§ 4.08.047. Competitive selection.

For contracts of $25,000 or more that are not required to be competitively bid, a competitive selection process shall be provided which will be open to all persons qualified to perform such service. Competitive selection is a process where factors in addition to cost are weighed, where a contract can be awarded to other than the proposer with the lowest price and shall be based upon a written request for proposals or qualifications approved by the city attorney and the director of finance. Competitive selection of professional service firms shall be evaluated and determined on the basis of demonstrated competence and on the professional qualifications necessary for the satisfactory performance of the services required.
