With the exception of very minor improvements, all capital projects are constructed by private contractors. The City hires these contractors through a competitive bidding process specified by State law and City ordinances. Notices of opportunities to bid on City contracts are available on PlanetBids. Minor contracts (as defined by City ordinance) can be awarded by the City Manager, while major contracts must be awarded by the City Council of Board of Public Utilities.
Consultants may submit proposals through PlanetBids in response to open Requests for Proposals (RFPs) or Requests for Statements of Qualifications.
