Town attorney to draft procurement ordinance; council to drop lowest-bid requirement
Summary
The council asked the town attorney to draft a procurement ordinance for introduction in November mirroring another town’s example, but removing the requirement to accept the lowest bidder.
Town Attorney Lyndsey Ryan presented a proposed procurement policy revision example and explained proposed increases to procurement thresholds. The council requested she draft an ordinance for introduction at the November meeting that mirrors the example provided with the exception of removing the requirement for the town to accept the lowest bidder.
Ryan's presentation focused on threshold increases and the council's preference to retain discretion rather than automatically accepting the lowest bidder. The minutes show direction to draft the ordinance; no ordinance language was adopted at this meeting.
