1-8-1. Purchasing policy.

The purpose of this chapter is to establish standards and guidelines for the acquisition of supplies, material, equipment, and services for Tooele County and its departments. This chapter is an effort to provide increased economy in procurement and to ensure equitable treatment for all persons who deal with or wish to deal with the County in the procurement process. County Officers and employees shall attempt to make purchases in Tooele County, when possible, at the lowest available prices. If prices for an item or service are comparable at different sources, attempts should be made to alternate procurements at least every 90 days from the various suppliers to avoid the appearance of favoritism. (Ord. 95-19, 9/12/95; Ord. 92-5, 9/1/92)
