SUBJECT: Purchase of Outdoor Warning System Components
DATE: April 4, 1995
BY: David L. Harding, Director of Personnel & Purchasing ~
Attached for your consideration please find Ordinance No. 28-95
authorizing the purchase of outdoor warning system components
without formal advertising and competitive bidding. $70,000 was
recently approved for this purpose in the capital improvements
program budget and this budget assumes the replacement of two
existing sirens together with the addition of two new sirens.
It is the objective of staff to purchase and install the required
components in an expeditious manner; however, in order to meet this
objective, it is critical that the purchase of these components be
authorized without formal advertising and competitive bidding. In
this regard, staff recommends that pursuant to Section 8.02 of the
DUblin Charter and Section 735.051 of the Ohio Revised Code, formal
advertising and competitive bidding be waived and the purchase of
these components be authorized as an emergency measure. Given that
the outdoor warning system may be called into service at any moment
and, therefore, should be in peak condition, the emergency nature
of this purchase is justified. With tornado season fast approach-
ing, the emergency purchase of the required components is no doubt
in the best interest of the public health, safety, and welfare. In
addition, for reasons of compatibility with the existing system,
staff also views this as a "sole source" purchase. Staff has
"""'" identified only one vendor who manufactures the components that
would be fully compatible with our needs, which adds further
credence to staff's recommendation to waive formal advertising and
competitive bidding procedures.
Mr. Balbir Kindra, City Engineer will be in attendance at the April
10, 1995 Council Meeting to discuss the specific details regarding
the Engineering Division's plan and schedule for the replacement!
addition of the sirens and to answer any questions you may have.
