PURPOSE: The purpose of this Agenda Item is to give the Commission the flexibility to waive bidding requirements when the Commission finds that it is in the best interest of the City to do so. CONSIDERA TIONS: As written Section 2-152 requires bids for all items over $4000. This is a very rigid provision which fails to provide the Commission with common sense discretion in the procurement process. Unless constricted by other applicable law the proposed amendment will give the Commission the option to waive bidding for a sole source procurement, or the renegotiations of a contract over $4000. ISSUE ANALYSIS: FUNDING: None required. Page 1 - .... RECOMMENDATION: The City Manager is recommending that the Commission adopt the first reading of Ordinance 620, amending Section 2-152 of the City code providing the Commission the authority to waive bidding requirements for procurement in excess of $4000 when it determines such waivers to be in the long term best interest of the City. IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE: This item will be returned to the Commission on June 24, 1996 for second reading and implemented immediately following the adoption of the second reading.
