Title
A substitute charter ordinance relating to special requirements for single and sole source contracts.
Sections
16-05-4-b am
Analysis
Currently the charter provides that no waiver granted for requirements of single and sole source service contracts may be for a contract of longer than one year in duration or may extend the contract for longer than one year after issuance unless otherwise approved by the committee on finance and personnel. This ordinance establishes that these restrictions apply only to waivers for emergency situations; waivers granted for services provided by the actuary designated under s. 36-15-13 and services related to proprietary products or services, or procurements authorized under separate common council action shall not be subject to these restrictions.

Part 1. Section 16-05-4-b of the city charter is amended to read:
16-05. Purchasing by Purchasing Director.
4. SINGLE AND SOLE SOURCE CONTRACTS, SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS.
b. The purchasing director shall report the circumstances surrounding any waiver granted under par. a to the committee on finance and personnel within the following 2 regularly-scheduled common council cycles following the issuance of the waiver. No waiver granted >>for an emergency situation under par. a<< may be for a contract of longer than one year in duration or may extend the contract for longer than one year [[after issuance]] >>in duration<< unless otherwise approved by the committee on finance and personnel.
Part 2. This is a charter ordinance and shall take effect 60 days after its passage and publication, unless within such 60 days a referendum petition is filed as provided in s. 66.0101(5), Wis.
