D. Section 2-807(d) exempts from competitive bidding purchases from vendors whose names are on current established lists and have been awarded the same type of contract by another public agency following a competitive bidding process determined by the City's purchasing manager to be substantially equivalent to the City's. E. On December 4, 2019, the City of Rancho Cucamonga awarded an agreement (No. 19-187) to Contractor for street tree maintenance services after a competitive bidding process that was determined by the City's purchasing manager to be substantially equivalent to the City's process. F. Accordingly, the City wishes to enter into an agreement with Contractor for tree maintenance services based on the same scope of services and pricing.
