would otherwise be required; however, there must be written documentation
created and maintained that outlines the process and rationale for
such exceptions:
1.
Competitive Proposals. If time does not permit the use of sealed
bids, or the award will be made on the basis of non-price related
factors, a competitive proposal process shall be initiated by the
issuance of a request for proposals (RFP) or request for qualifications
(RFQ) prepared by the Board of Aldermen or its designee that includes
the factors that will be used to evaluate and compare the proposals.
Bids or qualifications shall be obtained from an adequate number of
qualified sources [at least two (2) vendors] to ensure that the City
has received a fair and reasonable price and all notification and
record-keeping requirements of the sealed bid process shall be followed.

services the City will use the request for qualifications process
as set forth in Sections 8.285 to 8.291 RSMo.

Sole Source Purchases. If the Board of Aldermen determines that
there is only one (1) possible source for a proposed purchase, it
may waive the bid process and authorize the purchase from the sole
source.
4.
Recurring Purchases. If the total value of a recurring purchase
of a good or service is anticipated to exceed five thousand dollars
($5,000.00) during any fiscal year, the bid process shall be utilized
and shall specify the recurring nature of the purchase. Once a bid
has been accepted, all future purchases shall be made from that bidder
without the necessity of additional bids, until such time as the Board
of Aldermen votes to initiate a new bid process.
5.
Emergency Purchases. The Board of Aldermen, or such other persons
who have been given such authority by the Board of Aldermen, may award
contracts and make purchases for the purpose of meeting the public
emergency without complying with the bid process.

subdivision of any other state; or with any association of municipalities
or political subdivisions; provided, that the cooperative purchasing
program follows a competitive bidding process.

selection of providers for services that are characterized by a high
degree of professional judgment and discretion, including legal, financial,
and auditing.
8.
Federally funded non-competitive purchases for two hundred fifty
thousand dollars ($250,000.00) or more require a cost analysis to
determine the reasonableness of the proposed pricing and should be
completed in accordance with the requirements of the federal or state
