City of Canton
Purchasing Policy
Adopted: February 21, 2012
Introduction:
The purpose of this document is to provide a purchasing policy and procedure as
guidance for the City of Canton's operating departments in procuring goods and services. This
policy is intended for use by City personnel as a general reference and will be revised for
departmental distribution as policies and procedures require revisions or clarification. The
policies and procedures set forth in the manual are meant to serve as guidelines and will not be
applicable to every purchasing situation that may arise. When purchases that are not covered
by this manual are necessary, they should be made in accordance with the objectives outlined
below.
1. Purchasing services, commodities, materials, and equipment of sufficient quality at the
most economical price available and which best meet the needs of the City;
2. Purchasing in an open, forthright, and ethical manner;
3. Purchasing in a manner which will comply with all local, state, and federal laws; and
4. Purchasing in a timely manner so that services, commodities, materials, and equipment
are available when needed.
Purchasing Function and Responsibilities:
Sections 8-9-1 and 8-9-2 of the Illinois Municipal Code (65 ILCS 5/8-9-1) establish the
dollar value for requiring sealed bids for public works contracts and municipal supplies. The
City Council may by a 2/3 majority vote waive bids and negotiate purchases. The City currently
utilizes the State threshold for sealed bids. Effective August 5, 2005, Public Act 94-0435
increased the municipal bid threshold from $10,000 to $20,000.
The following amounts shall be the maximum amounts of city funds which may be
expended on unbud~eted items by the listed officials on official business for the city
without prior council approval:
Mayor $3,000.00
Department Heads $2,000.00
2
The following amounts shall be the maximum amounts of city funds which may be
expended on unbudseted items by the listed officials on official business for the city on
an emergency situation without prior council approval:
Mayor 10 000.00
Department Heads 5 000.00
City Ordinance 1986 Article 1-16-3 of the Canton City Code states as follows: "Powers
and Duties: The City Administrator shall be responsible to Mayor for proper
administration of all affairs of the city. In discharging this responsibility the City
Administrator shall, as directed by the mayor: (AJ Supervise and coordinate the
administrative function of all departments, offices and agencies of the city... (F)
Coordinate activities between the departments to ensure efficient utilization of
resources and maximize interdependent coordination. (M) Oversee the operations of
the City Administration department providing assistance when needed."
Procedure:
The Mayor and each Department Head shall be responsible for purchasing items up to their
respective limits while following these prescribed procedures for his/her department. All
purchases much meet department requirements and are to be purchased at competitive prices.
It is the desire of the City to purchase from Canton vendors whenever possible. This can be
accomplished by insuring that local vendors who have goods and services available which are
needed by the City are included in the competitive shopping process which will precede most
purchases. The City has a responsibility to its residents, however, to insure that the maximum
value is obtained for each public dollar spent. It is assumed that local vendors who wish to do
business with the City will offer the lowest possible quote for the item being purchased.
The City Purchase Order Form must be completed and signed by the Department Head by
entering the necessary data under the procedures established in this policy. In order to insure
expeditious processing for purchase order it is important that all forms are completed
accurately by the requisitioning department.
Purchases and Contracts Under $1,000
Items and contracts $1,000 or (ess are not subject to any bid/proposal requirements and
shall be at the discretion of the Department Head or his/her designee to determine if the
price is fair and equitable. However, as time allows price comparisons may be obtained.
When items purchased are of a varying nature and quantity, as is the case with office
supplies and auto parts, standard discounts will be negotiated with several suppliers.
3
Purchases and Contracts Between $1,000 and $5,000
Items and contracts in excess of $1,000 but less than $5,000 may be purchased after
obtaining two or more verbal price quotations. These quotations may be obtained via
telephone or in person from the vendors and must be submitted on a Price Inquiry Form
with the Purchase Order Form.
Purchases and Contracts Between $5,000 and $10,000
Items and contracts in excess of $5,000 up to $10,000 may be obtained after receiving two
or more written quotations when and where possible (or if the situation dictates, oral
quotes, followed by vendor written confirmationj. A quotation that is submitted via a
facsimile machine by the bidder shall meet this requirement. These quotes must be
submitted with the Purchase Order Form.
Considerations for Purchases Less Than $10,000 Per Item:
Purchase standard "off the shelf" items rather than special or custom made products.
Whenever practicable, buy in quantities which are standard, (i.e.: a dozen, a full carton,
etc.) to realize better prices. Also, care should be taken to consider the shelf life of the item
needed.
Generally speaking, when making purchases less than $10,000 per item, the specifications,
terms and conditions, and other requirements are usually simplified compared to formal
competitive bidding. This method of purchasing saves staff time when compared to the
process required for formal bidding.
Purchases and Contracts Over $10,000 Per Item
Formal bids/proposals are designed to protect the interest of the bidder, as well as the City
of Canton and to do away with favoritism by reinforcing the concepts of openness and
impartiality.
The following guidelines shall be followed when soliciting for purchases and contracts in
excess of $10,000 per item:
1. Bids/Proposals - Services, Commodities, Materials, or Equipment in Excess of
$10,000
Except as otherwise specified, all services, commodities, materials, or equipment that
cost in excess of $10,000 shall require solicitation of competitive bids/proposals. This
process may be waived in emergencies or where it is impracticable.
4
2. Advertisement for Bids/Proposals
Where required by state or local law or this policy, the City shall advertise by invitation
or publication in newspaper or trade journals for sealed bids/proposals for any
proposed work, materials, commodities, or equipment. Such advertisement shall be
inserted not less than 10 days or more than 30 days before the date set for opening
bids/proposals. The notice for bids/proposals need give only a general description
and/or plans and specifications shall be on file in the Administrative Office for
inspection. The advertisement may call for each bid to be accompanied by a cashier's or
certified check or bid bond in an amount equal up to 10 percent of the bid, to secure
said bid. However, there shall be no duty on the part of the City, or its employees, to
convert said check or bond into cash, and the bidder shall accept all responsibility for
failure of the bank to pay or honor sums.
Said bids/proposals shall be opened by the City Clerk and reported to the City
Administrator, the Mayor, and City Council. The contract shall be let to the lowest
responsible bidder, except that all bids/proposals may be rejected and any
advertisement shall so state.
It should be noted that if only one bid/proposal is received a contract may still be
awarded. Care must be taken to make sure the bid/proposal meets all statutory
procedures and that the price received is fair and reasonable. This will help avoid any
claims of impropriety.
In the event of a tie between two vendors, the contract will be awarded after taking into
consideration such factors as past performance of the vendor, locality, delivery time,
and any other factors deemed appropriate.
Public Works Contracts in Excess of $10,000
1. Bids/Proposals - Public Works Contracts Between $10,000 and $20,000
Contracts in excess of $10,000 up to $20,000 may be obtained after receiving two or
more written quotations when and where possible (or if the situation dictates, oral
quotes, followed by vendor written confirmation). A quotation that is submitted via a
facsimile machine by the bidder shall meet this requirement. These quotes must be
submitted with the check requisition form.
2. Bids/Proposals - Public Works Contracts in Excess of $20,000
5
Section 8-9-1 of the Illinois Municipal Code requires that a municipality go out to bid for
any work or other public improvement which is not to be paid for in whole or in part by
special assessment or special taxation when the expense thereof shall exceed $20,000
(65 ILCS 5/8-9-1). The municipality must let the contract to the lowest responsibility
bidder in manner and form as is prescribed by Ordinance, except that any such contract
may be entered into without advertising for bids by a vote of two-thirds of the Trustees
elected. Whenever, the requirement for advertising for bids is waived by the City
Council Members, the reason for the waiver must be stated publicly. Acceptable
reasons for waiver of the bid requirements include but are not limited to:
a. an emergency purchase;
b. only one vendor available;
c. equipment standardization;
d. the technical nature of the item makes competition impractical;
e. use of joint governmental purchasing program;
f. intergovernmental cooperation governing public improvement projects; or
g. competitive unit prices from a previously awarded contract.
3. Bids/Proposals - Public Works Contracts in Excess $100,000
Contracts in excess of $100,000 follow the same rules as contracts in excess of $20,000,
but the contract has to be awarded to a company that participates in an approved BAT
(Bureau of Apprenticeship Training) program, as per Resolution No 3748.
4. Advertisement for Bids/Proposals
Where required by state or local law or this policy, the City shall advertise by invitation
or publication in newspaper or trade journals for sealed bids/proposals for any
proposed work, materials, commodities, or equipment. Such advertisement shall be
inserted not less than 10 days or more than 30 days before the date set for opening
bids/proposals. The notice for bids/proposals need give only a general description
and/or plans and specifications shall be on file in the Administrative Office for
inspection. The advertisement may call for each bid to be accompanied by a cashier's or
certified check or bid bond in an amount equal up to 10 percent of the bid, to secure
said bid. However, there shall be no duty on the part of the City, or its employees, to
convert said check or bond into cash, and the bidder shall accept all responsibility for
failure of the bank to pay or honor sums.
Said bids/proposals shall be opened by the department head and reported to the City
Administrator, the Mayor, and the City Council. The contract shall be awarded to the
6
lowest responsible bidder, except that all bids/proposals may be rejected and any
advertisement shall so state.
It should be noted that if only one bid/proposal is received a contract may still be
awarded. Care must be taken to make sure the bid/proposal meets all statutory
procedures and that the price received is fair and reasonable. This will help avoid any
claims of impropriety.
In the event of a tie between two vendors, the contract will be awarded after taking into
consideration such factors as past performance of the vendor, locality, delivery time,
and any other factors deemed appropriate.
Emergency Purchases
Emergency purchases are made to protect public health, safety, and welfare that are
threatened due to an event that has occurred or may soon occur. An emergency purchase
shall be considered to be warranted when the purchase of supplies, equipment, or services
is necessary to maintain continuation of vital City services.
When an emergency exists, the Department Head or his/her designee should inform the
City Administrator or his/her designee not later than noon of the work day following the
emergency purchase as to what was required to correct the emergency situation. The City
Administrator or his/her designee will notify the City Council by e-mail within 24 hours of
receiving notification of the emergency and what was required to correct the emergency
situation.
While the need for occasional emergency purchases is recognized, this practice shall be
discouraged as much as possible. On-going materials and services utilized by the City
should never be considered as an emergency purchase. Poor planning, inaccurate usage
history, and inadequate forecasting, however, are often responsible for expedited
purchases and are not bona fide emergency situations. Planning in advance for the needs
of the department is the key to avoiding emergency purchases.
Emergency purchases are normally costly and should be kept to a minimum. They are
usually made hurriedly, on a non-competitive basis and at premium prices. Most vendors
charge a premium when goods must be obtained immediately. By avoiding emergency
orders, the City will save money.
Petty Cash Purchases
A petty cash fund has been established to expedite miscellaneous small purchases. The use
of petty cash funds is authorized for reimbursement purposes. Petty cash funds should not
7
exceed a single purchase amount of $50 unless previously authorized by the City
Administrator, City Treasurer, or City Comptroller.
Use of petty cash is intended for convenience and/or unforeseen purchases. It is not
intended to circumvent the established purchasing procedures or to avoid proper planning
of activities. Petty cash should be limited to:
1. The purchase of items which are not ordinarily on hand in the City.
2. The payment of handling or C.O.D. charges for goods delivered.
3. Small purchases that must be made in a timely fashion.
In order to receive reimbursement, it is mandatory to present an itemized receipt obtained
from the vendor and complete a Petty Cash Slip. Petty cash is available from the City
Treasurer or the City Comptroller.
Credit Card Purchases
Prior to any employee receiving a City credit card, the employee is required to sign a
Cardholder Agreement form. After an employee signs the Cardholder Agreement form, it
may take up to six weeks to process and obtain the card. Employees with a City credit
card will be asked ta sign a new Cardholder Agreement every April prior to the start of a
new fiscal year. Refusal to sign the Cardholder Agreement will result in immediate
cancellation of the City credit card. Cancellation of a City credit card can be requested by
an employee or their Department Head at anytime. Upon separation from employment
with the City, the credit card must be returned to the City Treasurer/City Comptroller for
cancellation and disposal.
When purchases are made on any City credit card, an itemized receipt must be attached to
the statement in order for the City Treasurer/City Comptroller to process the payment. If a
receipt is not available, a Missing Receipt Statement must be filled out and signed by the
Department Head prior to submitting to the City Treasurer/City Comptroller. If not
approved by the Department Head, the employee is responsible for paying the total amount
of the purchase.
The City credit card may not be used for the following purchases:
• Meals and related expenses while cardholder is in a per diem travel status
• Alcohol or any substance, material or service which violates policy, law or
regulations pertaining to the City of Canton
• Personal expenses
• Cash advances
8
• Prescription drugs/controlled substances
• Equipment with a trade-in
• Any purchase that is prohibited by current City purchasing policies and procedures
Only the approved cardholder may use the City credit card. Use by anyone other than the
cardholder is prohibited. The card is NOT transferable between cardholders or
departments.
Purchasing card transaction must not be split to divide a larger purchase, which is over the
cardholder's single purchase limit.
The cardholder shall retain a copy of the original itemized charge slip/receipt or invoice for
all goods and services purchased, and any other information related to the purchase. These
items need to be forwarded on to the Department Head as soon as possible for inclusion
with their monthly report.
It is the responsibility of the cardholder to attempt to resolve any disputes with a vendor. If
a resolution is not possible, the cardholder should report the problem to the Department
Head and the City Treasurer/City Comptroller.
The cardholder is responsible for reporting the loss/theft of the card immediately to Wells
Fargo (1-800-231-5511), the Department Head, City Administrator and the City
Treasurer/City Comptroller.
Employees using their own credit cards to make purchases on the City's behalf should
follow the same guidelines stated above. Employees should not use their own credit cards
unless it is an emergency situation or they have prior approval from their Department Head.
To the degree practicable, City issued credit cards shall be utilized.
Misuse of the card is considered a violation that could result in disciplinary action. If it is
determined that a card has been used inappropriately, the card will be immediately
cancelled and a full reimbursement for those charges will be made to the City.
Expenditure Reimbursement Guidelines
Employees must complete an Expense Report Form with attach itemized receipts and
obtain Department Head approval. If a receipt is not available, a Missing Receipt Statement
must be filled out and signed by the Department Head prior to submitting to the City
Treasurer/City Comptroller. If not approved by the Department Head, the employee is
responsible for paying the total amount of the purchase. The Department Head needs to
submit a Purchase Order with the Expense Report Form and itemized receipts to the City
Treasurer/City Comptroller to process the payment.
