Town manager seeks procurement-code changes to speed routine purchases
Summary
Town Manager Suzanne Harvey asked the Huachuca City Council to update the procurement code to allow the Town Manager to approve routine, budgeted expenditures without a full RFP and to authorize emergency spending up to $35,000; the council directed staff to return an ordinance.
Town Manager Suzanne Harvey told the council the procurement code had not been updated in years and that current dollar thresholds no longer match the cost of routine projects. Harvey proposed requiring three quotes instead of a formal RFP for projects under the previous RFP threshold and recommended authority for the Town Manager to approve emergency expenditures up to $35,000.
Town Attorney Thomas Benavidez said he agreed with Harvey's assessment. Mayor Wallace directed staff to prepare and bring back an ordinance at the next meeting to reflect the proposed changes.
