The Purchasing Office advertised and solicited competitive bids in accordance with the relevant provisions of City Code Chapter 329 relating to competitive bidding (RFQ028536). Twenty-six (26) vendors (25 Majority, 1 MBE/EBE) were solicited and three (3) majority bids were received and opened on September 6, 2024.
