Re: Resolution No. 28 -13 - Waiving Competitive Bidding Requirements
for the Purchase of Beer for the 2013 Dublin Irish Festival
Summary
Attached for your consideration is Resolution 28 -13, waiving competitive bidding requirements for
the procurement of beer for the Dublin Irish Festival. Section 8.04 (c) of the Revised Charter
authorizes Council, by a vote in favor of no less than five (5) members, to waive the competitive
bidding requirement if it determines that such waiver is in the best interest of the City.
This year, as in past years, the beer sponsor of the Festival is Killian's Irish Red. In addition, we
have added Guinness as a sponsor in 2013. Their parent companies — MillerCoors for Killian's and
Diageo for Guinness -- will each pay a sponsorship fee to the City of Dublin.
We will offer the following beer products for sale during the Festival: Killian's Irish Red, Coors
Light, Coors, Guinness and Blue Moon. Superior Beverage Group of Columbus is the sole
distributor for all of the MillerCoors and Diageo products in Central Ohio.
Expenditures for the purchase of beer for the 2013 Festival are estimated at $160,000. Appropriate
funding for this purchase has been authorized by Council in the 2013 operating budget.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of Resolution 28 -13, waiving competitive bidding for the purchase of
beer for the 2013 Dublin Irish Festival.
