Purchasing
Mission Statement
The Purchasing Division's goal is to provide city departments with a central location for purchasing goods, equipment, and services, while encouraging an atmosphere of fairness, honesty, and integrity in dealing with customers, suppliers, and staff. Our goal is to spend the city taxpayer's money wisely so that maximum value is obtained for its limited financial resources.Vendor/Bid Notifications
The City has transitioned to a new e-Bid/RFx software powered by Negrometrix. All solicitations will be released electronically through Negometrix and responses from bidders must be submitted electronically through this online platform. By using Negometrix, prospective bidders will be provided with all information regarding a bid including addendums and changes to the project requirements. Negometrix is a completely free service for all respondents. Prior to submitting a proposal, respondents are required to set up their free account with Negometrix.
