TITLE
The Mayor and City Council shall discuss and possibly take action on a request to approve expenditure exceeding $25,000 for the remainder of Fiscal Year 2017/2018 pursuant to the City Purchasing Code, Article IV, Section 3-213(e) "Cumulative Annual Purchasing in Excess of $25,000" with the vendor listed/noted on the attached spreadsheet, "Big O' Tires". Discussion and Action.
AGENDA ITEM DESCRIPTION
Per the City Purchasing Code contained in Chapter 3, Article IV, Section 3-213(e) "Cumulative Annual Purchasing in Excess of $25,000" of the Maricopa City Code, expenditures that exceed $25,000 need to be approved by City Council prior to the execution of purchase orders. Since it is impossible to predict the precise time certain operational expenditures will meet or exceed the $25,000 threshold and to keep operations running smoothly, the staff requests approval of this expenditure in excess of $25,000 but not to exceed $100,000 without further approval from Council.
This request is to continue the utilization of Big O' Tires. All purchases are reviewed to ensure maximum practicable competition, and to ensure prices are current.
CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Mayor and City Council approve expenditure exceeding $25,000 for the remaining of Fiscal Year 2017/2018 pursuant to the City Purchasing Code, Article IV, Section 3-213(e) "Cumulative Annual Purchasing in Excess of $25,ooo."
