications to existing lease agreements.
