What is a “Competitive procurement process?
A competitive procurement process includes a request for proposals (RFP), request for qualifications (RFQ), and competitive bidding, finally acted on by Council. The process begins on issuance of official notice of announcement of competitive bidding, RFP’s or RFQ’s, and ends when Council finally awards a contract, or rejects all bids or offers. (See links to “Current Bids” and “Bids Opened” listed below to see which projects are currently subject to the ordinance).
