The document contains two City Council policies: OPNS-04 and OPNS-28.
OPNS-04 is a policy that outlines the criteria for disqualifying individuals or entities from doing business with the City of Garland. It states that individuals or entities convicted of certain offenses or fined over $50,000 for discrimination charges are disqualified from doing business with the City. The policy also specifies the types of individuals and entities that are considered to be doing business with the City, such as corporations, partnerships, and shareholders. There are exceptions to this policy, such as if three years have elapsed since the conviction or if the contract does not require City Council approval. Bidders are required to represent that they comply with this policy, and if a violation is discovered after contract award, the contract may be terminated.
OPNS-28 is a policy that addresses conducting business with delinquent account holders and litigants. The policy states that the City will not conduct business with individuals or entities that owe the City money for delinquent accounts, such as property taxes or utility bills, or those involved in meritless litigation against the City. The Managing Director of Customer Services produces a monthly delinquent accounts list, which is distributed to various departments to check before conducting business with any individual or business. The Purchasing Manager is responsible for reporting and removing bids from delinquent businesses or individuals. Compliance with this policy is required for bidders, and contracts will not be awarded to delinquent or irresponsible bidders.
The document also includes a section on the Continuity of Operations Plan, which emphasizes the importance of having a plan in place to ensure the continuity of essential services in the event of a crisis or disruption. The City of Garland requests that suppliers provide information on whether they have a continuity of operations plan and who should be contacted when the plan is activated. The document highlights the potential impact of an influenza pandemic and the need for preparedness in order to maintain the health, well-being, and stability of the community. It acknowledges that the timing of a pandemic cannot be predicted with certainty and mentions the potential for increased absenteeism among workers. The policy emphasizes the requirement for a continuity of operations plan to address such situations.
