Purpose is to establish for all departments the procedures for receiving, inspecting and accepting equipment, materials, supplies, and services. The purchase is complete only when satisfactory performance by the supplier has occurred. Conformance to contracts includes time and place, as well as quantity and quality. An interruption or delay in city activities or schedules due to the failure to keep a promised delivery date is as uneconomical and harmful as any other default, and in addition is unfair to the unsuccessful bidders.
