Purchasing responsibilities:
The purchasing division is responsible for the procurement of supplies
and services the city needs for efficient operation and maintenance.
To provide these supplies and services at the lowest possible cost,
almost everything is purchased through the competitive bid process. We
have an obligation to the citizens of Red Bluff to obtain the maximum
value for the money we spend and at the same time provide reliable service.
City Contracts
The purchasing division maintains a list of vendors who ask to be
notified when certain types of goods and services are bid. Your name
can be added to the roster by submitting a list of the supplies or
services you offer, together with your firm's name, address, and
telephone number. When the city solicits informal or formal bids, the
list is consulted by the purchasing officer to obtain an appropriate
list of bidders. The city is not obligated to contract all bidders when
soliciting bids. In addition, legal advertisements will be published
when required.
