In the event that a situation should arise that could not reasonably have been foreseen and that threatens the public health, welfare, or safety and requires immediate action, the Purchasing Agent, upon declaration of an emergency, with the approval of the Town Council, may authorize the purchase of supplies which may be required without receiving bids if at least two quotes are invited from persons known to deal in supplies required, so long as the total purchase price does not exceed $50,000. In the event the supplies needed exceed $50,000, then the Purchasing Agent shall present the proposals to the Town Council in the same manner as provided for emergency public work projects under IC 36-1-12-9.
