• Section 4 of chapter 30B

  paragraphs (a) and (b) → (a) Except as permitted pursuant to this section and section 7, for the procurement of a supply or service in the amount of $10,000 or greater, but not more than $100,000, a procurement officer shall seek written quotations from no fewer than 3 persons customarily providing the supply or service. The procurement officer shall record: (1) the names and addresses of all persons from whom quotations were sought, (2) the purchase description used for the procurement, (3) the names of the persons submitting quotations and (4) the date and amount of each quotation. Such information shall be retained in the file required pursuant to section 3. A governmental body may require that any procurement in an amount of not more than $100,000 be subject to the provisions of section 5 or section 6. (b) The procurement officer shall award the contract to the responsible person offering the needed quality of supply or service at the lowest quotation unless the procurement officer elected to procure the supply or service subject to section 6. If the supply or service was procured subject to section 6, the procurement officer shall award the contract pursuant to section 6 subsection (g).

  This change establishes a new process for procuring supplies or services in amounts between $10,000 and $100,000.
