selection process. However, utilizing QRFs fits with the City's Triple Bottom Line goals <br />and allows us to establish a contract without doing a solicitation. Overall, this change <br />would provide some flexibility that the City would enjoy but would come at the detriment <br />to the QRF firms who are providing valuable employment opportunities. I believe it best <br />that the City not take a position on this and I will closely monitor any proposed <br />amendments. <br /> <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Mike Penwell CS-FAC 01/14/2011 -- -- <br /> <br />Comments: I defer to Mia Carriaga and Jamie Garner. <br /> <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Paul Klope PWE 01/14/2011 -- -- <br /> <br />Comments: I defer to Mia Carriage and Jamie Garner. <br /> <br /> <br />HB 2966 <br /> <br />Relating Clause: Relating to public contracting for services; declaring an emergency. <br /> <br />Title: Prohibits contracting agency from awarding public contract for services to bidder or <br />proposer that performs services outside United States. <br /> <br />Sponsored by: By Representative DEMBROW (at the request of Oregon AFL-CIO) <br /> <br />URL: http://www.leg.state.or.us/11reg/measpdf/hb2900.dir/hb2966.intro.pdf <br /> <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Jamie Garner CS-FIN 01/20/2011 Pri 3 Oppose <br /> <br />Oppose unless amended <br />Comments: to more specific wording regarding the performance of the <br />services, perhaps the percentage of the services performed, etc. <br /> <br />While I would guess that the amount of contracting that the City does with firms that <br />perform the services outside of the country is minimal I do know that we have had <br />contracts with firms in Canada and one vendor who resides a portion of the year in <br />France. I understand the intent of this bill is to protect jobs but I fear that the impact on an <br />increasingly globalized workplace would negatively impact competition. Would this <br />apply to U.S.-based consultants working on reports for the City whilst travelling as a part <br />of their consulting job? This bill appears to be too restrictive. <br /> <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Mike Penwell CS-FAC 01/14/2011 -- -- <br /> <br />Comments: I don’t see this bill as having any appreciable effect on City public works or public <br />improvements. I will defer to others to provide a recommendation on this bill. <br /> <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Jenifer Willer PWE 01/19/2011 -- -- <br />37 <br /> <br /> <br />
