ADDITIONS 1. EC 2.1400(3) is added to clarify that the city intends to use all authority granted by the new state law. 2. EC 2.1405 is added to require the city manager to adopt rules that advise staff of the classes of contract that are exempt from the public contract laws under the new state law. 3. EC 2.1410 is added to describe the city council's duties and powers as a contract review board as set forth in the new state law. 4. Definitions have been added as needed to interpret the new city council regulations. Added terms include "concession agreement," %ontract price," %ontract review board," %ooperative procurement," "debarment," "disposal," "emergency," "energy savings performance contract," "findings," "invitation to bid," "offeror," "Oregon Public Contracting Code," "person," "proposal," "request for proposal," "services," %olicitation," "solicitation agent," %olicitation documents," %urplus property," and "telecommunications services." 5. EC 2.1425 is an expansion of EC 2.1230(3) that describes the process by which the city council, as the city's contract review board, may create special selection, evaluation and award procedures for, or may exempt from competition the award of, a specific contract or class of contracts. This section complies with new state law. 6. EC 2.1430 restates prior city law concerning exempt classes of contracts, with the following additions and changes: a. EC 2.1430(2)(b) and (c) are a restatement of the new state law that provides for the award of medium-sized public improvement contracts an informal quote procedure. b. EC 2.1430(2)(e) creates a new exemption from bidding that will avoid delays that would otherwise deprive the city of the opportunity to take advantage of private funding and development activities to build small public improvements at significant cost savings, if all other public contracting conditions, including the payment of prevailing wages, are met. c. EC 2.1430(4) requires the use of a formal request for proposals for hybrid contracts such as design/build and CM/GC contracts, for which selection by bid would be inappropriate, and follows the Attorney General's Model Rules of selection for energy savings performance contracts. d. EC 2.1430(6)(c) expands the exemption for police dogs to include other animals. e. EC 2.1430(6)0) exempts the sale of abandoned vehicles or other property. The treatment of abandoned property is heavily regulated by other provisions and state law and the Eugene code and this provision will allow the city manager to promulgate rules that utilize modern methods, including electronic auction. f. EC 2.1340(6)(k) is not a new exemption but clarifies that a contract may be renewed in accordance with its own renewal terms.
