Council requests sealed bids for amphitheater completion and tentatively adopts purchasing policy updates
Summary
Council reviewed amphitheater quotes and purchasing-policy amendments, tentatively accepted updated purchasing rules, and voted to request sealed bids for amphitheater completion; attorney review of contracts was requested before final awards.
Council discussed the status of the city's amphitheater project and amendments to the municipal purchasing policy at the March 5 meeting.
The minutes record that the city has not yet received an updated quote from contractor MRJ; a second vendor, McLeRoy, provided a quote of $126,500. Councilmembers discussed proposed changes to the purchasing policy (first reading conducted March 4) and the thresholds for sealed bids. After debate, Councilmember Stephen Levin and Councilmember Carol Berry moved to tentatively accept the updated purchasing policy unless other issues arise; the motion is recorded as passing 4-0. Council separately moved to request sealed bids for the amphitheater completion (motion CB/SL 4-0). The minutes note the city attorney needs contracts for review before awarding work.
The decisions put the project into a formal procurement phase but do not record a final contract award. Council's actions direct staff to solicit sealed bids and to provide contracts to the attorney for review, preserving competitive procurement and legal oversight before any expenditure is authorized.
