§ 4.04. Competitive bidding.

Latest version.

It shall be policy of the city to give ample opportunity for competitive bidding prior to making any purchase or contract or letting any contract for improvements. The council may authorize exceptions to this policy for appropriate reasons such as emergencies, contracts for services of a specialized, professional or technical character or for contracts involving small amounts. When authorizing contracts without requiring competitive bidding, the council shall state the reasons why competitive bidding is deemed inappropriate. In giving opportunity for competitive bidding, the city may use any method deemed fair and reasonable to notify prospective bidders.
