Finance Committee - 04/07/2021 Page 25
Mr. Ibarra
| am sure we have that information available. | am not sure that would be posted on the website for the City
though.
Alderwoman Lu
OK so yeah if you could provide that, that would be helpful for my due diligence. Thank you.
Mr. Ibarra
Sure, you’re welcome.
Mayor Donchess
So 584 what it says, it talks about when bidding is not required. And one of the items there are a number of
different circumstances, but one of the items is purchasing under extensions of contracts when no price
increase exceeds 10% per year. So that’s the provision that has been referred to in some of these contract
extensions that have come forward. They still need approval of the Finance Committee.
Alderwoman Lu
Mr. Mayor may | just follow up.
Mayor Donchess
Yeah.
Alderwoman Lu
(Audio cuts out) | just want to be clear, is that | thought that in the past, we have always been given the current
prices and forgive me for saying it so bluntly so that we can see that it does, in fact, not exceed 10% per year. |
could be wrong but that’s my recollection and that is what | would expect because we do usually get pricing. |
am not asking for a plethora of contracts. But that’s what | am asking for, thank you.
Mayor Donchess
Ok. Alright, anything else on this item? Could you please call the roll?
