Town attorney to draft procurement ordinance; council seeks to remove lowest-bid requirement
Summary
Attorney Lyndsey Ryan will draft an ordinance for November that mirrors a sample procurement policy revision but omits a requirement to accept the lowest bidder, after council discussion on increasing procurement thresholds.
The Trappe Town Council asked Town Attorney Lyndsey Ryan on Oct. 2 to draft a procurement ordinance for introduction at the November meeting that would mirror a recently adopted example from another municipality, with the exception of removing a requirement to accept the lowest bidder.
Ryan presented the sample revision and explained proposed increases in procurement amounts. Council members discussed the change and directed Ryan to prepare an ordinance for the next meeting.
The minutes do not record the specific procurement thresholds under consideration or the sample town named in the example.
