[Ord. No. 3641, 3-20-2023]
Nothing in the purchasing policy of the City's Municipal Code shall be interpreted to preclude the use of selection methods, including, but not limited to, qualifications-based selection, design-build contracts, and/or negotiated contracts with architectural, engineering and construction services to the extent permitted by applicable law. In this purchasing policy, "design-build" means a project in which the design and construction services are furnished under one (1) contract with a contractor selected primarily based on qualifications and "qualifications-based selection" means a negotiated procurement process for the selection of professional architects, engineers and land surveying services using objective criteria looking for competence and experience relative to the work to be performed.
