Report of Vendors Receiving over $300,000 in 2015 & 2016TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council FROM: Trena Larson, Finance Director DATE: March 9, 2017 RE: Report of vendors receiving over $300,000 in 2015 and 2016 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, the City Manager and Staff expressed concerns to Council that some of the authorities granted the City Manager were overly broad and should be 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 who were paid $300,000 or more annually. These reports for 2015 and 2016 are attached for Council's review. There is no formal action required with these reports; however, I think some items are worth noting. Most of the large purchases are due to Public Works contracts which were competitively bid. Items that require the most explanation are 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. I believe that this improves our level of accountability and transparency. Engineering consultants are typically chosen based on their qualifications and experience. We continue to use consultants for an ongoing period when projects of a similar nature continue over several years. It is often difficult to reorient a new consultant 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. This type of work is spread across multiple firms so that we are not overly reliant on one firm for several areas of expertise. I hope these reports satisfy Council's interest in this topic, and that my 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. Cc: Mark Rohloff Finance Director, Trena Larson City Hall, 215 Church Avenue P.O.
