The bidding procedures of Sec. 3-10.201 or solicitation procedures in Sec. 3-10.401 may be dispensed with in the case of urgency. An urgency shall exist when the service, repair, or replacements are immediately necessary to permit the continued performance of essential operations or services of the City, or result in excessive costs if not immediately remedied, or to avoid the immediate danger to life, health, or property. The City Council delegates authority to the City Manager to declare a public urgency. If the purchase is Seventy-five Thousand and no/100th ($75,000.00) Dollars and over, the City Manager shall give notice of the purchase process to the City Council.
