Sec. 2-626
(a) Source selection. Except as provided in this section, all vendor selections shall be made by
the purchasing office. When making the vendor selection, the purchasing office will choose
the lowest, best, responsible, responsive vendor. It is recognized that exceptional
requirements may dictate that the USER is instrumental in selecting vendors. In such cases, it
is necessary that this need be transmitted to the purchasing office with sufficient
documentation as to the reason for the exception. This must be done in advance of any firm
negotiations or commitment with the vendor.
(1) In determining where to purchase products and services based on competitive prices
and costs incurred in obtaining the purchase, the city shall purchase locally when all
of these requirements are equal.
(2) The city shalI not make purchases of products or services from city employees or
councilmembers or from businesses owned by members of these two groups unless
specifically approved by the city council. The city shal1 have the right to piggyback
from other city, county, local authority and board of education_contracts if the vendor
wil1 extend the same prices, terms, and conditions to the city. This source selection
shal1 only be available where competition was used by the other agency to secure the
contract and only for a period of 12-months following entry into the contract by the
other agency. This provision shall not apply for any contract where state law
mandates the city utilize its own competitive procurement process.
