ee 3 esaaiom OF OSHAWA'S FIRE DEPARTMENT wach VARIED SERVICES IN THE COMMUNITY WOODS, GORDON REPORT Say Purchasing Agent Should Be Independent Editor's Note: Following fs another in the series of articles dealing with the Woods, Gordon Report on civic administration. The article deals with suggest- ed procedures for the re- cently -- city pur- chasing agent. Woods, Gordon and Company, in its 65-page report on Osh- awa's civic administration, ap- suggested job description for the recently engaged city pur- chasing- agent. "In general," W-G report au- thors stated, "the pur mendations to the finance com- mittee for a decision. "In the case of a department head who reported to the di- rector of operations, the latter would arbitrate on questions of quality or refer to the finance committee on questions of policy. "This procedure would have several advantages. As long as the lowest tender was accept- able a matter need come be- fore council only once, when it was decided to call tenders. However, if the amount of a tender was ciritical in'a deci- sion to proceed with a job, il could always require a agent is required to provide a service to all departments of as possible, satisfactory It was pointed out in the sec- tion dealing specifically with the city's recently appointed purchasing agent pool rend to report before tenders were accepted. "In the normal course of events this would not be nec- essary, but the results of all tenders would still be available to aldermen from the clerk. The need to refer to the finance committee 'when less than three bids were received would be a control on purchasing practic, since it is the purchasing agent's duty to obtain as many bids as possible, "At the same time, this pro- ak cedure would also draw alder- department heads and report to the proposed director of opera- tions rather than to the treas- urer as he does now." men's attention if specifications -iwritten by departments were too restrictive for open compe- tition. PIPE BUYING "We are in general agree- ment with the procedure being followed by the purchasing agent at present and have also discussed with him some future plans. For example with recent changes in tax legislation there no longer seems any reason for the city to buy sewer pipe on behalf of contractors who can purchase their own and send a or the inspection report to Note: The first recommenda-| the "With the appointment of a 'purchasing agent, the city's ten- dering procedure has changed. This is an area where it is im- controls of prospective bidders and at the same time keep formality to a minimum. We therefore suggest the following proce- dures: SEALED TENDER BOXES "Sealed tender boxes should be set up in the city clerk's office. All tenders would be ad- presence of the purchasing the department head could substitute for the depart- ment head or the purchasing agent if either were absent. Tender openings would be pub- lie, "When tenders were opened mit his recommenda- : finance committee. If the department head and the sing agent disagreed, would submit their recom- firm listed 15 At the same time the city has -|for some time been carrying an inventory of large diameter pipe which is unlikely to be used. This could well be sold and the money used elsewhere. "We agree, too, with the pur- chasing agent's policy of keep- ing inventory as low as possible since most city needs can be procured with only one or two days' lead time. Direct ship- ments to a job will often be pos- sible rather than routing them via stores. SCALE FAVORED "At present, suppliers must weigh in at the city scale down- town before delivering to the city yard. We suggest that the economics of installing a scale at the new yard be considered, This would. involve a com- -|parison of the installatien and operation costs with benefits of security, lower _ delivery charges, if any and the con- venience of weighing outgoing mended duties as laid down in the Woods-Gordon report section dealing with the purchasing agent: 1. "Develop and operate pur- chasing precedures which will ensure minimum cost to the city consistent with satisfactory quality and delivery. 2.' "Maintain a follow-up sys- tem on original orders to en- sure delivery as promised and to expedite delivery where necessary. 3. "Establish and operate stor- age facilities for city supplies and maintain appropriate per- petual inventory records. MATERIAL INVENTORY 4. "Keep inventory of mater- jals at a minimum consistent with the required security of supply and economic purchase| quantities. 5. "Operate the city's printing service, Maintain records of printing costs for comparison] with purchased printing and to enable make or buy decisions which will keep printing costs at a minimum. 6. "Establish and maintain purchase history records and material specifications to en- sure satisfactory delivery and quality control. 7.
