GENERAL: ORDINANCE 1288 (#21-06)
AN ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR CREATION OF JMC §3.08.070; FOR THE ADOPTION OF
A REVERSE INTERNET AUCTION OPTION FOR PURCHASE OF GOODS AND SERVICES;
AND, FOR OTHER PURPOSES.
Finance Director Paul Mushrush related that last year the State
Legislature granted municipalities the opportunity to sell goods through
a procedure known as a reverse Internet auction, explaining that a
reverse Internet auction is when a vendor low bids to sell. He stated
that the structure meets all purchasing law criteria, adding that this
process would widen the pool of available vendors to cities. He
explained that the bid is advertised and specifications are sent back by
the vendor in advance of the auction. He noted that prior review of the
vendor specifications would clean up the process regarding
disqualification of vendors not meeting specifications. He related that
one limitation is that the minimum item cost has to be anticipated at
$50,000.00 or more. He noted that in some cases State contract purchases
would still be more cost feasible, such as multi-vehicle purchases.

Alderman Stroud related that the present equipment is antiquated being
over 12 years old, adding that the equipment purchase is partially
budgeted. He further explained a cost savings through sole sourcing the
purchase.

equipment is obsolete it is not possible to obtain repairs, explaining

budgeted items into the Capital Equipment fund under EMS. He explained

chosen among the EMS staff, adding that it is adaptable to the AED’s on
each fire truck. He stated that they also tested an AutoPulse,

compressions. He stated that Zoll is the only company in the United
