(a) That the Director of Public Utilities is authorized to enter into standard purchase or requirement contracts duly let to the lowest and best bidders after competitive bidding, for the labor and materials necessary to dispose of catch basin debris citywide, for terms of one (1) year as determined by the Director of Public Utilities to be necessary to the operation of the Division of Water Pollution Control. Any purchases made under this section shall be made by the Commissioner of Purchases and Supplies and paid from the annual appropriations made for this purpose.
(b) As to requirement contracts, alternate bids for a period less than the specified term may be taken if desired by the Commissioner of Purchases and Supplies until provision is made for the requirements for the entire term. The Director of Public Utilities is authorized to enter into one (1) or more contracts with a term of two (2) years instead of one (1) year when there is a financial advantage to the City. For purposes of this section, a financial advantage shall be determined by the Director of Public Utilities by comparing the bids received for both terms.
