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 Council Communication from Pete
Lovrovich, Director of Electric Utilities, to the Mayor and City Council dated June 15, 1999, as
findings justifying the exemption. The Board finds that this exemption will not result in favoritism
or substantially diminish competition in the purchase of CATV programming, and the
exemptions will result in substantial cost savings.
The Board resolves that an exemption be granted as follows:
PURCHASE OF CABLE TELEVISION PROGRAMMING FOR THE ASHLAND FIBER
NETWORK. Purchases of cable television programming for the Ashland Fiber Network are
exempted from competitive bidding.
