Res No. 7 January 31, 2018 To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Sharon Addison, City Manager Subject: Rejecting Bid for Pouring Rights at the City Municipal Arena The City Purchasing Department has advertised and received sealed bids for Pouring Rights at the City Municipal Arena per City specifications. Invitations to bid were also issued to four (4) prospective firms, with one (1) bid received and publicly opened and read in the City Purchasing Department on Wednesday, January 24, 2018, at 11:00 a.m. City Purchasing Manager Amy Pastuf reviewed the bids received with Superintendent Erin Gardner and me, and it is our recommendation that the City Council reject the bid received from Coca-Cola Bottling Company in Syracuse, New York, in the amount of $4,000 and repeat the RFP. As noted in the attached report of Purchasing Manager Amy Pastuf, Staff performed an analysis of the product pricing and consideration to determine the advantages of the proposal. Staff also reached out to Pepsi and was advised that they had overlooked the proposal and were not able to finish it in time. A Resolution has been prepared for City Council consideration.
