A SEMI-FORMAL PURCHASE is any purchase of capital equipment which ranges between $5,000 and $20,000, and for any contract for supplies, materials, or services which ranges between $5,000 and $20,000. Each semi-formal purchase calls for at least three price quotations if vendors or suppliers are available. Quotations for an identical purchase in the last three months may be considered. The finance department shall honor the user department's choice for supplier. Semi-formal purchases are subject to review and approval by the city council committee with legislative responsibility for the user department.
