Memo
Re: Resolution 28-07, Waiving Competitive Bidding Requirements for the Purchase of
Alcoholic Beverages for the 2007 Dublin Irish Festival
Summary
Attached for your consideration is Resolution 28-07, waiving competitive bidding requirements for the
procurement of alcoholic beverages for the Dublin Irish Festival (D1F). Section 8.04 (c) of the Revised
Dublin Charter authorizes Council, by a vote 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 years past, the alcoholic beverage sponsor of the D1F is Killian's Irish Red. In exchange
for the sponsorship dollars and advertising support provided by Killian's, the DIF serves products only
offered by Coors, the parent company of Killian's Irish Red. Superior Beverage Group of Columbus is
the sole distributor for the Killian's Irish Red and Coors products in central Ohio. Expenditures for the
purchase of alcoholic beverages for the 2007 DIF are estimated at $80,000. Appropriate funding for this
purchase has been authorized by the Dublin City Council in the 2007 operating budget.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of Resolution 28-07 at the Monday, May 7 Council meeting.
