LCRB RESOLUTION
Recitals:
A. AMC § 2.50.030.B permits the Ashland City Council sitting as the Local
Contract Review Board to exempt contracts from competitive bidding if it finds:
1. The lack of bids will not result in favoritism or substantially diminish
competition in awarding the contract; and
2. The exemption will result in substantial cost savings.
B. This ordinance provides that in making such findings, the Board may
consider the type, cost, amount of the contract, number of persons available to bid,
and such other factors as the Board may deem appropriate. Where appropriate, the
Board shall direct the use of alternate contracting and purchasing practices that take
account of market realities and modern or innovative contracting and purchasing
methods, which are also consistent with the public policy of encouraging competition.
C. In order to exempt a public contract from competitive bidding, the Board
shall adopt written findings that support the awarding of a particular public contract or
a class of public contracts without competitive bidding. The findings must show that
the exemption of a contract or class of contracts complies with the requirements of
AMC § 2.50.030.B.
The Board adopts the information contained in the memorandum from Susan Wilson
Broadus to the Mayor and City Council dated November 1, 1996 as findings justifying
the exemption. The Board finds that this exemption will not result in favoritism or
substantially diminish competition in awarding the contract and the exemption will
rssuit in substantial cost savings.
The Board resolves that an exemption be granted as follows:
Deign and Construction of Roca Creek Improvement Project. This project is
exempted from competitive bidding. The c'~ shall use requests for proposals (RFP) as
the alternative method in selecting a qualified designer/contractor. The RFP shall set
forth the specific criteria upon which the selection shall be made and how the
proposals submitted in response to the RFP will be evaluated. The criteria will utilize
the qualifications described in the memorandum referred to above and shall be
specific as to final product envisioned by the city. Cost shall be evaluated as a factor,
but shall not be the sole determining factor in awarding the contract.
