The Commissioner of Purchases and Supplies shall prepare or cause to be prepared and shall adopt and may alter, change and amend standard specifications for each class, grade or description of the various articles, commodities, supplies, equipment and materials ordinarily required by the City, in every case where it is practicable to do so. Standard specifications shall be such as will procure for the City articles, commodities, supplies, materials and equipment of the best quality and character and design of the goods required for the purposes to be served, and shall be so drawn as to facilitate the making of bids therefrom, and as to encourage bidding from as many persons, corporations and concerns as may be prepared to furnish the articles, commodities, supplies, materials or equipment, as the same may be needed by the City.
