GENERAL: ORDINANCE 1288 (#21-06)
AN ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR CREATION OF JMC §3.08.070; FOR THE ADOPTION OF A REVERSE INTERNET AUCTION OPTION FOR PURCHASE OF GOODS AND SERVICES; AND, FOR OTHER PURPOSES.
Finance Director Paul Mushrush related that last year the State Legislature granted municipalities the opportunity to sell goods through a procedure known as a reverse Internet auction,
explaining that a reverse Internet auction is when a vendor low bids to sell. He stated that the structure meets all purchasing law criteria, adding that this process would widen the
pool of available vendors to cities. He explained that the bid is advertised and specifications are sent back by the vendor in advance of the auction. He noted that prior review of
the vendor specifications would clean up the process regarding disqualification of vendors not meeting specifications. He related that one limitation is that the minimum item cost has
to be anticipated at $50,000.00 or more. He noted that in some cases State contract purchases would still be more cost feasible, such as multi-vehicle purchases.
