Procurement Services is committed to acquiring high-quality goods and services at competitive prices while adhering to legal and ethical guidelines and ensuring that the residents of Wheaton obtain the greatest value for every dollar spent.
The City has established threshold amounts that allow for comparative pricing, written quotations, or a formal bidding process.
For procurements under $5,000, City staff utilize a City-issued Procurement Credit Card to acquire low-cost, readily available goods.
For procurements ranging from $5,001 to $35,000, the Informal Competitive Process is utilized. City staff employ the Request for Quote (RFQ) method to solicit a minimum of three written quotations.
For procurements exceeding $35,000, a Formal Competitive Process is initiated through a public Invitation to Bid (ITB) or Request for Proposal (RFP). These procurements require City Council approval.
