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 James H.
Olson, Assistant City Engineer to Steve Hall and Brian Almquist dated April 12, 1995
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 result in substantial cost savings.
The Board resolves that an exemption be granted as follows:
Granite Street To Water Treatment Plant Sanitary Sewer Project. The reservoir
access road section of the Granite Street to Water Treatment Plant Sanitary Sewer
Project consisting of the installation of a 6-inch service line from the beginning of the
access road to the water treatment plant is exempted from competitive bidding. The
