Sep 2, 2026

Rifle staff presented and council approved a revision to procurement rules that restores comparative pricing for smaller purchases and raises the city manager's approval threshold from $25,000 to $90,000 to streamline routine procurement.

The full story

Staff proposed amending Article 3 of Chapter 4 of the Rifle Municipal Code to restore comparative pricing for smaller purchases and increase the city manager's approval threshold. Iris, presenting the proposal, said the change would allow staff to obtain two‑to‑three local quotes on small purchases (equipment, materials) instead of relying on cooperative purchases for every purchase under the threshold.
