Latest version.
  • The city commission may authorize the purchase of any materials, tools, apparatus, equipment or other goods or things, the consideration or cost of which shall exceed six thousand dollars ($6,000.00), from or in conjunction with any state or local governmental agency without advertising or accepting bids provided that such agency shall have first advertised and received competitive bids thereon. Otherwise no contract shall be entered into by the city for the purchase of any materials, tools, apparatus, equipment or other goods or things, the consideration or cost of which shall exceed six thousand dollars ($6,000.00), until specifications shall be prepared therefor and published advertisement made for sealed proposals thereon, provided, however, that by a vote of five (5) of the members of the commission elect, such contracts, the consideration for which shall not exceed twelve thousand dollars ($12,000.00) may be made without advertisement. The city shall in all cases have the right to reject any or all competitive bids, and shall not be obligated to purchase from the lowest bidder.
