Every effort is undertaken to ensure that all bids, contracts
or professional service with RFPS be first distributed to qualified
vendors, suppliers or professional service providers who have their
business address located in Erie County giving notice of work available
through the City of Erie, thereby affording regional business the
opportunity to perform work for the City of Erie before seeking such
services from outside the Erie County area.
