RECOMMENDATION #28

Increase efforts to publicly post available bids and contracts and to simplify the process for potential vendors to find those listings.

City staff will study options for more widely publicizing bid opportunities. This could be implemented in the fourth quarter of calendar year 2020. Opportunities currently identified are:

• Post bid and contract announcements on Facebook and other relevant social media platforms.
• Provide a more visible link on the City’s home page for bid and contract opportunities.
• Include information-sharing on BidSync electronic bidding platform as part of the new vendor fair.

Status: Ongoing

Planned Actions

• Purchasing continues to work with Community Relations and Tourism to ensure bid/proposal opportunities are posted on social media sites.
