Sec. 7.600. - Types of Contracts. A. General Authority. Firm fixed price contracting is the preferred method; however, any type of contract which will promote the best interests of the City may be used. A cost reimbursement contract may be used only when a determination has been made that such contract is likely to be less costly to the City than any other type or that it is impractical to obtain the supplies, services, professional services, or construction required except under such a contract. B. Multi-Term Contracts. Unless otherwise provided by law, a contract for supplies, services, professional services, or construction may be entered into for any period of time deemed to be in the best interest of the City. Payment and performance obligations for succeeding fiscal periods shall be subject to availability and appropriation of funds therefor. C. Multiple Source Contracting. A multiple source award may be made by the City when award to more than one respondent for similar products or services (including professional services and construction) is deemed to be in the best interest of the City, for reasons which may include, but are not limited to, adequate delivery, service, or product compatibility.
