Are there dollar limits which govern the purchasing procurement method?
Yes. They are as follows: Individual Township departments may make purchases via their own staff for supplies/services where the value does not exceed $1000 and are NOT under contract via annual supply contracts. The Purchasing Division will obtain price quotes for supplies/services where the value falls between $1,000 and $9,999. For most purchases exceeding $10,000 formal sealed bids are required. This requires that an advertisement be placed in the local paper with a set time and place for receipt of a sealed bid.
