[CSMFO Members] Purchasing--Required Quotes threshhold

[Jesse Takahashi]

I’m aware of a previous survey on this topic, but the summary did not break down by respondent so I’d like to take another crack at this.  What is your dollar threshold for obtaining multiple quotations from vendors (informal bids) for procurement of materials, supplies, equipment and professional services?   For those of you with higher limits greater than, say, $2,000,  briefly indicate how you justify a higher limit (versus $500).   Please provide responses by Wed, April 26 and I’ll summarize for the group.   Jesse Takahashi City of Campbell 408-379-2572 (Fax) 408-866-2113 (Phone)
