project when quotes would have been`lolicited and she is no longer with the City. new wetlands ecologist will not be <br /> on board until January 1. We are just a bit short staffed out here.... It is my understanding that the City has done business <br /> with this vendor in the past for similar product/process. Since it is so specialized. there may be documentation from <br /> previous purchases as well. Sorry that I can't be of more assistance. Mia may have more info, so we can certainly wait <br /> until she gets back and takes a breath... Thanks.

Mia will be back tomorrow and Jeff P. thought she may <br /> know about it. I also have a call in to Trevor to see if he possibly got his own quotes. <br /> Sarah Gorsegner <br /> Purchasing Program Specialist <br /> 541.682.5055 <br /> sarah.c.gorsegner @ci.eugene.or.us <br /> From: AANDERUD Kris <br /> Sent: Tuesday, December 11, 2007 11:20 AM <br /> To: Eugene Purchasing <br /> Cc: TAYLOR Trevor H <br /> Subject: RE: Override of 2008010866 <br /> Hi Jamie, <br /> I just had a chance to speak with Trevor Taylor on this invoice. I am attaching a copy for your review. <br /> Trevor informed me that this is not for trees, but for specialized seed that is grown specifically for <br /> the Eugene area from Eugene native plants. Pacific NW Natives is a sole source provider for this <br /> product. Jean Jancaitis "reserved" the seed in Jan or Feb of this year. The grower then grows the <br /> crop and harvests the seed. They ship us the seed and we plant this in our wetlands. We pay them at <br /> the end of the process, after we receive the seed. <br /> If you have more specific questions, Trevor would be your best bet. He can be reached at x4888. <br /> Thanks a million for your assistance. Sorry to have led you astray.

I'm looking and the most recent RFQ for the purchase of trees does not include Pacific <br /> NW Natives as an offeror. Can you tell me who submitted the invoice for payment and I'll follow up with <br /> them to determine if this purchase was made based of an RFQ out of our office?
