EXHIBIT A FINDINGS IN SUPPORT OF ORDINANCE NO. 20542 ADOPTING PUBLIC CONTRACTING CODE PROVISIONS ORS 27913.085 and 279C.335 authorize the City Council, upon adoption of appropriate findings, to establish special selection, evaluation and award procedures for, or exempt from competition, the award of a specific contract or classes of contracts. Pursuant to that authority the City Council has, after a public hearing thereon, adopted Ordinance No. 20542, which establishes classes of contracts and the solicitation methods for their award, as set forth in Section 2.1430 of the Eugene Code, 1971, together with the following specific findings in support thereof, or a determination that no findings are required. No Findings Required The City Council is not required to adopt findings with respect to the solicitation methods and awards of the following classes of contracts identified in Section 2.1430 of the Eugene Code, 1971 ("EC"): EC 2.1430(4) — Special Procurement Class Exemptions; (b) Amendments; (i) Insurance; and (1) Renewals. EC 2.1430(5) — Contracts Required by Emergency Circumstances. The above Rules govern subjects specifically authorized by state law and therefore require no local exemption. Specific Findings for Public Improvement Exemptions The City Council approves the specific findings for the exemptions for each class of public improvements established in the provisions described below and also finds that the establishment of each class of contracts and the methods approved for their award: Is unlikely to encourage favoritism in the awarding of public improvement contracts or substantially diminish competition for public improvement contracts; and 2. The awarding of public improvement contracts under each exemption will result in substantial cost savings to the city. EXHIBIT A - FINDINGS PAGE 1 OF 12
