ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS:

ORDINANCE 2014-25– Introduced by Mr. Buczek
AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO PURCHASE AN AMOUNT CORRESPONDING WITH THE CURRENT STATE MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM PERCENTAGES OF SALT TONNAGE TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE VILLAGE FOR EACH YEAR THROUGH THE STATE OF OHIO DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION’S CONTRACT FOR SODIUM CHLORIDE; WAIVING COMPETITIVE BIDDING AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.

Mr. Buczek deferred to Mr. DeWater to explain the ordinance. Mr. DeWater stated that originally, in conjunction with other communities, he was going to try to get away from the state contract. However, he stated that ODOT does have the largest buying power and other vendors have informed him that if the Village had a penalty clause in our contracts, they would either not bid it or would raise their rates drastically in order to cover the penalty clause cost. Mr. DeWater stated that both salt companies that he spoke with recommended staying on the ODOT contract to avoid the penalty clause issue. He stated that he is not going to limit the Village to just the ODOT contract; he is going to contract with Ohio DAS and NJPA also. Both those contracts have specialty treated salt and the amount does not need to be declared this early in the year. Mr. DeWater stated that both Ohio DAS and NJPA will be supplied by Cargill.

Mr. Buczek made a motion seconded by Mr. Sherck for suspension of the rules for Ordinance 2014-25.
