HomeMy WebLinkAbout30. Report of vendors receiving over $300,000 in 2019 Oshkosh
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Russ Van Gompel, Finance Director
DATE: April 6, 2020
RE: Report of vendors receiving over$300,000 in 2019
In 2012, the City Council adopted a revised purchasing ordinance. The revisions were intended
to provide flexibility to staff in purchases, particularly for capital projects. At the same time,
however, some of the authorities granted the City Manager were overly broad and were
amended to provide some Council oversight for larger purchases. One of the provisions to
improve accountability was a requirement that the City Manager provide an annual report to
Council that highlights all vendors and/or contractors that were paid $300,000 or more annually.
This report for 2019 is attached for Council's review. There is no formal action required with
these reports; however, some items are worth noting.
Most of the large purchases are due to Public Works contracts which were competitively bid.
One item that requires the most explanation is those expenditures made to consulting firms,
primarily engineering firms associated with capital projects. These types of contracts previously
did not require any Council approval. Any contract over $75,000 now requires Council
approval. This improves our level of accountability. Engineering consultants are typically
chosen based on their experience. The City continues to use contractors for art ongoing period
when projects of a similar nature continue over several years. It is often difficult to reorient a
new contractor to a facility or a project when another firm is already well-versed in it. This is
often what results in a consulting firm getting more individual work from the City.
The above explanation provides an overview of how certain vendors and/or contractors are paid
from the city. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
