Town manager to propose procurement-code changes to ease small purchases
Summary
Manager Suzanne Harvey proposed lowering procurement burdens by replacing RFPs for projects over $10,000 with a three-quote requirement and giving the Town Manager emergency spending authority up to $35,000; the Council directed staff to draft an ordinance.
Town Manager Suzanne Harvey told the Council the Town’s procurement code has not been updated in years and that the current RFP requirement for projects over $10,000 is no longer practical. She suggested requiring three competitive quotes for smaller projects and giving the Town Manager authority to approve emergency expenditures up to $35,000.
Town Attorney Thomas Benavidez agreed with the proposed direction. Mayor Johann Wallace directed staff to bring the suggested changes back to a future meeting as an ordinance for formal consideration; no ordinance was adopted at the March 26 meeting.
