From the meeting
At the October 26, 2026 board meeting, staff proposed amendments to Section 2 - Purchasing of the Buffalo Grove Park District Business Manual. The changes aligned the manual with state law by raising the competitive bidding threshold for supplies and materials to $60,000 while keeping the $30,000 work threshold. Staff also said they were working with legal counsel on a broader overhaul of the Business Manual beyond this section.
Decision state: scheduled for board approval.

Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
