City Council

9.3 APPROVING THE VENDOR PROCUREMENT LIST AND CONTRACTS WITH\nVARIOUS VENDORS\nComments:\nFrom time to time, the City Council approves a list of vendors and purchasing limits for\nthese vendors who provide materials, supplies and products used by Public Works in the\ndaily course of business. Due to changes in the City’s purchasing policy and based on\nrecent purchasing history, staff recommends approving the vendor list and purchasing\nlimits to allow purchase orders to be opened without a contract. By approving the\nvendors’ list and the individual expenditure limits and approving contracts with\nconsultants for services, the purchasing process will be somewhat streamlined and will\nprovide for more cost effective and efficient operations. The-approval of this list will not\neliminate the need to compare prices where required under the Lynwood Municipal Code\nand for staff to stay within the City Council approved budget. (PW)\nRecommendation:\nStaff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution entitled: “A\nRESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD APPROVING\nTHE PUBLIC WORKS VENDOR PROCUREMENT LIST AND VENDOR CONTRACTS,\nWITH INDIVIDUAL EXPENDITURE LIMITS ”
