(q) Temporary use of city -owned property. The city may negotiate and enter into a license, permit or other contract for the temporary use of city -owned property without using a competitive selection process if: 1. The contract results from an unsolicited proposal to the city based on the unique attributes of the property or the unique needs of the proposer; 2. The proposed use of the property is consistent with the city's use of the property and the public interest; and 3. The city reserves the right to terminate the contract without penalty, in the event that the city determines that the contract is no longer consistent with the city's present or planned use of the property or the public interest. (r) Used property. A solicitation agent, for procurements up to $20,000, and the purchasing agent, for procurements in excess of $20,000 may contract for the purchase of used property by negotiation if such property is suitable for the city's needs and can be purchased for a lower cost than substantially similar new property. For this purpose the cost of used property shall be based upon the life -cycle cost of the property over the period for which the property will be used by the city. A record shall be made of the findings that support any purchase over $10,000. (s) Utilities.
