Re: Resolution No. 24 -10 Waiving Competitive Bidding Requirements for the
Purchase of Alcoholic Beverages for the 2010 Dublin Irish Festival
Summary
Attached for your consideration is Resolution 24 -10 waiving competitive bidding requirements
for the procurement of alcoholic beverages for the Dublin Irish Festival. 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 beer sponsor of the Festival is Killian's Irish Red. In exchange for
the sponsorship dollars and advertising support provided by Killian's, the Festival serves beer
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 2010 Festival are estimated
at $130,000. Appropriate funding for this purchase has been authorized by the Dublin City
Council in the 2010 operating budget.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of Resolution 24 -10, waiving competitive bidding for the purchase
of alcohol for the 2010 Dublin Irish Festival.
