The City’s Purchasing Division is authorized by the City Council to buy or make commitments on the City’s behalf. The City is mandated by City Charter, as well as City Code and State Statutes. Although individual departments have their specific needs and criteria for purchases, all purchasing activities, including issuance of Purchase Orders, the written quote and sealed bid process are done by the City Purchasing Division.<\/p>\n
Procurement is centralized at $10,000. Purchases over this amount must be routed through the City Purchasing Division. The formal sealed bid limit is $50,000 at which notices are placed in the Yakima-Herald-Republic Legal Notice Section and on the City Purchasing web page. Specifications may be picked up, mailed, or downloaded off the web page (preferred). Sealed bids are opened and read publicly in the City Council Chambers, or another designated location. Bid tabs are available online.<\/p>\n
If the purchase is for a Public Work and Improvement Project, the City is subject to the current Revised Code of Washington Statutes (RCW\u2019s), Title 39. At the City, Purchasing handles only Limited Public Work under $35,000. Larger projects go through the City\u2019s Engineering Division at 509-575-6111.<\/p>\n
