B. SMALL PURCHASE PROCEDURES

City Council · 2026-05-19 · agenda_item

This agenda item concerns the City of West Melbourne's procedures for making small purchases. These procedures apply to purchases that are larger than a micro-purchase but smaller than a simplified acquisition threshold. The city will generally seek price or rate quotations from at least three qualified sources when possible. Documentation will be kept to support each purchase, including the sources contacted and prices received. This item is currently under review by the City Council. The procedures outlined could lead to various contracting opportunities for local businesses. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to familiarize themselves with these purchasing guidelines. Understanding these procedures early can help businesses prepare to compete for future work as it arises.
