The Purchasing Policy was last reviewed and approved by City C01.mcil in J anllary <br />2002. At that time, the following thresholds were established: <br /> <br />Purchases of equipment, materials and supplies <br />Less than $3,000 ~ Competitive bidding not required <br />$3,000 - $25,000 ~ Informal competitive bidding <br />Above $25,000 - Formal bidding <br /> <br />Also at that time, Council approved a process solely for determining the lowest bid by allo\ving a <br />5%) reduction from a total bid if the supplier's principal place ofbllsiness resides within the City of <br />San Leandro. <br /> <br />Recently" staff has begun its research on other cities' policies to detennine whether the City's <br />current Policy thresholds should be reevaluated for a potential increase. Staff is also looking into <br />the possibility of simplifying the purchasing process by incorporating all of tlle City's policies for <br />separate purchase types (travel, credit card, and petty cash) into a single policy document. <br /> <br />G\PURCHASINGIPROCEDURESIMEMO TO FTNANCE COMM RE UPDXfE OF POLTCrES 06 07 DOC <br />
