Contact Procedures
Due to the centralized nature of the purchasing function at the city, supplier representatives should contact the purchasing office, rather than other staff members, with new product information. All potential suppliers are strongly encouraged to register online, as they will then be notified of any bidding or proposal opportunities. Suppliers are cautioned that only purchasing staff is authorized to issue written purchase orders, with the exception of purchasing card orders. Failure to follow these procedures will result in delayed payments or the return of material to the suppliers.
