Waive competitive bidding rules to buy city vehicles faster
In Plain English
Supply chain problems mean city vehicles now take years to deliver through normal bidding. The city lost 5 Ford Rangers in March because council approval took too long. If approved, staff can buy vehicles immediately when available through 2024 without further council votes.
