MEMORANDUM
TO: Members of Dublin City Council
FROM: Timothy C. Hansley, City Manager
SUBJECT: Cooperative Purchasing Program with the Ohio Department
of Transportation
DATE: March 15, 1990
BY: David L. Harding, Director of Personnel & Purchasing
Attached for your consideration please find Resolution No. 14-90
authorizing the City of Dublin to participate in the cooperative
purchasing program offered by the State of Ohio through the Ohio
Department of Transportation. In addition, also attached please find
a description of the program for your reference.
As noted under roman numeral II on the attached handout, a similar,
but separate, program has been implemented by the Ohio Department of
Administrative Services, Office of State Purchasing which the City has
been participating in over the past two years and which has also been
very beneficial to the City.
The chief benefit to the City for participating in such programs is
that it eliminates the need for the City to develop its own bid
specifications & documents and administer its own formal competitive
bid process, all of which can be very time consuming and can require
several weeks to complete. With the ODOT program, as well as the ODAS
program, Staff does not have to devote valuable staff time to the
aforementioned activities yet the City still benefits from a competi-
tive bid process administered by the State of Ohio. In addition, in
some cases, the prices available through these program can be lower
than if the City administered its own bid process, primarily due to
the fact that the State specifies larger quantities in their bid
documents.
Based upon the aforementioned advantages, Staff recommends that
Council authorize the City to participate in the cooperative purchas-
ing program with the Ohio Department of Transportation.
