MEMORANDUM
TO: Members of Dublin City Council
FROM: Timothy C. Hansley, city Manager I
SUBJECT: Purchase of Mosquito Spray without
Formal Advertising and competitive Bidding
.- DATE: July 13, 1995
BY: David L. Harding, Director of Personnel & Purchasing ~
j'JIl"lllf
Attached for your consideration please find Ordinance No. 68-95
authorizing the purchase of mosquito spray without formal
advertising and competitive bidding. Staff is recommending that
formal advertising and competitive bidding procedures be waived for
the reason that an immediate need exists for this spray and there
is not sufficient time to conduct formal bidding procedures.
Earlier in 1995, the City purchased an initial quantity of spray at
a cost of $8,800 under the assumption that such quantity would be
sufficient, given the mosquito levels experienced in Dublin the
past couple of years. However, a larger than anticipated quantity
of spray is now needed due to the fact that an unusually wet Spring
and Summer have led to an uncharacteristically large mosquito
population which requires more frequent spraying . Given the
greater demand for spraying, the initial quantity will be exhausted
within about two weeks. It is now apparent that an additional
expenditure in the range of $10,000 - $20,000 is required. Given
that stock levels will be exhausted in about two weeks and the
health risks associated with an uncontrolled mosquito population,
the emergency purchase of additional mosquito spray is no doubt in
the best interest of the public health, safety, and welfare. Staff
..... therefore, recommends that formal advertising and competitive
bidding procedures be waived in order that stock levels can be
-- immediately replenished.
