Information for Vendors
Welcome to our Purchasing Division. We appreciate your interest and hope this guide will be of benefit to you. Our aim is to be helpful to you in your sales effort and to promote a climate for good business relationships. We place a high value on friendly, personal contacts with our vendors or potential vendors. This pamphlet outlines our operation, procedures and policies. Whenever you need more information, please ask us.
Our Job
Our job is to purchase the materials and services we need, when we need them, at optimum quality and prices, keeping in mind that public monies are being spent.
We welcome suggestions from vendors who can offer specification changes, new techniques, or the use of new materials which could result in a better buy for the City.
Scheduling Meetings
It is our intention that all vendors have an opportunity to present their products and services. Vendor representatives will be received in the Purchasing Division for this purpose.
We will make every effort to see you, particularly if this is your first visit; however, we believe that planned visits are the most productive since we are able to prepare questions and develop points of interest; thus, vendor interviews are preferred by appointment.
