SUMMARY
This policy establishes the authority and procedure for simplified bidding, a procurement method used for transactions below the official sealed bidding threshold but above the best judgment threshold, when a mandatory contract cannot meet the need. It outlines requirements for soliciting bids from at least three appropriate bidders, documenting efforts to obtain bids, and recording quotes. Agencies must also ensure purchases do not exceed allowable thresholds and avoid serial contracting.
This was decided in a budget meeting long before the RFP was public. Civic IQ had it then. The next one doesn't have to get away.
