Memo
Re: Resolution No. 09-09 -Waiving Competitive Bidding Requirements for
Purchase of Alcoholic Beverages for 2009 Dublin Irish Festival
Summary
Attached for Council's consideration is Resolution 09-09 waiving competitive bidding
requirements for the procurement of alcoholic beverages for the Dublin Irish Festival (DIF).
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 alcohol beverage sponsor of the DIF 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 alcohol (beer) for the 2009 DIF are
estimated at $120,000. Appropriate funding for this purchase has been authorized by the Dublin
City Council in the 2009 operating budget.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of Resolution 09-09, waiving competitive bidding for the purchase
of alcohol for the 2009 Dublin Irish Festival.
