10.39.6 Application of Article.
Each year the City spends millions of dollars contracting for the delivery of products and services from private sector contractors. The prudent expenditure of public dollars requires that the City’s procurement process result in the selection of qualified and responsible contractors. While most products and services are delivered in accordance with the terms of the contract, there are exceptions. According-ly, the contractor’s prior performance on City contracts would be particularly important to know. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to implement a contractor evaluation program and establish databases on contractor performance. The contractor evaluation program will assure that contractors are routinely evaluated in accordance with approved criteria and that this evaluative data is catalogued and readily accessible to and considered by contract awarding authorities prior to entering into contracts.
