Employee Information Worksheet. Telephone Quotations are taken for items of small value or where time limits, sole source, or emergency conditions prevail. When a vendor is contacted for a telephone quote, the vendor must provide a firm price, delivery time, and cash terms. When an award is made, the Buyer will give the successful bidder a purchase order number over the phone, and a confirming order is mailed. When a purchase order is issued, quotation information becomes public and a recapitulation of prices is filed by bid number in Room L43.
Vendors are welcome to review the results during office hours.
Any contact with the DWP prior to award of the contract must be made through the Director of Corporate Purchasing Services. Formal proposals are publicly opened and declared. Bids should be submitted well in advance to assure receipt in time for the specified opening. Late bids will not be accepted, no exceptions. Board actions are subject to review and action by the Los Angeles City Council.
