CO-OPP MEMBERS EXCEL WITHIN THEIR AGENCIES IN THIS ISSUE
An important aspect of being a great
volunteer is the quality of work provided at one’s primary work
location. The ability to work hard within one’s organization provides the foundation for beneficial volunteerism and is encouraged by
CO-OPP.
Recently, the State of Ohio, Department of Administrative Services, General Services Division issued Shining Star awards to employees who performed beyond their normal work duties. The
purpose of the Shining Star recognition program is to identify and acknowledge individuals for their outstanding achievements or
dedication to the performance of their jobs. February recipients were Renee Hinte and Sandy Herrel
recognized for their work with special projects and peer leadership. April’s recipient, Patrice Davis, was recognized for effectively sustaining the program during a time of critical need. Congratulations to these CO-
OPP members for their accomplishments.
Similarly, the Columbus Regional Airport Authority highlights employees that have been identified
as demonstrating excellence, as well
as embracing and exemplifying the Core Values of the Authority on a
daily basis through the President’s Award of Excellence. In April of 2013, CO-OPP members Cindy Collins and Tracy Osborne were of
the eleven Columbus Regional Airport Authority Employees selected to receive the distinguished award. The award is sponsored twice a year by President and CEO, Elaine Roberts. Excerpts from the nominations are below:
Cindy Collins, CPPB Contract & Procurement Specialist On a daily basis Cindy can be found
demonstrating teamwork and a commitment to professionalism in her approach to procurement, even
when faced with challenging deadlines and situations. Noted as a stellar employee, Cindy is known for her friendly and caring demeanor, follow-through and attention to detail that creates an enjoyable
procurement process for all involved.

Have you ever heard the saying
“Everything old is new again?”
After residing at the Beacon
Building at 50 W. Gay Street in
downtown Columbus for more
than 15 years, the City’s
Purchasing Office packed up
and moved lock, stock and
barrel to the old Police
Headquarters located next to
City Hall at 77 N. Front St. The
building underwent extensive
renovation including lots of
energy efficient modifications, a
glass addition on the front of the
building and careful attention to
preserve historic and
architectural features
throughout. Various other City
departments are continuing to
move in as the Purchasing
Office gets settled. Overall the
move went smoothly. Look for
further developments of a
downtown “City of Columbus
Campus”. If you have the
opportunity to pay us a visit,
please do – just watch out for
the construction equipment!
Ongoing….
The City has been working
through a RFP process for new
online Purchasing software.
The City rolled out the Vendor
Services program more than 6
years ago, allowing vendors to
maintain their own profiles,
submit electronic bids, view bid
results and download original
bid packets for submittal. The
program is ready for
replacement and the City sees
an opportunity for software that
can offer more, including a
catalog component. The City
has looked for ways to partner
with suburban communities and
school districts for similar
procurement needs, and a new
program would be very
beneficial in making that a
reality. The committee has
dedicated countless hours to
this project and an award
recommendation has been
made. The coming months will
require a tremendous amount of
hard work and dedication to
bring this program to fruition,
but it is a very exciting
development in City
procurement.
As noted in the last
newsletter, the City of
Columbus sent 21
attendees to the NIGP
3-day “Developing and
Managing Requests
for Proposals in the
Public Sector” training
at the beginning of
May.
As always, Alan
Childress (State of Ohio) and
the CO-OPP Education
Committee handled everything
beautifully and the material
was extremely well presented.
I was so proud of the
professionalism and dedication
of the profession that was
demonstrated to some of my
co-workers unfamiliar to NIGP
and CO-OPP.
As the City’s RFP Standards
Committee continues to
develop standards and
guidelines for use throughout
various City Departments, this
training will be an invaluable
aide. If you have the
opportunity to take this training
session in the future: DO IT!

THE PROCUREMENT EDGE: NEWS FOR THE PROFESSIONAL IN PUBLIC PURCHASING Issue May/June 2013

Ridge Country Club and will feature the Ohio
Schools Council and the General Services
Administration as they discuss the use of their co-

Our growth has meant that it is time to think about where we go from here. Our programming committee is hard at work planning for 2014. We are seeking additional places to hold meetings and looking for suggestions on speakers and topics. Shannon McNulty from the Summit County Executive’s Office and Cara Loughlin from the Cuyahoga County Library are working on taking pictures and starting a newsletter specific to our branch. A Northern Ohio website is in the developmental stages and should be operational in the next few months.
Finally, the Leadership Team is looking at a fund raising event for 2013 and educational seminars for 2014.
Hopefully, we will see you at the next general membership meeting of the Northern Ohio Branch of CO-OPP.

The City of Akron hosted its 5th Annual Green Fair on Friday, May 3, 2013, at Lock 3 in downtown Akron, Ohio. The weather was beautiful and participants enjoyed the sun while viewing what our vendors were displaying.
The purpose of the Green Fair is to educate the business community, the city’s work force and the general public by encouraging the use of green products when performing daily functions.
The Green Fair is an event that was developed from the Green Print for Akron mission to pursue environmental sound practices and reduce the greenhouse emissions within our community. Participants were purchasing, facilities, and equipment maintenance personnel who viewed, tested, and sampled new green products from area vendors.
Numerous vendors participated offering items ranging from hybrid trucks, cars, and equipment to soy-based cleaning products, recycled and recyclable products to energy and fuel-saving technology. There were positive feedback from vendors and visitors alike. The City of Akron is looking forward to hosting the 6th Annual Green Fair in 2014 to continue educating businesses on the importance of ‘Going Green’ and presenting new products and services to support their initiatives.

NIGP Launches New Member Benefit-Nsite
THE PROCUREMENT EDGE: NEWS FOR THE PROFESSIONAL IN PUBLIC PURCHASING Issue May/June 2013
I began taking classes in preparation for the CPPB
exam in November 2010. The classes were very
beneficial not only because of the material presented,
but also the networking experience with other
procurement professionals that were also working
towards the same goal of certification or
recertification.
The other students were able to provide useful tips in
test taking preparation which included what worked
best for them or someone else in their organization and
other collaborative study effort advice.
The NIGP instructors are career professionals that
bring a wealth of knowledge to the classroom. The
instructors were very supportive of the student’s
success and were available to answer questions via
email after the class had ended.
I also took the CPPB online prep course three (3)
months prior to the exam. The prep course was an
excellent tool that tied everything taught in the
previous courses together to enhance my studying
capabilities. There was an emphasis placed on
pertinent information, and the instructor used real life
situations to make the students think about how the
material tied into their roles in their respective
procurement fields.
Another useful tool in my preparation was group
study. Once or twice a week I would meet with
another employee at my agency before work in the
morning. This was extremely helpful because she was
successful in passing the CPPB exam the previous
year. My coworker knew the material and was able to
pinpoint the areas I was weak in and provide guidance
on how I could improve.
The most important thing to do is go to the test taking
site with a “can-do” attitude. Get a good night’s sleep
the night before, relax, read each and all questions
carefully, and give it your best. The key is to remain
positive. Remember, you have spent a lot of time
preparing for this day and now it is time to prove that
you can do it.
Since my experience in obtaining my CPPB was a
good experience, I decided to take the CPPO exam.
With the skills I gained through the NIGP and the
support system I have at my agency, the anxiety I had
in November 2010 has vanished.

The City of Canton, a newcomer to the
Northern Ohio Branch of CO-OPP, is a medium-
sized city of about 75,000 residents in Northeast
Ohio, most famously known as the home of the
Professional Football Hall of Fame and Museum.
Like many cities and counties located in the Rust
Belt, Canton has had its share of challenges in recent
years. Population loss and the downturn in the
economy a few years ago had Canton teetering on the
edge financially. However, the City has seen a bit of
resurgence in the last year or so, due in part to the
Shale/Natural Gas industry. While the City has
righted itself recently, all City Departments,
including the Purchasing Department, are still
charged with doing more with less.
I started as the Purchasing Director in Canton
at the beginning of March of this year. As the new
head of the department (and a Canton native, born
and raised), I have lofty goals for both Purchasing
and the City itself. My first goal, however, was to
simply understand how business in the department
was currently being conducted.
The first thing that struck me was the
difference between the procurement practices in
Canton and the entity I came from – the City of
Columbus. The structure of government is one of the
biggest reasons for the differences. Canton is one of
the largest cities in Ohio that does not operate under a
Charter. As a statutory city, Canton’s structure is
defined by the Ohio Constitution. By extension,
many of Canton’s procurement practices are defined
by law in the Ohio Revised Code (O.R.C.). For
instance, in statutory cities all contracts over $5000
must be approved by the “Board of Control” of that
city. The Board of Control consists of the Mayor, the
Service Director and the Safety Director. It’s an
added step in the procurement process that did not
exist in “my former life” in Columbus.
The other stark difference is the use (or lack
thereof) of technology in the procurement process in
Canton. From my time in Columbus, I have seen
how important technology can be to the procurement
process. The City of Canton, as a whole, is a bit
behind the times when it
comes to the use of
technology. However,
Mayor William J. Healy
II has initiated several
technology upgrades to
Departments across the
City. And the new
Information Technology
Department Director,
Patrick Barton, continues
to take on new projects
with the goal of improvements throughout City
government. Specifically, in the Purchasing
Department, our goals include streamlining
operations through the implementation of an e-
Procurement system and an electronic vendor file. I
will be working very closely with Director Barton in
the coming months to plan and implement these
improvements.
So that’s what’s trending in the City of
Canton. I’m thrilled that CO-OPP has branched out
into Northern Ohio so I can continue to be involved
in the organization. And I look forward to the
continued growth of CO-OPP and the Northern Ohio
branch.

City Trends: What’s Trending in the City of Canton By Randy F. Dublikar, CPPB, City of Canton
THE PROCUREMENT EDGE: NEWS FOR THE PROFESSIONAL IN PUBLIC PURCHASING Issue May/June 2013
This was especially evident during the recent purchase of a new fire truck. Even vendors have provided feedback in regards to her outstanding abilities and focus on
customer service, serving as a role model for all CRAA employees. Tracy Osborne, CPPB Executive Assistant Although Tracy has moved to the Operations Division, she continues to be engaged and assist the Asset
Management Division in the implementation of Asset
Guardian. Starting with her work on the project’s business plan, Tracy continues to be critical to the project’s success through training programs in which she
taught many staff members the skills required for the successful implementation of Asset Guardian. She’s also demonstrated innovation through her feedback and participating in discussions about the program.
It is with great pleasure that CO-OPP recognizes the efforts and work ethic exemplified by its members with a reminder to all members: Greatness begins at home!

The procurement industry is known for being under fire when there is public scandal or a high profile protest shining public light on the industry. Under such circumstances, procurement is viewed through a negative lens; however, when viewed through the creative lens of City of Columbus Fiscal Specialist---Procurement under fire is defined in two words: Adrenaline Rush!
Allow me to introduce, Allison Meade, Fiscal Specialist with the City of Columbus who is an Arc Welder in the evenings and weekends, as well as an Instructor of the craft. Allison has always considered herself a tomboy therefore studying auto mechanics seemed natural. It was during these studies that Allison was introduced to welding through working on cars and subsequently fell in love with the process of welding. The fascination with welding combined with an artistic drive, led Allison to transform old car parts into furniture (Figure 1) and revitalizing discarded materials into lifelong keepsakes.
Allison uses the Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAC) technique, also known as Metal Inert Gas (MIG)
which is a welding process in which an electric arc forms between a consumable wire electrode and the work piece metal, which heats the work piece metal, causing them to melt and join. Contrary to popular belief, this form of welding is relatively safe as long as proper protective gear is worn. Allison teaches classes to novice students who are curious about the craft at Columbus Idea Foundry.
Due to her love for transforming vintage pieces into art, the most difficult part of welding for Allison is learning how to join metals of different thickness and transforming
rusty and dirty items into working materials. Allison describes the art of welding as ‘creatively addictive’ which can lead to an entire weekend spent in the studio working on a new project.
One of her favorite pieces was inspired by a tree falling in her front yard during a storm. The tree partially damaged the house however as a memorial to the tree, Allison created a metal tree which took three 12-hour days to complete. The tree is a constant reminder of the live tree which needed to be removed and a daily reflection of her creativity.
I asked Allison if she were to create a sculpture representing herself what would she make. After thinking for a few moments, she said she would make a metal waterfall composed of various gears and metal parts representing her diverse interests as a professional, artist, welder and her future goals. She would include the initials of her family members and place the waterfall in her garden so when it rained, the water could flow through it bringing everything together!
Lastly, when asked how the procurement industry resembles welding, Allison stated: “I feel people who have never welded are intimidated by the process because of the unknown aspects; however, once they learn the process they can transform anything into art. This resembles procurement because the field isn’t completely understood by the public therefore this can be intimidating. However, once one completes the research and learns to navigate the challenges -the field is transformed into something easily understood.”
