Summary
The Town Attorney will draft a procurement ordinance for November that raises threshold amounts and removes a requirement to accept the lowest bidder, per council direction.
Trappe — The Trappe Town Council on Oct. 2 directed Town Attorney Lyndsey Ryan to draft a procurement ordinance for introduction at the November meeting that follows a model used by another town but removes the requirement that the Town accept the lowest bidder.
