a van mounted striping truck for the purpose of painting
roadway paint stripes; and
WHEREAS, the aforementioned striper truck must be capable
of spraying water base paints and be fixed to a vehicle chas-
sis of more than 18,000 pounds gross vehicle weight; and
WHEREAS, van mounted striping trucks are built on a
custom made basis to customers' specifications by four Ameri-
can manufacturers; and
WHEREAS, Norris Paints, a division of Morton Internation-
al, Inc., of Salem, Oregon, has offered to sell to the City of

spraying water base paint with a chassis rated at 18,000
pounds gross vehicle weight for the sum of $110,000.00 FOB
Yakima plus applicable tax; and

WHEREAS, a market does not exist for used late model
custom built van mounted striper trucks with the aforemen-
tioned characteristics, now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF YAKIMA:
1. The City Council finds and declares that the purchase
of one used 1991 van mounted striper truck from Norris Paints,
a division of Morton International, Inc., is a sole source
purchase because such striper trucks are custom built items
for which there is no known used market thereby making the bid
process useless in this case.
2. The City Manager is hereby authorized and directed to
purchase one van mounted striper truck, model year 1991,
denominated TMT127P, from Norris Paints, a division of Morton
