Purchases over $25,000 will be processed by the Bid & Contract staff following the formal procurement procedures. Formal procurements are conducted in the form of an Invitation for Bid (IFB) or Request for Proposal (RFP).

Formal Solicitations are awarded by City Council for construction related projects and professional services. All other formal solicitations are administratively awarded by the Purchasing Director. An administrative award requires a seven (7) day posting period. These postings are located on a public notice board located in the Purchasing Office.
