6.A. - Page 5 of 17 <br />G. This ordinance offers a minimal preference to local businesses for the purchase of goods. <br />Such minimal preference mitigates the fact that local businesses which seek to enter into <br />contracts with the City are at a competitive disadvantage with businesses from other areas <br />because of the higher administrative costs of doing business in the City (e.g. rising costs of <br />living, rising property values and corresponding rents, and rising labor costs on certain <br />employers as a result of the minimum wage ordinance). Additionally, the minimal preference <br />is in the public interest as it encourages businesses to remain in the City. <br />Section 2. Article VII of Chapter 2 of the Redwood City Code is hereby repealed in its <br />entirety. <br />Section 3. The ordinance table of contents and the text in brackets are not ordinance <br />text and therefore should not be published as part of the Redwood City Code. <br />Section 4. A new Article VII of Chapter 2 of the Redwood City Code is hereby adopted <br />and shall be codified to read as follows: <br />ARTICLE VII CITY PURCHASING <br />TABLE OF CONTENTS <br />Sec. 2.63. <br />GENERAL PROVISIONS <br />Sec. 2.63.1. <br />Purpose <br />Sec. 2.63.2. <br />Definitions <br />Sec. 2.63.3. <br />Purchasing Procedures <br />Sec. 2.63.4. <br />Authority to Approve Contracts <br />Sec. 2.63.5. <br />Determination of Lowest Responsive and Responsible Bidder <br />Sec. 2.63.6. <br />Contract Price <br />Sec. 2.63.7. <br />Written Contracts <br />Sec. 2.63.8. <br />City Not Liable / No Waiver <br />Sec. 2.63.9. <br />Bid Rejection <br />Sec. 2.64. <br />PUBLIC WORKS PROJECTS <br />Sec. 2.64.1. <br />Prequalification <br />Sec. 2.64.2. <br />Contracts of $100,000 or More <br />Sec. 2.64.3. <br />Contracts of Over $10,000 and <br />Informal Solicitation <br />Sec. 2.64.4. <br />Use of City Forces <br />Competitive Bidding Process by Formal Solicitation <br />Under $100,000: Competitive Bidding Process by <br />Sec. 2.65.
