Consideration of Resolution No. 24-1059 amending City Council Policy PI-1A (Bidding Requirements Policies for Public Improvement Projects).
Body
________________________________________________________________________________
Summary:
The current policy for the Bidding Requirements Policies for Public Improvement Projects (City Council Policy PI-1A) requires that new public improvement construction estimated to cost more than $25,000 will be competitively bid and brought to the City Council for a decision on whether to accept the lowest responsible bid. On October 1, 2024, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 24-38 amending Olathe Municipal Code Chapter 3.50 (Procurement Policies) which moved the competitive bidding threshold and the City Manager’s purchasing authority to $100,000. Attachment A is a proposed resolution to change the threshold in Policy PI-1A from $25,000 to $100,000. Staff recommends making this change to bring the policy in alignment with the new procurement threshold.
