107.04 EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR AWARDING OF CONTRACTS.
   (a)   In securing services or materials for projects which are not anticipated to exceed fifty thousand dollars ($50,000), in cost, every effort shall be made to secure the services or materials at the lowest available price.
   (b)   With respect to each purchase of services or materials so made, procedures shall be established so that each supplier of such services or materials within the local community will be given an opportunity to participate in the awarding of contracts for such services and materials whenever possible. In no event shall any supplier of services or materials be shown a preference or favoritism over other suppliers who are capable of providing the same or equal services or materials at an equal or lower price. However, the requirements of this section shall not be construed to require the award of any contract to a supplier when such an award would be less favorable to the best interests of the Village than if the contract were awarded to another supplier.
