Why are only professional contracts included?
Professional service contracts are no-bid contracts. This means that municipalities can set their own standards for hiring professionals- like attorneys, engineers, and auditors. Contracts for such things as snow removal automatically go to the lowest bidder. A town doesnt necessarily want the lowest professional bid; therefore the council has broad discretion.
