RECOMMENDATION
This is an informal report, no action is required
DISCUSSION
Palo Alto Municipal Code (PAMC) Section 2.30.710(a) requires the City Manager to provide a
semi-annual report to Council consisting of contracts awarded by the City Manager,
Procurement Officer or other designated employees for:
1. Goods contracts $85,000 through $250,000 per year (Attachment A), and
2. Professional and General Services $25,000 through $85,000 and Public Works Contracts
$85,000 through $250,000 per year (Attachment B).
The contracts in Attachment A consist of twelve (12) distinct awards for goods, and the
contracts in Attachment B consist of sixty-two (62) distinct awards for a wide range of services.
These awards are a core element of the efficient and effective provision of services by the City
to our community and reflect extensive coordination and prudent decision-making.
For informational purposes, Attachment C provides excerpts from the PAMC that set forth the
authority designated by Council to the Procurement Officer to award and sign contracts (PAMC
2.30.200) and City Manager to award and sign contracts (PAMC 2.30.210).
