Sec. 2-157. Competitive bidding process.

Competitive bids are required when the purchase or contract exceeds the sum of $20,000.00, and the mayor, or his duly authorized representative, shall invite competitive bids thereon by legal advertisement in a newspaper as required by law. Bids received pursuant to said advertisement shall be opened and read on the date set for receiving said bids, in the presence of the mayor, or his duly authorized representative. The contract shall be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder provided, however, the mayor, or his duly authorized representative, may reject any and all bids received. Further, nothing in this paragraph shall limit the city council's authority under state law to waive competitive bidding when the city council finds it is not feasible or practical and purchases of greater than $20,000.00 at state bid prices shall be exempt from the provisions of this section.

(Code 1973, § 2-6(c); Ord. No. 2428, § 3, 10-10-95; Ord. No. 3750, § 1, 8-23-05)
