Title

Ordinance amending Title 5, Chapter 6 Municipal Purchasing Procedures

Body

SUMMARY: Staff requests the following changes to the Municipal Purchasing Procedures:

1)                     Authorize City Manager to approve purchases in an amount under the state bid threshold ($25,000)

2)                     Allow the City’s bid threshold to change as state law allows ($25,000)

3)                     Allow the amounts required for purchase orders and requisitions to increase to $2,500 and $5,000 respectively

The request is being made due to a rise in the cost of equipment and materials and to allow the City’s bid threshold to change as state law allows without an ordinance amendment.
