Effect on Competition. Requires complete and open competition to the same pool of potential contractors that would be qualified to respond to an invitation to bid. No Favoritism. Requires complete and open competition to the same pool of potential contractors that would be qualified to respond to an invitation to bid. Other Factors. The city has never awarded a CM/GC contract under an invitation to bid. The city is not aware of any other state or federal agency that awards CM/GC contracts under an invitation to bid. Allowed by state law, subject to compliance with ORS 279C.337. Specific Findings for Special Classes and Methods of Award for Contracts Other Than Public Improvements. The City Council approves the specific findings for the establishment of special solicitation methods for the classes of public contracts described below and also finds that the establishment of each class of contracts and methods approved for their award - 1 . ward: 1. Is unlikely to encourage favoritism in the awarding of public contracts or substantially diminish competition for public contracts because such exemptions still require alternative contracting procedures, ensuring: (1) reasonable competition; (2) the best contract price for the public; and (3) a cost-effective process for both contractors and the city; 2. The awarding of public contracts under the exemption will result in substantial cost savings to the city because the city will avoid costs associated with unnecessary documentation and procedures, where it is unmerited by the type and/or relatively low cost of the project; and 3. The awarding of public contracts pursuant to any of the requested exemptions also substantially promotes the public interest in a manner that could not practicably be realized by formal competitive solicitation procedures, given the fact that such exemptions facilitate smooth operation of city's administration and operations, include procedures and mechanisms to ensure the best product, service or outcome is obtained at the least cost to the public and city, and identified classes address areas of public contracting left unresolved by state statute which are essential for city operations, such as the purchase of used personal property, and the disposition of surplus personal property.
