I Mr. Beck: A request for qualifications was issued for outside vendors interested in operating our concessions which have been operated in house. We received four firms that were interested in the operation. These firms were interviewed, references were checked and we are recommending Fruit 'N' Juicy for the service. The contract is through the end of this year. Mr. Mays: I think the Committee as well as the Commission wants to support the department on whatever you think would be best in tem1S of how you can serve the public from an operation standpoint. The question has come to me in reference to us moving it at this time since it was one of those things, when some of the Commissioners wanted to do the privatization situation of it and it had always been a no-no. Mr. Beard: Did you follow the normal purchasing procedures? Mr. Beck: What we have done on Request for Qualifications whieh are RFQ, we have issued those out of our office for architectural RFQ's and we issued this one also. This has been the normal procedure used by our department. Mr. Oliver: Everything should go through Purchasing, there was some confusion on this. I would note that we lost about $23,000 on our concessions last year and that's a conservative estimate. I Mr. Beck: I talked with Mr. Oliver about RFQ's and he had given me the authority to do that. Mr. Beard: Mr. Oliver gave you permission to circumvent the procedure? Mr. Beck: On request for qualifications which is not a bid situatiort, we had done that in the past and we have done that again on architectural qualifications to ask for qualifications, not for bid proposals and this is a similar situation. Mr. Kuhlke: I would like to make a motion that we approve this, but as we go forward that every department in this government go by the procedures that we have adopted here from the standpoint of Purchasing. Motion fails for lack of second. Mr. Brigham: Mr. Chairman I would like to go into Legal Session to obtain some legal advice. Mr. Kuhlke: Second. I I Motion carried unanimously. Legal session Reconvene Mr. Kuhlke: I would like to make a motion that we direct Mr. Beck to ask Ms. Sams to re-advertlse this proposal on a ten-day short fuse and that a recommendation from the Recreation Department come back to us at the May 4 Commission Meeting.
