A. 
When the City negotiates any purchase, sale, or other contract, including contracts for public improvements, there shall be provided ample opportunity for competitive bidding in the following manner and with due regard to obtaining products, resources, terms and conditions most advantageous to the City:
1. 
If the consideration is not more than five hundred dollars ($500.00), or the Mayor is authorized to expend said funds without the approval of the Board of Aldermen and without obtaining bids.
2. 
If the consideration is more than five hundred dollars ($500.00), but not more than five thousand dollars ($5,000.00), the Mayor or department head may obtain oral bids, from which the most advantageous bid with proper qualifications as determined by the City shall be accepted. Said purchase must be approved by the Board of Aldermen.
3. 
If the consideration is for more than five thousand dollars ($5,000.00), at least three (3) sealed, written bids shall be solicited from which the Board of Aldermen shall accept the most advantageous bid. Said solicitation shall include a general description of the articles to be purchased or the services to be performed, and the time and place for opening the sealed bids. If three (3) responsible suppliers cannot be reasonably located, the Mayor or department head shall so certify to the Board upon presentation of the bids.
4. 
Sealed bids shall be received by the Mayor or a department head and shall be identified as bids on the envelope. The bids shall be opened in public before the Board of Aldermen at the time and place stated in the invitation to bid; and after the opening, the Mayor or the department head shall tabulate all bids received and shall inform the Board of his or her recommendations as to whom the Board should award the contract.
5. 
The Board, upon receiving the tabulation and recommendation of the Mayor or department head, shall award the contract to the lowest responsible bidder, but shall have the right to reject any and all bids.
6. 
The following shall be the minimal guidelines in determining the lowest responsible bidder:
a. 
The ability, capacity and skill of the bidder to perform the contract or provide the services required.
b. 
Whether the bidder can perform the contract or provide the services promptly or within the time specified, without delay or interferences.
c. 
The character, integrity, responsibility, judgment, experience and efficiency of the bidder.
d. 
Whether the bidder is in default on the payment of taxes, licenses or other moneys due the City, and this factor alone shall justify disqualification.
e. 
The quality and performances of previous contracts or services.
f. 
The previous and existing compliance by the bidder with laws, the provisions of this Code and other City ordinances relating to the contract services.
g. 
The sufficiency of the financial resources and ability of the bidder to perform the contract or provide the service.
h. 
The quality, availability and adaptability of the supplies or contractual services to the particular use required.
i. 
The ability of the bidder to provide, where applicable, future service and maintenance of equipment which is the subject of the contract.
j. 
The number and scope of conditions attached to the bid.
7. 
Individual contracts, purchases, or sales for goods, supplies, commodities, or services shall not be excluded from the requirement of competitive bidding described herein.
8. 
Individual contracts or purchases shall not be subdivided for the purpose of evading the requirement of competitive bidding.
9. 
Except in cases where they are not as restrictive as the City's purchasing regulations, applicable State and Federal laws shall supersede any regulations of the City of Lakeshire concerning purchasing.
B. 
Exceptions.

Professional Services. Contracts for services of professional persons, including, but not limited to, attorneys, physicians, accountants, or other services requiring expert or special knowledge or skill, including, but not limited to, planning consultants, insurance advisors and brokers, auditors, public relations consultants, real estate brokers, and landscape architects shall be exempt from the requirement of competitive bidding.
2. 
Cooperative Purchasing. Contract with any other governmental units or agents for the purpose of cooperative purchasing, when it would best serve the interests of the City, shall be exempt from the requirement of competitive bidding. The Board of Aldermen must, however, verify that the purchase has been subject to competitive bidding by some other governmental entity.
3. 
Exclusive Supplier. Where it shall be determined that there exists a sole supplier without a substitute which would reasonably satisfy the needs of the City, supplies, materials and equipment may be secured in a manner other than competitive bidding. The department head may be authorized to procure such service or commodity without bidding. The department head shall document the particular facts which make the item a single-source purchase, and the purchase shall be approved by the Board of Aldermen.
4. 
Per Unit Pricing. When it shall be deemed more appropriate to obtain per unit pricing at the beginning of the fiscal year, at which time items shall be subject to Board of Aldermen approval, supplies, materials, and equipment may be secured from that same supplier throughout the fiscal year.
5. 
Emergency Purchases. Where an emergency situation requires immediate purchase of supplies or services and time is of the essence, the department head is authorized to procure the supplies or devices needed without following the bidding procedures. The department head shall maintain a written record of the circumstances surrounding emergency purchases and the purchases shall be approved by the Board of Aldermen.
6. 
Situations Calling For Competitive Negotiations. Where it can be demonstrated that the City receives the best value on a purchase through informal discussion and bargaining rather than through the conventional bidding process, the department head need not follow the conventional bidding process exclusively. Such purchases shall be documented by the department head and given prior approval by the Mayor and Board of Aldermen. Examples would include, but not limited to, circumstances where time is a crucial factor, when the procurement involves high technology items, or when there is obvious inherent economy in purchasing from a particular vendor.
