'`.e our $5,000 cap for needing to receive competetive quotes. <br /> Overall, I am not surprised by the price of the actual seed as the per pound rate very closely matches the prices we <br /> have paid in the past. This in combination with the fact that they really are a sole source provider, makes me <br /> comfortable with the purchase overall. I realize that we need to have sole source providers preapproved. In the <br /> future we will do a better job of documenting these types of arrangements and working to carefully ensure that <br /> when a seed order surpasses the $5,000 limit we will follow the sole source approval process. <br /> Thanks much, <br /> Trevor Taylor <br /> Natural Area Restoration Team Supervisor <br /> Parks and Open Space Division <br /> Eugene, Oregon <br /> 541.682.4888 <br /> From: AANDERUD Kris <br /> Sent: Wednesday, December 12, 2007 7:56 AM <br /> To: Eugene Purchasing <br /> Cc: TAYLOR Trevor H <br /> Subject: RE: Override of 2008010866 <br /> Hi Jamie, <br /> I do not have any quote documentation, but Trevor might. Please note that it was Jean Jancaitis who was in charge of this <br /> project when quotes would have been solicited and she is no longer with the City. The 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.gorsegnerCa�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.
