City of Culver City, California
City Council Agenda Item Report
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council discuss staff’s proposal to amend various
sections of Chapter 3.07 (Finance and Revenue) of the Culver City Municipal Code
related to contracts and bidding.
BACKGROUND
Section 1304 and 1305 of the Charter of the City of Culver City (Charter) and
Chapter 3.07 (Finance and Revenue) of the Culver City Municipal Code (Code)
provide the legal requirements for the City’s purchasing procedures. These
procedures specify, among other things, the processes to be used by Staff when
making City purchases, when bidding is necessary and how bidding is undertaken
(formal vs. informal process), and the authority of the Chief Administrative Officer to
issue and execute contracts (including purchase orders). Many of the sections in
Chapter 3.07 date back to 1965.
It is the purpose of this report to present certain proposed amendments to the City
Code for the Council’s discussion that would address certain purchasing/bidding
procedures of interest to the City Council and to improve efficiency in the City’s
purchasing.
DISCUSSION
The recommendations included in the attached Ordinance may be classified into two
sections: (1) City Council Interests and (2) Municipal Code Consistency and

City Council Agenda Item Report
Update. In addition, the topic of consideration of doing work “in-house” with City
Employees is also discussed.
City Council Interest
During prior City Council meetings, the City Council has expressed an interest in
updating and clarifying the City’s bidding and purchasing procedures. Generally
speaking, City Council members expressed the following:
The importance of bidding, when practical and cost-efficient, to encourage
competition and achieve lower costs for City purchases;
Limitation, when practicable, continual renewal of contracts to the same
vendor year after year; and,
Clarification of the aggregate limit of contract awards to a single vendor
without City Council approval.
The Chief Administrative Officer is authorized to execute contracts for goods and
services for an amount less than $10,000. This authority is subject to budget
appropriations approved by the City Council.
Municipal Code Consistency/Update
In reviewing the Code, staff discovered several sections that seemed inconsistent or
outdated. As part of this review, Staff is recommending certain code amendments
that will improve clarity and consistency among all areas of Chapter 3.07.
Doing Work In-House
Culver City prides itself on its ability to provide many services directly through our
employees. Many times, the best way to perform duties is through use of our Staff.
Nothing in these proposals is meant to impact or alter the current allocation of duties
amongst staff and outside contracts.
Proposed Amendments
A-1: Contract Signing Authority
The following items refer to existing Charter and/or Code language.
Section 1304 of the Charter states in part: “…Every public works project to be
performed by an independent contractor involving an expenditure of more than City of Culver City, California
City Council Agenda Item Report
Twenty-Five Thousand ($25,000.00) Dollars…shall be let to the lowest responsible
bidder…”
Section 3.07.015 states in part: “…[Every purchase] exceeding Twenty Thousand
Dollars ($20,000.00) shall be by award of formal bid…”
Section 3.07.055 states in part: “…[Any purchase]…involving an expenditure of
Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000.00) or less may be made in the open market
without following formal bidding procedures…The Chief Administrative Officer shall
develop written policies for purchases up to Twenty Thousand Dollars
($20,000.00)”
Section 3.07.070 states in part: “…the City may award purchase orders and
contracts in any amount for personal or professional services without complying
with the provisions of this Subchapter {bidding}…” (bracketed word added) and
Section 3.07.075 states in part: “…The Chief Administrative Officer is authorized to
approve…any contract in an amount not to exceed Ten Thousand Dollars
($10,000.00) for the services described in Subsections 3.07.070 B. and C., subject
to the provisions of Section 3.07.070…”
Proposed Amendments
The use of four different amounts between the language of the Charter and the
Code can be inefficient and somewhat confusing. Therefore, Staff proposes to
replace the fixed amounts with $25,000.00 and remove conflicting language. This
would clarify that all purchases in excess of $25,000.00 or more would be subject to
the bidding process and approval of those contracts by the City Council and all
purchases of up to $25,000.00 would be subject to written policies developed by the
Chief Administrative Officer (CAO’s Policy).
A-2: Limit of Continual Renewal of Contracts to the Same Vendor and
Aggregate Dollar Limit on Contracts
Members did express an interest in reviewing the procedures related to the renewal
of contracts to the same vendor. This interest included contracts awarded in a
single fiscal year and over two or more fiscal years.
To address this interest, a revised CAO Policy will include the following:
Dollar Limits
(1) A limit of $10,000.00 to the signature authority of Department Heads (always
subject to appropriations approval by the City Council);City of Culver City, California
City Council Agenda Item Report
(2) A limit of $25,000.00 to the signature authority of the CAO (always subject to
appropriations approval by the City Council); and,
(3) Contracts in excess of $25,000.00 require the direct approval of the City
Council.
Time Limits
(4) Regardless of dollar amount, contracts awarded to any single vendor shall
not have a term (or be renewed in total) for longer than three consecutive fiscal
years without the approval of the City Council.
Other Items
Additionally, Staff will compile a list of contracts awarded in excess of $25,000.00
over the past three fiscal years. During the budget preparation for Fiscal Year
2006/2007, this list will be segregated into two areas: (1) General Services and (2)
Exempted Services. The contracts for Exempted Services fall under exemptions
from the formal competitive bidding process outlined in the Code (Sections 3.07.065
and 3.07.070). The contracts for exempted services will only be re-bid in the case
the CAO or the City Council determines the bidding process is desired (of if the
contract has an original term or has been renewed for more than three consecutive
fiscal years – please see Time Limits above). The contracts for General Services
will be subdivided into three subsets, each of which will be re-bid in each of the
successive three fiscal years.
This proposed process balances the desire with the practicality of the bidding
process to ensure continued price competitiveness with the costs (in both money
and staff time) of competitive bidding. This will also allow staff to re-bid General
Services contracts over a three year period, thereby avoiding a “landslide” of bidding
processes in a single fiscal year.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
Staff believes implementation of these proposed changes to the Code and
Administrative Policies will result in a positive fiscal impact to the City because of
expected savings and efficiencies. However, the amount of that impact is difficult to
quantify at this time.
