A department head, with prior approval of the town manager, may make or authorize
others to make procurements of supplies, services or construction items in amounts
less than $3,000.00 per vendor, on a routine basis to maintain work flow and services.
If the vendor is under contract with the town, the purchase shall be from that vendor,
unless extenuating circumstances exist which make it impractical or undesirable to
purchase from that vendor. For purchases less than $3,000.00, there shall be no need
to obtain quotations. The purchases are to be reviewed quarterly by the purchasing
manager and the finance department for adherence to competitive and fair purchasing
practices.
