Sec. 7.15. Methods of
Source Selection
A. All
purchases shall be made by competitive procedures except:
1. Where otherwise authorized by law or ordinance. 2.
As specifically provided in Sections 7.18 through 7.21. 3.
Where, for good cause shown and in the best interests of the City,
the Chief Administrative Officer authorizes the procurement of
goods or services without strict compliance with the provisions of
this Chapter in order to best serve the general public health,
welfare or safety.
B. The
preferred method of procurement shall be competitive sealed
bidding.
C. Where
only one bid or proposal is received, an award may be made to such
bidder or proposer if the Director determines:
1. that
the price submitted is fair and reasonable;
2. that
other prospective bidders or proposers had a reasonable
opportunity to respond; and
3. that
there is not adequate time for a re-solicitation.
Otherwise, the bid or proposal
may be rejected pursuant to Section 7.22, and the Director may:
(1) cancel the proposed procurement; (2) solicit new bids or
proposals; or (3) proceed with procurement pursuant to Section
7.20 or Section 7.21 as appropriate.
