Latest version.
  • Except as otherwise provided by ordinance or general law, the purchasing agent may, without notice, advertise for the securing of competitive bids or quotations, make any purchase of personal property, or do any other thing which he is authorized to do in this chapter; provided, however, that in the event he purchases any individual item (as distinct from the total contract) costing more than ten thousand dollars without securing competitive bids or quotations thereon, he shall report such action to the board of supervisors with his reasons therefor; and provided further, that if he does call for competitive bids or quotations, and accepts any bid or quotation other than the lowest upon any individual item costing more than five hundred dollars, he shall likewise report such fact to the board of supervisors.
