RE: Report of vendors receiving over$300,000 in 2018
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, I
had 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 were paid$300,000 or more annually.
This report for 2018 is 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. 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. I believe that this
improves our level of accountability. Engineering consultants are typically chosen based on their
experience. We continue to use contractors for an 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.
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.
