PURCHASING
|
County purchasing procedures are governed by California
Public Contract Code and County
Ordinance, Chapter
2.50. Purchasing is a function of the Administrative
Services Department of Yuba County. The Purchasing Agent
of Yuba County is charged with the responsibility of
providing purchasing oversight for all departments and
administers contracts required by law to be
made on competitive bid. County departments have delegated
authority given by the Purchasing
Agent to
make
purchases of certain materials and equipment under
$15,000. Public Works Contracts are
administered by the
Director of Public Works. Every purchase is made in the
County’s best interest while providing vendors a fair
and equal opportunity to do business with
the County.
The County will consider:
|
-
The price
-
The quality of the product
-
The suitability of the product for the intended use
-
The ability, experience, efficiency, integrity, and
financial responsibility of the bidder
-
Qualifications for technical or expert services

HOW DO I GET ON THE VENDOR LIST?
Invitations for Bids (IFB) and Request for Proposals
(RFP) are usually sent to those firms listed under the
commodity being requested. The County may also choose to
use other sources such as the telephone book and/or
yellow pages to obtain names of firms which may be
capable of supplying the commodities/services. Vendors
remain on the Vendor List for two years as long as they
continue in good standing with Yuba County and return a
bid request or respond with a "No Bid" to bid requests.
