Purchasing will seek quotations based on specifications. The Municipal Code allows the City to award the order to the lowest responsible bidder as determined by the City. You may view current invitations to bid and recent bid results on our website. The evaluation of vendor responsibility will include ability to produce to specifications, record of past performance, financial and technical resources, timely delivery, and other evaluations applicable to the product or service. The City encourages the use of recycled products as long as they meet the specification.
Consideration is given to vendors who use and produce recycled products.
WMB and small businesses are invited to bid on the City's needs. It is City policy to recognize this type ownership and give consideration to their bids in the evaluation process. City of Kirkland vendors are encouraged to seek City business. Goods and materials are approved for payment only after they have been received and inspected. The receiving document is forwarded to the accounts payable section and checks are issued each week.
