Raise minimum contract amount requiring formal bidding and allow electronic bids
In Plain English
The city currently requires formal bidding for contracts above a certain dollar amount. This law raises that threshold, meaning more purchases can skip the lengthy bidding process. The change also allows contractors to submit bids electronically instead of only on paper.
