Sacramento City Code § 3.62.010
in effect3.62.010 City contract defined.
A. For purposes of this chapter, "city contract" means a contract awarded to a covered employer for services or a public project in return for compensation of $250,000 or more, including:
1. A contract for services or a public project in an amount less than $250,000 when awarded, but that is amended to increase the total compensation to $250,000 or more. Such a contract will be a city contract beginning on the effective date of the amendment except as provided in subsection B.
2. A contract for services or a public project that, by itself, does not qualify as a city contract but is awarded under the following circumstances: the aggregate value of that contract and of any other contracts for services or public projects the city has awarded to the same person within the previous 12 months is $250,000 or more. Once a contract qualifies as a city contract under this subsection, it remains a city contract until it expires or is terminated.
B. "City contract" does not include the following:
1. Contracts awarded by the city manager in response to an emergency. An emergency exists when the city manager determines that the services or public project covered by the contract must be provided immediately to safeguard life, health, or property; to permit the continued conduct of city operations or services; or to mitigate further damage.
2. Contracts for the purchase or lease of equipment, supplies, or other personal property, even if they include incidental services such as delivery, installation, or maintenance. (Ord. 2020-0013 § 13; Ord. 2016-0036 § 2)
