Ordinance 126 which is being waived according to this is as follows and note there seems to be a lot of waiving of rules or ordinances of late, doesn't there.................why do we have rules if no one is going to follow them as usually there is a good reason for the rules especially when you are spending taxpayer money:

The Purchasing Code (Ordinance Code Chapter 126) requires that all orders for goods and services exceeding $50,000 are procured using the formal bid process. Orders for goods and services under $50,000 are procured using the informal process. Individual buyers are responsible for purchasing all commodities or services assigned to them.
