2. Authorization to purchase 30 Carnival Dual Waste receptacles is exempt under the common-sense
exemption, California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), as the
purchase of public trash and recycling receptacles to replace existing trash receptacles will facilitate
waste reduction. Additionally, receptacles installed would replace existing equipment therefore the
project is also exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 (Existing Facilities). Installation
work would be categorically exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15304 (Minor Alterations to
Land) as any impacts related to installation of the receptacles will be temporary.
3. Finds that the unique circumstances related to the community-selected design and sole availability of the
produce from a single California distributor justify a sole source purchase and is additionally exempt
from the City's purchasing requirements pursuant to Gradon v. Pasadena Redevelopment Agency(1980)
104 CA3d 631 and therefore the City's purchasing requirements were satisfied with this purchase.
