All contracts for construction management and contracts for professional design services shall be awarded on the basis of the qualifications of the potential contractor and price, as determined by the City Manager or his or her designee. Prospective contractors shall submit proposals in accordance with instructions and specifications of the City. These proposals shall include price. The City may reject any and all proposals. If the contracts equals or exceeds fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00), the City Manager shall recommend to the City Council the lowest and best proposal, based on the qualifications of the contractor, price and other relevant factors. City Council may approve the contract on its consent agenda or by separate motion. These procedures are not intended to be formal bidding requirements, but rather an informal procedure to determine the best contractor to whom a contract should be awarded.
