(A) All purchases of equipment, supplies, contractual services, or sales of personal property which are unsuitable for continued use, except as specifically provided in divisions (B) or (C) below, or elsewhere in this subchapter, shall be based wherever possible on competitive bids or estimates. The Council may schedule a public auction for the purposes of disposing of unsuitable personal property.
(B) It is generally recognized that purchasing equipment or supplies by competitive bids or estimates is not possible where the equipment or supplies being purchased are used, or where they are being sold through a factory closeout sale, bankruptcy sale, or other distressed sale.
(C) Upon the recommendation of the Village Manager and for reasons stated on the public record, the Village Council may waive the requirements of the competitive bids or estimates requirements of this subchapter when there is no advantage to the village to do so or where there is a specific defined benefit to the village not to do so.
