The Purchasing Division will notify the supplier of the contacts in user departments for their products or services. It is important to relieve any doubt or misunderstanding that could be corrected through a product demonstration. Demonstrations are also valuable to evaluate new products in their working environments. No prior appointment is necessary, however to assure that the necessary participants are available, calling ahead to schedule an appointment is strongly encouraged. The City does not have a local preference law enacted.
All purchases are open to any responsible vendor so interested.
It is the policy of the Purchasing Division to maintain and practice the highest possible standards of business ethics, professional courtesy and competence in all dealings. At all times, applicable laws must be scrupulously observed. Provide for and allow fair and equal treatment to all vendors. Assure the confidentiality of all quotations prior to the award. Remain free from obligation to any vendor or their representative.
