The city manager shall establish procedures for procurements excluded from competitive
bidding requirements under Section 1002 of the city charter. These procedures shall include requiring city departments to
consider quotes from local vendors, as shall be defined in the procedures, prior to
considering quotes from non-local vendors and to purchase goods and service locally
where commercially reasonable. When the material or service is in fact a single purchase,
it shall not be divided into parts for the purpose of reducing the amount of the contract
below the sum of the $25,000.
