Sec. 97. - Purchase procedure.

Paragraph 1. Contracts for the purchase of supplies, material, or equipment, or for contractual services shall be in writing and opportunity for competitive bidding shall be given before they are awarded as required by state law. The Council shall have the right to reject any and all bids. Paragraph 2. Where the contract is for less than the amount required to be bid by state law and the item is one provided for in the budget, the Council by ordinance may authorize designated City officials to approve and execute the contract without Council approval, after public notice, competitive bids, requests for proposals, or other procedures and safeguards as may be required in such ordinance. This provision would apply to all city contracts.
