DATE ISSUED: March 22, 2024

PROPOSED SERVICE: Ice Hockey Officials

PROPOSED PROVIDER: Wasatch Ice Hockey Officials Association, Inc

REQUESTING DEPARTMENT: Ice Arena

Please take notice of Park City Municipal Corporation’s (PCMC’s) intent to waive a competitive procurement process. PCMC Procurement Rule 5-3 provides that the competitive procurement requirements may be waived under circumstances where there is a reasonable justification and the waiver is in the best interests of PCMC.  The Procurement Official has determined that a waiver is appropriate for a contract for ice hockey officials in the amount of $59,000 to provide ice hockey game officials based on the information below:

Waiver Justification:

Awarding the contract through a Standard Procurement Process is impractical and not in the best interest of PCMC because procurement of the services is unlikely to produce competition.

There is only one provider for USA Hockey sanctioned Ice Hockey Officials in the State. The only alternative to using this vendor is to provide the service in house. Attracting, hiring, training and maintaining enough USA Hockey certified game officials and administering the service in house would be very challenging and not in the best interest of the City.                                                                    

*To submit comments regarding this Notice of Proposed Waiver, please email Amanda Angevine at amanda.angevine@parkcity.org within seven days of the date of posting.
