Council directs update to procurement code to reduce RFP burden, raise emergency authority
Manager Harvey told council the town's procurement code is outdated; council directed staff to prepare an ordinance replacing RFPs for small projects over $10,000 with a three-quote process and to allow the town manager emergency authority up to $35,000.
The full story
Town Manager Suzanne Harvey told council the procurement code has not been updated in years and that the current $10,000 RFP threshold is no longer appropriate. She said the town should require three quotes for smaller projects rather than a full RFP and proposed that the Town Manager be authorized to approve emergency expenditures up to $35,000. Town Attorney Thomas Benavidez agreed with the suggested changes and Mayor Wallace directed staff to bring an ordinance back at the next council meeting.
