Tiburon Municipal Code Art. III Contracts for Services

(a) Service contracts that exceed thirty thousand dollars shall, whenever practicable, be based on at least three price quotations and shall be awarded on the basis of the price quotation most advantageous to the town. Notwithstanding the foregoing, contracts for environmental review services may be let on the basis of two price quotations. Price quotations may be solicited by direct mail requests to prospective service providers or by telephone.

(b) The town may consider factors other than price in determining the most advantageous price quotation. These factors shall include, without limitation, the quality and performance of the subject services; the ability of the provider to provide the services in a timely fashion; the quality of the provider's performance in past transactions with the town or others; and the ability of the provider to provide future related services that the town may require.

(c) Price quotations shall not be required in any of the following circumstances:

(1) In the judgment of the town manager, the solicitation of price quotations would for any reason be an idle act;

(2) The contract is for services that can only be obtained from one provider;

(3) In the judgment of the town manager, there exist particular time considerations such that it appears likely that the solicitation of price quotations would be contrary to the interests of the town.
